The European Union’s AI Act has far-reaching implications beyond Europe, influencing AI governance in countries such as Thailand. This article explores how Thailand is adopting AI regulations inspired by the EU’s comprehensive legal framework. The EU AI Act, which focuses on transparency, risk management, and ethical AI practices, serves as a model for Thailand as it seeks to develop its own AI legal instruments.

Thailand's AI regulatory framework is evolving to address issues such as data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and the ethical use of AI in sectors like healthcare, finance, and public administration. The article highlights that Thailand is particularly interested in adopting the EU’s approach to classifying AI systems based on risk levels, ensuring that high-risk AI applications are subjected to stricter regulations.

The article also discusses the potential challenges Thailand may face in implementing these regulations, including the need for robust enforcement mechanisms and the importance of international collaboration to maintain alignment with global AI standards.
