The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on the labour market, higher education, and students’ choices of academic disciplines and careers.

From July 17 to 19, 2026, the Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge 2026 will take place in Da Nang, promising to bring together a large number of experts, start-ups, managers and other participants from Viet Nam and abroad.

Ambassador Mai Phan Dung, Permanent Representative of Viet Nam to the United Nations Office in Geneva, has affirmed Viet Nam's strong support for a people-centred approach to the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) at the plenary discussion of the 114th session of the International Labour Conference (ILC114) of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on June 8.

At the 114th International Labour Conference organised by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland, delegations representing workers, employers and member states discussed many important issues shaping the world of work. The ILO called for the promotion of lifelong learning to respond to the risk of job losses to artificial intelligence (AI).

Amid the wave of artificial intelligence (AI), green transition, and population ageing that is changing the global employment structure, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has warned that without stronger investment in lifelong learning, millions of workers risk being left behind in their own economies.

Viet Nam is facing a significant shortage of semiconductor engineers as the industry expands rapidly, requiring stronger linkages between education, businesses, and international partners to develop its workforce.

Among the 20 categories of national databases recently promulgated by the government are the electronic identity database and the national database on artificial intelligence (AI).

In recent years, many educational institutions have recognised artificial intelligence (AI) as an inevitable trend in education and digital transformation. To date, general education institutions have developed relatively effective plans to incorporate AI education, contributing to the development of students’ learning capacity, thinking skills and experiential learning.

Amid the strong wave of digital transformation sweeping the globe, Viet Nam’s early move to develop and adopt a law on artificial intelligence (AI) is not merely an institutional refinement. It is also a strategic decision aimed at expanding the development space for the digital economy.

Technology is gradually transforming the face of modern sport, presenting Vietnamese sport with major opportunities, alongside real challenges, to fully harness scientific advances that can lift performance and help athletes reach new heights.

In today's life, physical security plays an increasingly important role. A physical security system integrated with multi-system data and artificial intelligence (AI) technology application, capable of automating response processes, will help prevent and proactively control external threats effectively, ensuring the safe operation of socio-economic activities.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently released a report showing that the global labour market has undergone significant upheaval in recent years and is set to change even more rapidly.

The Au Lac Grand Prize has been launched to recognise artificial intelligence (AI) products and solutions developed and mastered by Vietnamese innovators that deliver strong and lasting socio-economic impact.

Legislative thinking needs to shift from a mindset of “pre-approval” and “absolute safety” towards proactively accepting risks in a controlled manner; stepping up the application of science and technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in law-making. These ideas have attracted considerable attention from experts and the public.

In the context of rapid digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important driver of innovation in education and training. Educational institutions, especially higher education institutions, need to intensify reform and effectively harness AI to improve training quality in the new context.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched the Regional Human Development Report entitled “The next great polarisation: why artificial intelligence (AI) could widen inequality between countries” on December 2, in Ha Noi, warning that AI could increase global inequality; however Viet Nam is preparing to seize emerging opportunities.

Viet Nam attaches great importance to its traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Belarus and wishes to further advance bilateal ties, Party General Secretary To Lam told visiting State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Grigorievich Volfovich on December 3.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is developing rapidly and has become a key factor shaping the global technology landscape. As the AI craze intensifies with no sign of slowing down, the tech world is sparking a debate: whether the AI market is becoming overvalued and showing signs of an emerging bubble.

The Science and Technology Dialogue Forum, a flagship event within the Australia–Viet Nam TechFest series hosted by the Vietnamese Australian Scholars and Experts Association (VASEA), was recently held at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), bringing together senior leaders, innovators, and industry partners from both countries to strengthen cooperation in science, technology, and innovation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a data-analysis tool but is becoming an indispensable component of public governance.
