Thailand has launched the second cohort of the NEXUS AI leadership programme, an initiative designed to strengthen the country’s capacity to develop strategic leadership in artificial intelligence across public and private sectors.

The programme, developed through collaboration between Chulalongkorn University and a network of national and international technology partners, aims to equip senior executives with the knowledge and tools required to guide organisations through the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Organisers say the second cohort reflects strong demand from leaders across government agencies and major businesses seeking to integrate artificial intelligence into decision making and operational strategy.

The NEXUS AI programme, short for Network for Executive Xceleration and Unbounded Scale, was created to deepen executive level understanding of artificial intelligence and encourage the practical adoption of emerging technologies in both policy and industry.

Its curriculum focuses on strategic leadership, real world applications of AI and collaboration across sectors to accelerate innovation within Thailand’s digital economy.

Participants receive guidance from technology experts and industry executives alongside workshops that explore how artificial intelligence can transform organisational strategy, customer engagement and operational efficiency.

The programme also emphasises ethical governance and responsible deployment of AI systems as advanced technologies become increasingly integrated into economic and social systems.

The initiative forms part of Thailand’s broader push to strengthen digital competitiveness and prepare institutions for the rapidly expanding global AI economy.

By connecting leaders from government, academia and the private sector, organisers aim to build a collaborative network capable of driving technological transformation across industries.

Partnerships supporting the programme include digital economy agencies and major technology companies, reflecting the growing importance of cross sector cooperation in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

These collaborations are intended to give participants exposure to global best practices and cutting edge technological developments.

Officials involved in the programme say the launch of the second cohort represents an important step toward expanding Thailand’s artificial intelligence ecosystem.

By empowering leaders to apply AI responsibly and strategically, the initiative is designed to strengthen innovation, enhance economic competitiveness and position Thailand as a regional centre for advanced technology development.

As demand for artificial intelligence expertise accelerates worldwide, programmes such as NEXUS AI aim to ensure Thai institutions possess the leadership capabilities required to guide organisations and industries through the next phase of digital transformation.
