Global AI lawNo AI act in force — a draft AI bill completed public consultation on 14 August 2026, while binding AI standards are already gazetted

AI Laws in Thailand

Thailand has no artificial-intelligence act. It has something less often noticed and more concrete: 31 AI-specific instruments already published, of which the largest group is binding industrial standards. The Ministry of Industry has gazetted a run of ประกาศกระทรวงอุตสาหกรรม adopting Thai Industrial Standards for AI systems — AI system life-cycle processes, functional safety of AI systems, bias in AI systems, AI risk-management guidance, and a framework for AI systems using machine learning — each published in ราชกิจจานุเบกษา, the Royal Gazette, with its own effective date. Alongside them sit a National Health Security Office notification setting reimbursement for AI-assisted chest radiograph reading, an order of the National Digital Economy and Society Committee establishing the committee that drives the national AI plan, and a recommendation of the President of the Supreme Court on the use of AI in judicial case work, issued 22 October 2025. ⚠️ The headline instrument — (ร่าง) พระราชบัญญัติว่าด้วยปัญญาประดิษฐ์ พ.ศ. .... — is a DRAFT. Its public consultation on law.go.th closed on 14 August 2026 and it was not law when this page was verified. An earlier promotion-and-support AI bill and a draft AI-sandbox notification from ETDA went through the same consultation route in 2023. Everything above is read from the two official Thai publication surfaces, the Royal Gazette and law.go.th, and nothing here is carried from a secondary summary.
