Currently, Thai society faces a major challenge from the evolving nature of cybercrime. Criminals are no longer relying on basic tricks but are employing advanced technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), as tools for committing crimes. These include creating sophisticated fake news, deepfakes (voice and facial impersonation) for financial fraud, online threats, and the misuse of personal information for illegal purposes.

These threats have a wide-ranging direct impact, affecting the safety of people's lives and property, undermining confidence in the digital economy, and damaging the overall social structure.

The Safe and Creative Media Development Fund and its partners recognize the urgent need to enhance communication for online warning systems. Therefore, they have developed the Cyber ​​Booster Podcasting 2026 project under the concept of Digital Resilience, aiming to build digital immunity so individuals can protect themselves from online threats and effectively cope with unforeseen events. This encompasses awareness, prevention, and response, ensuring that citizens not only 'know' but also possess the 'skills' to promptly respond, verify, and protect themselves.

A highlight of this year's project is the presentation of content through six video podcasts, a popular media format that effectively explains complex issues in an easy-to-understand way. All content is designed to align with the context of emerging threats in the AI ​​era, covering the three most important key issues today:

1. Building immunity against financial fraud: An in-depth look at online transaction scams and how to protect your bank accounts.
2. Dealing with Fraud: Recognizing Tricks to Scams, Threats, and Data Theft
3. Understanding the Dangers of AI Fake News: Techniques for Verifying False Information Created by AI and Using Media Critically.

The ultimate goal of this knowledge resource is to reduce risk and minimize potential harm to the public, aiming to empower viewers with practical application of the knowledge. This includes self-protection, seeking assistance from government agencies, and sharing accurate information with those around them, ultimately contributing to the creation of a safe, trustworthy, and sustainable digital society.

The unique aspect of Cyber ​​Booster Podcasting 2026 is that it serves as a central platform bringing together real experts from all sectors—including law enforcement, financial regulators, and the media—to share their experiences and knowledge. This ensures the public receives the most in-depth, comprehensive, and reliable information. We are honored to have distinguished speakers including:

The gathering of Cyber ​​Boosters reflects a commitment to integrating collaboration between government agencies, the media, and network partners to systematically and continuously drive cybersecurity communication for the second year. Building on the success of the Cyber ​​Booster #BuildingImmunityAgainstCyberThreats project, the program has been adapted with more intensive, concise, and focused content specifically on AI to keep pace with the changing global landscape. It continues to receive primary support from the Safe and Creative Media Development Fund.
