Recently, Mr. Sundaram Iyer, Head of Banpu Academy, Banpu Public Company Limited, shared Banpu’s approaches to preparing employees across all levels of the organization — from operational staff to senior management — to confidently adopt and apply AI in the workplace.
Speaking at Transform Talent 2026 Thailand, organized by Human Resources Online, under the topic “From Anxiety to Agility: Accelerating Workforce Readiness by Reducing the AI Adoption Gap”, he highlighted that Banpu views AI as a great augmenter of human cognitive capabilities, which leads to improved decision-making, enhanced business agility and resilience. He emphasized that building an AI-ready workforce is much more than technical training; it involves reducing fear and hesitation around adopting AI while fostering a culture of continuous learning, critical thinking, and openness to change.
During the session, he also shared Banpu’s playbook for alleviating AI anxiety by setting clear direction, promoting use-case-driven AI adoption, rolling out AI literacy programs across all levels and functions, and supporting employees in becoming self-directed AI integrators and business translators driving the application of AI in their work domains. These approaches reflect Banpu’s commitment to strengthening workforce readiness and advancing its transformation to a responsible, technology-driven energy company.
