In recent years, Viet Nam has been severely affected by natural disasters and climate change. Phenomena such as storms, floods, droughts, and landslides have been occurring frequently. Against this backdrop, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool to enhance the effectiveness of disaster forecasting, minimise damage, and support timely response.

The “AI Viet Nam Academy” model should be quickly replicated across the country, requested Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung while attending the launch ceremony of the “AI Viet Nam Academy” programme at the Ha Noi University of Science and Technology (HUST) on the morning of August 21.

A Viet Nam summer school of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (VSAIQC) opened in Gia Lai province on August 18, bringing together nearly 50 scientists, young researchers, doctoral candidates, and students from 10 countries and territories.

Viet Nam has made a significant leap on the global artificial intelligence (AI) map, ranking sixth out of 40 countries in the World AI Index 2025, recently released by the Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research (WIN).

As part of the ongoing 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (AMM-58) and related meetings, Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son on July 10 attended ASEAN+1 foreign ministers’ meetings with Japan, Russia, the Republic of Korea (RoK), and the US, as well as the ASEAN+3 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (with Japan, China, and the RoK).

A seminar entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Cybersecurity – Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Transformation’ was held on July 9, bringing together over 100 technology experts, and leaders from governmental agencies, businesses, and IT units.

As an active and responsible member of the international community, Vietnam stands ready to contribute to multilateral mechanisms in order to promote cooperation, enhance connectivity, and address shared challenges towards building a fairer and more sustainable world, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has said.

Amid the increasingly deep digital transformation wave, the publishing industry is expected to enter a breakthrough era with strong support from artificial intelligence (AI). At present, AI has been integrated into every stage of the publishing chain: from content creation, editing, printing, to e-book and audiobook distribution, as well as analysing readers’ preferences.

In order to operate, artificial intelligence (AI) needs a “brain” called an AI model - a system of mathematical models and algorithms trained on huge amounts of data. This model allows the machine to learn rules, analyse information, make predictions, or create new content.

The Government has established the National Data Development Fund, with an initial capital of 1 trillion VND (38.4 billion USD), to strengthen digital infrastructure and promote data governance.

Over the past six months, the National Assembly (NA) has made progress in implementing a digital parliament model and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its operations, achieving encouraging initial results, said Chairman Tran Thanh Man while chairing a conference on the topic in Ha Noi on June 25.

National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man has urged the education sector to concentrate on developing a contingent of highly qualified lecturers and scientists capable of teaching core subjects in basic sciences, engineering, and key technologies.
