Not afraid of DeepSeek, FPT Chairman reveals 'ambition' to cover AI

At the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 15, Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT Corporation, shared about the development strategy for the next 3 years (2025-2027).

In particular, he focuses on 5 technologies that he believes will reshape and rearrange the world power order: "AI - Sales - Vehicles - Digital - Green (Artificial intelligence, semiconductors, digital automotive technology, digital transformation and green transformation), in which AI plays a central and leading role.

FPT is pursuing the philosophy of popular AI, with two goals: everyone learns AI and everyone does AI. Each FPTer is responsible for creating their own AI assistant.

FPT Chairman said that the corporation has brought the most modern equipment to Vietnam and Japan to build AI factories. He affirmed that when AI becomes popular and accessible to all classes, the demand for AI factories will increase sharply.

Concerned about competitors like DeepSeek, he said that the more people use AI, the greater the need for AI factories, meaning this model is creating opportunities for the group.

In the near future, Mr. Binh said that FPT will not stop at 2 AI factories because many corporations in the world are proposing to work with FPT on AI factories. Those factories can be built in Malaysia, Indonesia, even in Germany...
