Bangkok: US chip giant Nvidia said Tuesday it would work with the Thai government to develop "world-class AI infrastructure" in the kingdom.

CEO and founder of the leading semiconductor design business Jensen Huang met with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra while on a visit to Bangkok, and the two agreed to deepen cooperation on artificial intelligence.

"Nvidia is ready to work with the Thai government to develop world-class AI infrastructure and to share best practices and technical expertise to support Thailand's AI projects," a statement released by the Thai government said.

It added the company had agreed to support over 50 tech startups and invest in AI training at universities.

But Nvidia did not announce any major investments like other tech giants, such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, which have invested billions in the kingdom in the past few years.
