The goal to developed EEC is not only about infrastructure, regulations or business benefits but also about people wellbeing.

We need intelligence system to synthesized data, make it easier to analyzed effects of EEC. 

“GISTDA will develop intelligence policy platform, combined human and artificial intelligence to enhance or replaced old method which is meetings. This system not only digest and synthesized data but also make people look at all sides more carefully. This system will play role to support planning and decision for actionable plan, GISTDA and EEC committee want to make Actionable Intelligence Platform or AIP platform for EEC. For these reasons is why we need Thailand 4.0 development plan.”

Dr.Anon also added that AIP platform is a innovation platform that need to be develop by ourselves. We need to rely on some foreign technology at first but it will be a collaboration between countries. Especially for some technology that is military intelligence, we will utilize it to analyzed and synthesized data. The system will be integrated into our system in 6 months and hope to fully replaced old method within 2 years.
