Speaking at the launch yesterday (May 25), party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and deputy leader Karndee Leopairote said the platform was part of the party’s push to improve transparency and public access to state information.
The launch coincided with the party’s 80th anniversary and followed its pledge to make government data easier to access and monitor, particularly in state procurement, reports the Bangkok Post.
Mr Abhisit said the system would initially be used internally to analyse procurement data using AI. Its first review covered 1,276 AI-related government projects worth a combined B4.27 billion.
The party said some projects appeared to offer limited public benefit, raising concerns over inefficiency and possible corruption. It also questioned the lack of a clear national AI strategy, alleging that some agencies had labelled ordinary digital projects as AI initiatives.
Preliminary reviews of project terms and procurement details also identified possible risks of failing to meet Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development standards, which Thailand hopes to achieve within two years.
The party said it had also identified three private firms involved in the procurement process and would examine possible links to political office-holders or political donations.
Mr Abhisit cited the “AI Passport” project as a potentially high-risk case and warned that serious findings could lead to parliamentary scrutiny, including a no-confidence debate.
