BANGKOK — Chulalongkorn University has unveiled ChulaGENIE, a new AI chatbot developed in partnership with Google Cloud, as part of its strategy to prepare for AI-driven changes in the job market.
Professor Dr. Wilert Phuriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, revealed that amidst the transformation of labor markets driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the university is proactively preparing for the future.
Chulalongkorn has partnered with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to present the Future of Jobs 2025 report, offering strategies to address changes in skills and careers expected between 2025 and 2030.
In addition, the university has collaborated with Google Cloud to develop an innovative Generative AI platform named ChulaGENIE, similar to ChatGPT. This platform aims to support the university’s staff and faculty, with an initial trial launched on January 6.
Dr. Wilert highlighted that ChulaGENIE stands out from other AI platforms as it not only answers questions but also provides relevant recommendations. Currently, the platform is available exclusively to Chulalongkorn’s community. However, in the next 2-3 months, the university plans to expand access to a broader group while prioritizing user authentication and data security.
Looking ahead, the university aims to make ChulaGENIE accessible to the general public and envisions launching it as a public service by 2025. The initiative underscores the potential for further development of the platform to contribute to sustainable technological advancements.
“Thailand must go beyond merely adopting AI as users. We need to become owners and developers of our own technologies to achieve holistic sustainability and align with global trends in the future,” Professor Dr. Wilert concluded.
