Mr. Sharad said: \u201cThailand is in a privileged position to share the benefits of AI with its neighbors in the ASEAN region and maximize its potential for Thai people. We have a robust data and telecom-tech infrastructure that operates in a stable and reliable business environment. To realize the full value of these assets, True Corporation is calling for greater regional collaboration on the topic of responsible AI in all three ESG dimensions: environmental, social and governance. This will ensure AI benefits everyone in Thailand and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Mehrotra noted that AI is projected to significantly boost productivity, potentially adding up to $1 trillion to ASEAN\u2019s GDP by 2030 (as per research by McKinsey & Company). True Corporation has been leveraging AI to personalize customer experiences, automate operations, and reduce energy consumption, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030 and net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is already transforming our customers\u2019 experience, with 35% faster service in shops, as well as Generative AI chatbots that can be reached 24\/7. AI also allows us to be more efficient, reducing energy consumption at our sites by up to 15%, in line with our climate goals,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mehrotra also discussed the industries that are likely to benefit from AI, emphasizing its transformative potential across various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, and marketing. He underscored True Corporation\u2019s strategic initiatives, such as the creation of the Chief Customer & AI Officer role, which drives innovation and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
