New B200m data system to bolster fight against online fraud
Bangkok Post
|June 10, 2025
The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) will develop a centralised data management system for the Anti Online Scam Operation Center (AOC) to enhance its operations.
According to DES Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong, the centralised system will be driven by artificial intelligence (AI).
The system is set to be completed in the third quarter of 2026 with a budget of 200 million baht. The budget allocation is expected to take place this month.
Mr Prasert said that thanks to the AOC, Thailand's ecosystem for preventing online fraud has been considerably improved.
The country also introduced an amended version of the emergency decree on measures to prevent technology crime in April.
The core of the law requires banks and telecom operators to share responsibility when it comes to the damage faced by a customer caused by tech crime if banks and telecom operators fail to comply with the law.
"Damage caused by scams and call centre gangs have declined month by month due to improvements in the prevention ecosystem," Mr Prasert said.
