Global AI investment shifts focus beyond chips to power, cooling
Today 12:04Key points summarised by AI
Global AI investment is expanding beyond software and chips to critical infrastructure, including power, cooling, and data transfer systems, driven by the surging power demands of scaling AI systems.
This strategic shift presents a significant opportunity for Thailand to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in its tech supply chains, leveraging its competitive advantages in core infrastructure and downstream manufacturing.
New investment is focused on key technologies such as 800VDC power systems and optical connectivity solutions, with a projected surge in FDI for Thailand's semiconductor, printed circuit board (PCB), and advanced electronics sectors.
Thailand is solidifying its position in the global AI ecosystem by specializing in downstream manufacturing, final assembly, and high-tech processing, thereby upgrading its overall industrial base.
First deeds for “sor por kor” land to be distributed to farmers on Jan 15
Today 14:34Key points summarised by AI
Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao announced the distribution of new "land title deeds for agriculture" on January 15, upgrading existing "sor por kor 4-01" certificates.
This significant reform allows farmers to sell or mortgage their land under specific conditions, a major departure from previous restrictions that only permitted inheritance or specific bank mortgages.
The initiative aims to enhance farmers' quality of life by providing greater financial flexibility, complemented by the Land Reform Office's plans to develop infrastructure, install utilities, and offer occupational training and funding.
