"The AI future must leave no one behind," Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai on Friday.

One of the most profound technological transformations is unfolding right now, he said, and cautioned that technological progress does not automatically become human progress. That's why Thailand commends China and President Xi Jinping for having the foresight to convene the meeting and for advancing international cooperation on AI governance.
