READ & LEARN Transforming the World with AI: Moodeng, Dr. Pat, and Bridging Nature to the Future
AI is more than just technology—it’s a transformative force shaping the future. Discover the groundbreaking Moodeng AI Challenge and gain inspiration from Dr. Pat Pataranutaporn.
Doraemon: A Blueprint for Inspiration
Reflecting on his childhood, Dr. Pat shared how the cartoon Doraemon played a pivotal role in sparking his passion for technology. To him, Doraemon is the perfect example of human-AI interaction, where technology doesn’t replace humans but empowers them to become better and learn more effectively.
This inspiration has driven many of his impactful research projects, including:
- Wearable Reasoner: A device that enhances human critical thinking capabilities.
- Personalized Virtual Characters: Virtual characters designed to inspire and motivate learning.
- Future You: A technology that helps individuals visualize their future selves and set clear life goals.
Moodeng: The Catalyst for the Moodeng AI Challenge
Who would have thought that “Moodeng,” a lovable pygmy hippo from Khao Kheow Open Zoo, would inspire an innovative project like the Moodeng AI Challenge? To Dr. Pat, Moodeng is more than just a small animal that brings joy to people around the world—she’s a "symbol" of the connection between humans, the environment, and technology.
“When humans better understand animals, they start to care more about nature,” Dr. Pat explained. The essence of this project isn’t just about creating intelligent AI but about using AI as a bridge to foster meaningful interactions between humans and other living beings on Earth. It’s about making technology a tool that raises awareness of the environment around us.

Sustainable AI: Where Technology and Collaboration Drive the Future
From Dr. Pat's perspective, the true measure of good AI isn’t about “what it can do” but rather “what it does to humans.” He emphasized, “AI should be a tool that helps humans grow, understand themselves, and create a better world.” This vision is deeply embedded in all his projects, which aim to develop technology that enhances human potential and generates positive impact across various dimensions.
However, developing sustainable and impactful AI requires serious commitment from governments. “AI takes time, understanding, and dedication,” Dr. Pat noted. While Thailand has started embracing AI, it still lacks a clear direction and consistent collaboration needed to empower researchers and developers to create innovations that address future challenges.
Words of Wisdom: Learn and Grow at Your Own Pace
Dr. Pat offered simple yet profound advice to the next generation of researchers and innovators: “Don’t pressure yourself to succeed too quickly. Everyone has their own rhythm, like flowers blooming at different times.”
He also encouraged embracing failure and viewing mistakes as opportunities for growth. “With a growth mindset, you’ll be kinder to yourself and find more joy in the process of learning.”
Opportunities to Create: It All Starts Here
Projects like the Moodeng AI Challenge 2025 and the groundbreaking research by Dr. Pat Pataranutaporn prove that AI is more than just a technological tool—it’s a transformative force that helps us understand ourselves, connect with nature, and change the world for the better.
