Thailand, Sept. 30, 2024 –</strong> <a href="https://about.google/">Google</a> today announced a US$1 billion investment to expand its digital infrastructure into Thailand with the development of its cloud and data center infrastructure in Bangkok and Chonburi. This investment will help meet growing demand for cloud services in Southeast Asia and around the world. Google also announced new, expanded initiatives designed to help Thailand thrive in the AI economy, including continued investments to make AI and digital skills more accessible to “Leave No Thai Behind."</p> <p>Unveiled at Government House with Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand, and Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, this announcement demonstrates shared progress following the <a href="https://www.googlecloudpresscorner.com/2023-11-15-Google-Announces-Plans-to-Expand-Infrastructure-Investments-in-Thailand-Alongside-Initiatives-to-Help-the-Country-Thrive-in-the-AI-Economy">agreement</a> concluded with the Royal Thai Government in November 2023. This agreement includes commitments to establish digital infrastructure, support responsible AI adoption, advance cloud-first policies, and make digital skills more accessible in Thailand.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.googlecloudpresscorner.com/image/AI+Samart+Thailand.jpg" style="float: none; max-height: none; max-width: 100%; margin-left: 0px;" /><br /> <em>Caption (from left): Announcing Google’s US$1 billion investment to build its first data center and cloud region in Thailand were Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google; and Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand.</em></p> <p><strong>Digital infrastructure investments</strong></p> <p>Google’s US$1 billion (THB 36 billion) investment in world-class technical infrastructure has the potential to add US$4 billion to Thailand's GDP by 2029 and support an average of 14,000 jobs annually from 2025 through 2029, according to a <a href="https://www.gstatic.com/gumdrop/files/thailand-forward-looking-vfinal-91924.pdf">study</a> by Deloitte. Google’s cloud and data center infrastructure in Bangkok and Chonburi will help meet growing demand for Google Cloud capabilities, AI innovations, and the company’s popular digital services—such as Search, Maps, and Google Workspace—that organizations and people in Thailand, as well as billions of people around the world, use every day.</p> <p>Today’s news follows Google Cloud’s 2022 <a href="https://www.googlecloudpresscorner.com/2022-08-11-Google-Cloud-Announces-Plans-for-First-Cloud-Region-in-Thailand-to-Advance-the-Countrys-Next-Phase-of-Economic-Development">announcement</a> of plans to launch a local cloud region to make it easier and faster for public sector organizations, small businesses, startups, and large enterprises to benefit from Google Cloud’s on-demand compute and AI and machine learning (ML) resources. The cloud region will deliver high-performance and low-latency services and offer customers key controls that allow them to maintain the highest security, data residency, and compliance standards, including specific data storage requirements.</p> <p>Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand, said: "Thailand is fast becoming a digital hub in Southeast Asia, propelled by a talented workforce and investments in technology infrastructure from industry leaders like Google. The Royal Thai Government deeply appreciates Google’s ongoing partnership to strengthen our digital economy, particularly its efforts in the past five years to train millions of Thais in critical digital skills, and its latest plans to equip even more citizens with the tools and knowledge needed for the jobs of tomorrow. Google's investment in its data center and cloud region in Chonburi and Bangkok, respectively, coupled with growing Thai expertise in cloud computing and AI, are perfectly aligned with our national Cloud First Policy. This synergy will accelerate the development of innovative digital services and in turn unlock economic opportunities and enhance the quality of life for all Thais."</p> <p>Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, said: “Google’s infrastructure investments in Thailand represent a major milestone in our commitment to expand opportunities for Thais in the digital age. These investments will empower Thai businesses, innovators, and communities to harness the power of cloud and AI technology. Google’s commitment to making digital skills accessible to all helps drive economic growth and create a more inclusive and prosperous digital future for people and organizations across Thailand.”</p> <p><strong>Continued investment in Al literacy programs</strong></p> <p>As AI reshapes industries, equipping Thais with the knowledge and skills to use this technology is paramount. Google will soon mark 13 years on the ground in Thailand; over the past five years, Google has trained more than 3.6 million Thais, including students, educators, small business owners, and developers, underscoring its commitment to making digital skills accessible to all.</p> <p>Google recently launched a new <a href="https://grow.google/ai-essentials/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=ai-launch__geo--US&utm_content=kw">AI Essentials</a> curriculum under its <a href="https://grow.google/intl/ALL_th/samart-skills/">Samart</a><a href="https://grow.google/intl/ALL_th/samart-skills/"> Skills</a> program to equip learners with key skills and knowledge around AI tools and their applications. In addition, Google’s <a href="https://grow.google/intl/ALL_th/gemini-academy/">Gemini Academy</a>, an AI skilling program designed to help teachers use AI safely and elevate their creativity and productivity, has trained 20,000 Thai educators since 2023.</p> <p>To further support the country through its digital transformation, Google plans to further invest in and support AI skills development in Thailand, in partnership with local organizations, to empower 150,000 more Thais by 2026.</p> <p><strong>Improving representation of the Thai language in LLMs</strong></p> <p>Google continues its efforts with <a href="https://aisingapore.org/aiproducts/southeast-asian-languages-in-one-network-data-seald/">Project </a><a href="https://aisingapore.org/aiproducts/southeast-asian-languages-in-one-network-data-seald/">SEALD</a> (Southeast Asian Languages in One Network Data), a collaboration with <a href="https://aisingapore.org/">AI Singapore</a> that is committed to making AI more inclusive and effective for Southeast Asia. Advancing understanding of global languages is critical in bridging the digital divide. To ensure that advancements in AI are equitable from the outset, Google is collaborating with local Thai partners to open-source Thai language datasets for training large language models. This work will enable the development of more robust and culturally representative language models for the region.</p> <p><strong>About Google</strong><br /> Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
