Thai PM makes AI video appeal to Chinese tourists

Thailand on Wednesday posted an AI-generated video of its Prime Minister speaking in Mandarin, encouraging Chinese tourists to visit the kingdom.

In the clip made by generative artificial intelligence, posted to the government's Facebook page, a likeness of Paetongtarn Shinawatra appears speaking in fluent Mandarin. Thailand has been seeking to quell safety concerns among potential Chinese tourists ahead of the Lunar New Year travel period.
