Prof. Dr. Dang Nguyen Anh, Vice President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, said that the explosive development of the Internet and the fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0) has brought about inventions that completely change and challenging society and people to operate on hyper-automated and hyper-connected artificial intelligence platforms.
Currently, the world has produced robots that can think like humans with a nervous system as part of the brain that can hear, see, move and use our language.
However, there are still many issues about artificial intelligence that we do not fully understand or disagree with. It is difficult to confirm or predict the social impacts or the impacts on the ethical category in the application of artificial intelligence.
