The Culture Ministry is concerned about young people using the Simsimi artificial intelligence conversation program as it uses impolite and rude words.
Culture Surveillance Bureau chief Ladda Thangsupachai said on Thursday the Simsimi application is popular among smartphone users at this time and many swear words have been used in the chatting bot.
Simsimi was created by a South Korean developer for the purpose of language learning but many app users in Thailand had gone too far, Ms Ladda said.
She said words that are impolite and profane can be commonly found in the Thai language version. In South Korea, inappropriate words are screened, unlike Thailand.
"The number of Simsimi users in Thailand is still limited as they need to have smartphones.
"Regarding technology, users have to be immune and know what is appropriate or inappropriate because technology can be harmful if it is being used inappropriately," said the culture official.
