Speaking at the report announcement, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc emphasized that GenAI is creating unprecedented breakthroughs, opening up limitless possibilities for humanity. To date, AI technology has been applied to all areas of life, from healthcare, education, to production and agriculture.
In Vietnam, the Government is well aware of the importance of AI and has issued many policies to promote AI research, development and application. In its role as an advisory body, the Ministry of Planning and Investment has submitted to the Prime Minister the “Project on Human Resource Development for the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a Vision to 2050”.
One of the important contents of the project is that by 2030, Vietnam will have at least 5,000 engineers or higher with in-depth expertise in AI to serve the semiconductor industry. On that basis, the Ministry has assigned NIC to coordinate with domestic and international partners and experts to research and build an AI Training, Research and Application Center.
The center's activities are to serve business incubation, support research, application and in-depth training. By 2030, the center aims to train 7,000 AI experts according to international standards and incubate about 500 AI startups.
“These are very proactive steps to realize the goal of Vietnam soon becoming a center for innovation, developing AI solutions and applications in the ASEAN region and the world,” said the Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment.
At the event, three pioneering GenAI startups in Vietnam introduced innovative applications across multiple industries. Specifically, Reforged Labs shared GenAI solutions for game marketers, Lex Engine with GenAI-enabled tools for the legal industry, and Laka.AI is a GenAI-enabled travel planning tool.
