HANOI (Xinhua): Vietnam has set its sights on universalising artificial intelligence (AI) and becoming one of the top three South-East Asian countries leading in AI by 2030.
This is according to the media statement by the national strategy on AI being developed by the government.
Ho Duc Thang, deputy head of the National Digital Transformation Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said the strategy aims to make AI accessible to everyone, from students in remote mountainous areas to entrepreneurs in major urban centers, Vietnam News Agency reported on Monday.
AI will be present in all aspects of social life, from helping doctors make quicker diagnoses, supporting teachers in better instruction, to improving the accuracy of weather forecasts, he said.
The strategy also aims to develop a network of around 1,000 top-tier AI experts and approximately 50,000 AI engineers across the country over the next five years. - Xinhua
