GFCS Unveils New Brand to Drive Smart Security
The new brand design embraces the symbolic shield emblem of the Guardforce AI Group, embodying reliability, innovation, and collaboration. More than visual—the shift reflects GFCS's expanding capabilities across smart security technologies, automation, and integrated systems that meet the needs of a fast-changing economy. No longer limited to conventional cash logistics, the company now supports a wide spectrum of asset management services—from jewellery and electronics to sensitive corporate documents.
Olivia Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of Guardforce AI, emphasised the significance of this transformation, stating that it merges over 40 years of operational expertise with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, robotics, and biometric authentication technologies. She noted that the goal is to create smarter, safer, and more adaptable services that empower clients to operate with enhanced speed and precision. 'Today's rebranding is not just about a logo change; it's about embracing transformation while honouring our legacy. We are transforming from manpower-base security company into a high-tech solutions company'.
Central to GFCS's new offering are its Smart Cash and Smart Retail solutions, which embody the company's flagship innovations. Smart Cash provides financial institutions and retailers with advanced capabilities such as predictive cash flow analytics and automated reconciliation, optimising liquidity and security. While Smart Retail integrates AI and IoT technologies to offer real-time asset tracking and performance analytics, streamlining operations and enabling better customer engagement.
These innovations serve as the foundation for GFCS's three strategic transformations: 'Beyond Just Cash,' 'Beyond Logistics,' and 'Beyond Services.' The company now manages not only currency but also high-value assets like jewellery, electronics, and sensitive documents. It's shifting from basic transport to smart, closed-loop systems equipped with predictive analytics, smart safes, and real-time monitoring. Through AI, IoT, and biometrics, GFCS is evolving into a full-scale solution provider—developing intelligent infrastructure in partnership with Guardforce AI's global R&D.
Kelvin Chu, Managing Director of GFCS Thailand, reiterated that while the company's legacy rests on reliability and trust, its future will be defined by agility, intelligence, and growth. 'GFCS's transformation into 'Beyond Cash' reflects our dedication to evolving alongside our clients. This is not a departure from our roots but an elevation of our service to the new heights.'
The 'Beyond Cash' event gathered top executives, technology partners, and media to commemorate this turning point and explore the company's enhanced capabilities. The event concluded with a shared vision: to reshape asset management in Thailand using innovation as the catalyst. GFCS's rebranding positions it at the forefront of the secure services industry, ready to meet the demands of a rapidly digitalizing market; showing confidence and commitment in future business development.

B25 billion approved for AI development
The National Artificial Intelligence Committee has approved a budget framework calling for a government investment of at least 25 billion baht to drive AI development in Thailand over the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years. The committee's meeting on Wednesday focused on driving forward the National AI Programme as a strategic mechanism to enhance competitiveness and improve economic and social conditions and quality of life, said Prasert Jantararuangtong, the Digital Economy and Society minister. In addition to a budget framework, the committee approved plans to foster collaboration between government agencies and private enterprises in the form of AI consortiums. To accelerate AI integration across sectors, nine AI Centres of Excellence (CoE) will be established to serve as hubs for expertise and innovation: AI Innovation Centre for Education Creative Industry Innovation Centre AI Agricultural Innovation Centre AI for Tourism Excellence Centre AI Health and Wellness Centre AI Manufacturing Excellence Centre Thai Language Large Model Consortium Government AI Processing Centre, and AI Product Standards and Competency Testing Centre. Additionally, members agreed in principle to establish a tenth centre to focus on Safety and Security. Each centre will be tasked with preparing sub-sector action plans covering both readiness and implementation, to be completed by September 2025. Chai Wutiwiwatchai, executive director of the National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (Nectec), said the next meeting would assign specific agencies to lead designated areas and receive corresponding budgets. Out of the total budget of 25 billion baht, 6 billion will be allocated for AI workforce development, 5 billion for establishing the centres of excellence, and another 2 billion baht for setting up the National Data Bank. Nectec has capabilities across the CoEs, including those focused on medical applications, education, AI product standards and competency testing, and computing power infrastructure. The medical CoE will support data-sharing initiatives and streamline the approval process with the Food and Drug Administration for the use of AI-powered medical devices. In education, it is essential to introduce AI curricula across all levels — schools, universities and vocational institutions — to build foundational knowledge and skills, the committee said.

AI models win gold at global maths contest
Google and OpenAI said their artificial-intelligence models won gold medals at a global mathematics competition, signalling a breakthrough in capabilities in the race to build systems that can rival human intelligence. But neither model scored full marks — unlike five young humans at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), a prestigious annual competition where participants must be under 20 years old. The results marked the first time that AI systems crossed the gold-medal scoring threshold at the contest held annually for high-school students. Five Thais competed in the event that concluded on Saturday in Queensland, Australia, with one entrant — Patanasang Pinijpichitkul — winning gold with a score of 95.87%. Both the Google and OpenAI models solved five out of the six problems, achieving the result using general-purpose 'reasoning' models that processed mathematical concepts using natural language, in contrast to the previous approaches used by AI firms. While Google DeepMind worked with the IMO to have its models graded and certified, OpenAI did not officially enter the competition. The latter said its models achieved a gold medal-worthy score, citing grades by three external IMO medalists. Unlike previous AI attempts that relied on formal languages and lengthy computation, Google said its approach this year operated entirely in natural language and solved the problems within the official 4.5-hour time limit. The achievement suggests AI is less than a year away from being used by mathematicians to crack unsolved research problems at the frontier of the field, according to Junehyuk Jung, a professor at Brown University and visiting researcher at the DeepMind AI unit. 'I think the moment we can solve hard reasoning problems in natural language will enable the potential for collaboration between AI and mathematicians,' Jung told Reuters. OpenAI said its breakthrough was achieved with a new experimental model centred on massively scaling up 'test-time compute'. This was done by both allowing the model to 'think' for longer periods and deploying parallel computing power to run numerous lines of reasoning simultaneously, according to Noam Brown, a researcher at OpenAI. Brown declined to say how much in computing power it cost OpenAI, but called it 'very expensive'. To OpenAI researchers, it is another clear sign that AI models can command extensive reasoning capabilities that could expand into other areas beyond math. The optimism is shared by Google researchers, who believe AI models' capabilities can apply to research quandaries in other fields such as physics, said Jung, who won an IMO gold medal as a student in 2003.
