CMKL University conducted a public workshop on AI-powered scams and digital safety at Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX 2026), held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok.

Led by Dr. Natnatee Dokmai of CMKL University, the workshop, titled “Stay Ahead of AI Scams: Protect Yourself from Deepfakes and Online Fraud,” addressed the growing risks associated with the misuse of artificial intelligence in online fraud.

Conducted in Thai, the session was designed for participants of different ages, with particular attention to older adults who may be less familiar with emerging forms of digital deception.

The workshop examined how scammers use AI-generated voices, deepfake videos, and impersonation messages to make fraudulent communications appear convincing. Through practical examples, participants learned to identify warning signs, assess suspicious requests, and take precautions before sharing personal information or transferring money.

A central focus of the session was the importance of verifying information rather than relying solely on what appears to be a familiar voice, face, or message. Participants were also encouraged to share these practices with family members to help strengthen awareness of online fraud within their communities.

The workshop formed part of CMKL University’s public engagement activities at SX 2026, bringing technical knowledge about emerging AI risks into discussions relevant to everyday digital safety.
