These companies also joined other six companies (Cisco, Curiosity Software, Dynatrace, Elastic, PALO IT, Slack) in showcasing their AI solutions in the “Exhibition Showcase” zone. Located in the same area were booths showcasing a variety of AI projects and demos by KBTG and its subsidiaries: KX and Kubix. Some examples of these projects are Car Inspection AI (using AI to automatically assess car damage), CCTV Analytics (analyzing the performance of bank branches with de-identified data), Asset Intelligence (improving NPA images decoration using AI to increase sales), and AINU (identity verification technology and AI business solution from KX – currently open for business).

Mr. Ruangroj Poonpol, Group Chairman of KBTG expressed his gratitude to all attendees and partners who have partaken in the event, saying “this is the first big conference hosted by KBTG. Our aim for KBTG Techtopia is to create a platform where we can learn together, help each other grow and elevate the Thai tech ecosystem to the next level. This year, we have witnessed how fast AI is evolving. While new opportunities are presented to us, more and more people begin to fear the possibility of AI replacing their jobs in the near future. Nevertheless, if we possess the right knowledge, skill and mindset, I believe we can use AI to augment human’s capability and help us achieve the things we never could before.
The next ten years will definitely go by faster than the past 50 years, so it is up to us whether we want to be transformed or drive the transformation ourselves. This is the perfect time for us to imagine the world in which we would like to live, then explore how AI can assist us in turning that vision into a reality. Once we have the answer, we can think and create said world together. Essentially that is what KBTG Techtopia is about: uncovering new possibilities and realizing the future with a community of people who are as passionate as you.”
In response to Kasikornbank’s business strategies based on ESG principles in the drive towards sustainable growth, KBTG will donate all proceeds from ticket and merchandise sales to Thailand Environment Institute, a non-profit, non-governmental organization focusing on environmental and sustainable development issues.
