Assoc. Prof. Dr. Asanee Kawtrakul, a senior advisor and prominent figure in Thailand’s science and technology, especially in the AI community, will deliver a keynote speech commemorating the sesquicentennial of Thai telecommunications while also reviewing “The Discourse,” a newly released book exploring the National Frontier Research Initiative.

In this intimate mini-tea talk, she will reflect on 150 years of Thai telecommunications—from the establishment of the country’s first telegraph line in 1875, through AI, to today’s technological landscape—drawing from her lifetime of experiences. She will also emphasize responsible science communication. A recording of the session will be made publicly available following the event.
