More than 400 delegates and scientists from 15 countries and territories are attending the fifth International Conference on Material, Machines, and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS2026), which opened at the Petrovietnam University (PVU) in Ba Ria ward, Ho Chi Minh City, on November 6.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau has asked for urgent action to remove bottlenecks in education data connectivity and verification, accelerate digital transformation, and expand the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning during the 2026-2027 academic year.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is placing new demands on higher education — from teaching and governance to cooperation with businesses — to develop a workforce equipped with professional expertise, critical thinking skills and the ability to adapt to changes in the labour market.

Science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation and green transition are emerging as new drivers of economic growth amid global challenges, speakers told a high-level plenary session of the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on October 28.

The Vietnamese Embassy in China, in coordination with the China Overseas Development Association (CODA), held a seminar on October 27 to discuss the promotion of Viet Nam-China investment, trade and economic cooperation.

Students can read textbooks to learn that artificial intelligence (AI) learns from data, or ask a chatbot a question and receive an answer within seconds. But to truly understand how machines learn, why they can make mistakes, how their results may affect people and what responsibilities humans bear when using technology, students need opportunities to experiment for themselves.

The rapid advancement of science and technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), is creating enormous opportunities for countries to accelerate socio-economic growth, but also widening development gaps and exacerbating inequality worldwide.

Amid a world economy beset by a series of challenges, the boom in investment in artificial intelligence (AI) has become a rare “bright spot”, providing a strong boost to global trade. However, as the AI “fever” continues to heat up, economies are also facing a number of major questions.

The Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources (MOTIR) was urged to share practical lessons from its nuclear sector with Viet Nam, including institutional and policy frameworks governing the roles of policymaking and regulatory agencies, advanced nuclear power technology, experience in building a domestic nuclear supply chain, and long-term workforce training through specialised courses, hands-on work and staff exchanges.

In just a few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has moved beyond being a new technology to become a field that is attracting a powerful wave of investment and reshaping the global economy.

The implementation of the Law on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public service should begin with specific, practical tasks whose effectiveness can be measured, while ensuring data security, risk control and adherence to the principle that AI should only support, not replace, the responsibilities of officials and civil servants.

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung visited a SK Telecom-operated artificial intelligence (AI) data centre in Seoul on September 7, within the framework of National Assembly President Tran Thanh Man's official visit to the Republic of Korea (RoK).

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung has signed a decision approving Viet Nam’s national strategy on artificial intelligence (AI) through 2030, with a vision to 2045, aiming to make AI a key strategic driver of productivity, innovation, governance and economic competitiveness.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is placing higher education before new requirements for restructuring training programmes, renewing teaching and learning methods, scientific research and university governance. In this context, higher education institutions, while proactively improving capacity for both lecturers and learners, need to renew the way technology is applied in an effective, safe and responsible manner.

Technology has opened up unprecedented possibilities to support human creativity in the arts. Yet arts education also encounters the critical challenge of cultivating a cultural foundation for younger generations amid the risk that modern devices and artificial intelligence (AI) threaten to exert disproportionate influence.

The Government values the knowledge, experience and contributions of the Vietnamese community abroad and is committed to creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese scientists and experts overseas to contribute to the country’s development, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung has said.

With the theme “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism”, World Tourism Day 2026 reflects one of the defining transformations of our time.

The Vietnamese Ministry of Justice will host the ASEAN Law Forum 2026 on August 18–19, with a focus on applying artificial intelligence (AI) to law-making and law enforcement in the digital era.

On July 31, the Ha Noi Department of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Ha Noi Small and Medium Enterprises Association (HANOISME), held a forum on harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) and e-commerce to achieve double-digit growth.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into everyday life, from education and healthcare to media and public administration, serving as a powerful tool to improve productivity and the quality of services. However, alongside its significant benefits, AI also raises important questions about responsibility, transparency, privacy, fairness, and the ethical boundaries surrounding its development and application.
