Abstract

In Thailand’s fast-evolving digital economy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face growing pressure to stay competitive and connected to their customers. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more accessible, it offers SMEs new ways to strengthen brand identity and com-. This study examines how AI adoption supports rebranding among Thai SMEs, helping address issues like weak brand positioning, inconsistent messaging, and low customer engagement. Using survey data from 384 SME representatives—most (90.1%) from the café sector—the study analyzes how perceived usefulness, ease of use, compatibility, and cost savings influence intentions to adopt AI for branding. Regression results show that all four factors significantly affect AI adoption: ease of use (β = 0.240, p < 0.001), usefulness (β = 0.321), compatibility (β = 0.278), and cost savings (β = 0.212). These findings suggest SMEs are more likely to adopt AI when they see it as useful and a good fit for their operations. Although the model’s explanatory power is moderate (R2 = 0.213, p < 0.001), the results highlight that AI is not just a tech up-grade but a strategic necessity for Thai SMEs to strengthen decision-making, customer engagement, and brand resilience. Embracing AI is now critical for long-term sustainability.
