The Responsibilities of Thai Children in The AI Era: Adapting, Learning, and Creating Value in A Globalized World

Abstract

This academic article presents the responsibilities of Thai children in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing adaptation, learning, and value creation in a globalized world. The study reveals that in the 21^st century, advancements in AI and globalization significantly impact the lifestyles of Thai youth, presenting both opportunities and challenges, particularly concerning issues of discipline, responsibility, and digital literacy, which affect harmonious coexistence in a digital society. The basic education curriculum designates “responsibility” as a necessary trait for living in modern society. While AI offers opportunities for personalized learning and effective classroom management, it also poses ethical risks, such as algorithmic bias and violations of privacy. Therefore, it is essential for youth to develop critical judgment, ethical standards, and informed skills in utilizing AI. The article proposes strategies for cultivating responsibility among youth through the integration of digital skills, critical thinking, and AI literacy, utilizing learner-centered activities, including case study analysis and community-benefiting projects. Recommendations highlight the importance of fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility in technology use to ensure that Thai youth grow into quality digital citizens who actively contribute to the sustainable development of Thai society in the era of globalization.
