Viet Nam possesses significant advantages and strong potential to emerge as a global centre for artificial intelligence (AI), according to billionaire Eric Schmidt, former Chairman and CEO of Google and former Chairman of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI).

The recognition under HCI+ 2026 affirms Viet Nam’s efforts to place people at the centre of its development strategy, improve education and healthcare quality, strengthen links between training and the labour market, and promote inclusive and sustainable growth.
