Recently, at the Vietnam Artificial Intelligence Festival organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, many AI products were introduced, such as: ultrasound image processing, fetal prediction images, specialized chatbots to support businesses, and computer vision products...
The Ministry of Science and Technology stated that AI is contributing to improving labor productivity and quality of life. This technology has been deployed in many important fields such as defense, security, agriculture, construction, finance, etc. In particular, a number of domestic technology corporations have invested in research and development of AI based on specific data and knowledge, to meet the needs of Vietnamese people.
Despite initial achievements, AI development in Vietnam still faces many difficulties. One of the major challenges is the shortage of high-quality human resources.
Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Ngoc Minh - RMIT University believes that there needs to be cooperation between educational institutions and businesses to develop specialized training programs on AI. Currently, the number of AI experts and engineers is still small and there is no close connection in large national projects.
In addition, the current information technology and telecommunications infrastructure is not synchronized, affecting the ability to deploy large-scale AI solutions. Many technology companies want to use modern computer systems to train new generation AI models. However, they are having to rent machines from abroad at high costs and at the risk of revealing confidential information. Therefore, promoting policies from the State are essential to take advantage of infrastructure resources to serve AI development.
Although the number of businesses applying AI is increasing, the rate is still low and mainly applied in only a few small stages. This is due to the limitations of awareness, finance and infrastructure of businesses. For AI to bring real value, it needs to be fully integrated into business operations. AI implementation depends not only on technology and business readiness but also on the business environment and legal framework.

Recognizing the important role of AI in socio-economic development, the Party and Government have issued many mechanisms and policies to promote AI research and application. Decision No. 127/QD-TTg dated January 26, 2021 on the “National Strategy on Research, Development and Application of Artificial Intelligence to 2030” is one of the important legal documents. This strategy sets specific goals to promote AI to become a key technology field of Vietnam in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution.
Many opinions suggest that it is necessary to concretize this Strategy into mechanisms, policies and regulations to ensure a full legal corridor for AI development and application, including product pricing, technology procurement bidding, and responsible AI development. AI is not only an advantage for developed countries but also an opportunity for developing countries to rise up, including Vietnam.
Deputy General Director of Misa Joint Stock Company Le Hong Quang said that in the coming time, Misa's products and solutions will integrate AI with the criteria of easy access and cost savings, to help businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, improve their competitiveness and contribute to economic development.
One of the leading enterprises in AI development and application in Vietnam, FPT Corporation has also invested in computing infrastructure and AI model training, especially in the context of applying generative technology that requires large computing capacity.
Professor Vu Ha Van - Director of Science at VinBigdata (Vingroup), emphasized the need to master generative AI applications to take advantage of Vietnamese-specific data that foreign applications have difficulty accessing.
The Ministry of Science and Technology is committed to promoting connectivity to build a strong AI ecosystem, contributing to socio-economic development and improving productivity and quality of life in Vietnam.
