Associate Professor Dr Juthamas Tangsantikul, our programme director, was invited as one of the guest speakers for the Panel Discussion together with Saranont Limpananont (Studio Aeroplane) and Dr Atthaves Borriraklert (KMITL), in the topic of “Humans and AI: Human Touch in the Age of the Machine”. The panel is part of “KBTG Techtopia: Across the AI Verse” event which was held on September 1st-2nd, 2023.

Juthamas proposes that we ask critical questions when it comes to imagining the future. Using the drawings of Jean-Marc Côté and other past future predictions as reference points, she encourages us to value not only the “outcomes” but also the “process” of gaining knowledge and experiences. By addressing the quality of 'being hopeful' as a unique characteristic of humans, Juthamas hopes AI technology will better the future for all.
