Accelerating digital transformation

Behind this technological revolution is AI and Robots Ventures Co (ARV), a subsidiary of the Thai Petroleum Corporation (PTT), with its advanced data analytics software solution called Bedrock. Bedrock, developed by Bedrock Analytics Co - a subsidiary of ARV - is a digital data platform designed to help government agencies manage data more effectively and promote urban development.

Mr. Thanakorn Eamsakul, Senior Business Development Manager at Bedrock Analytics Co, shared that the platform is helping to significantly speed up the tax collection process. Normally, it takes more than 4 months for government agencies to calculate and collect taxes in an area; however, thanks to Bedrock's AI technology, this work now takes only a few hours.

The acceleration comes from the ability to analyze data from on-site smart cameras and satellite imagery from the Geospatial and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA). According to Thanakorn, Bedrock can easily analyze store signs and quickly calculate taxes based on this information. This helps increase tax revenue, especially from store owners who have never paid taxes before. As a result, local administrative agencies using Bedrock have recorded a 17% increase in tax revenue per year, a jump from the previous figure of 4.7%.

In addition, Bedrock is also a powerful tool in urban planning, helping the government identify areas at high risk of natural disasters. Thanks to that, the government can issue timely warnings, help people prepare and minimize damage.

Bedrock’s real-time data analytics capabilities enable the integration of information from multiple sources, creating detailed risk maps and supporting more effective disaster response strategies. Beyond taxation and disaster prevention, Bedrock has broad potential for application in areas such as public utilities, telecommunications services and healthcare.

The platform simplifies complex processes, optimizes the work of local government agencies, and improves the quality of public services. For example, in the healthcare sector, Bedrock can support data analytics to optimize hospital management; or in telecommunications, it helps improve network performance and customer service.

ARV CEO Milin Jeerapatsa stressed that despite the sluggish economy , the demand for AI, data analytics and robotic systems remains strong. This technology not only improves work efficiency but also opens up opportunities for innovation in state management. He affirmed that Bedrock and other ARV AI solutions are not intended to replace humans but to support, improve productivity and bring sustainable value to society.

However, the application of AI and Bedrock also poses some challenges. Data security and privacy are major concerns when handling sensitive information such as tax data or personal information. "AI represents the second era of digital transformation. However, it needs to be used cautiously with responsible governance," said Sak Segkhoonthod, senior advisor of the AI Governance Center (AIGC) under ETDA, at a workshop on AI governance.
