Thailand's central bank governor said artificial intelligence adoption had not caused a rapid loss of bank jobs, and that branch closures would weigh on bank staffing more than AI, the Bangkok Post reported.

#### WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID

He said AI adoption in Thailand's banking sector was unlikely to have a rapid impact on employment. Instead, he said the decline in bank staff was primarily driven by branch closures.
