The dynamic transformation of these economic sectors is not only a driver for AI development but also a source of massive data - a crucial “input material” for AI. However, alongside these potential, the development of AI in Vietnam still faces many challenges. Several key pillars need to be focused on during this phase, including building a national AI data infrastructure and computing system, completing the legal framework and specialised policies, and creating a favourable environment for AI research, development, and application. It also emphasises the importance of building and developing a high-quality workforce, promoting AI applications in various socio-economic sectors, and establishing national AI research and development centres. The establishment of national AI research and development centres, where businesses can lease facilities and access large data resources, is also an idea worthy of implementation.
