AI is an inevitable choice for businesses.

The seminar provided a comprehensive overview of the role of AI in various fields, from real estate business and human resource management to manufacturing and green growth planning. Speakers included: Mr. Phan Dinh Tue, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Business Association (HUBA) and President of the Nghe Tinh Business Association in Ho Chi Minh City; Mr. Tran Van Chin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arobid Technology JSC; Mr. Pham Thanh Hung, Chairman of the Investment Board of Columbus SV Partner Fund, Vice President of CenGroup, and Founder of the AIchot.vn platform; Mr. Nguyen Cong Thuy – CEO and Senior Consultant of JobTest Co., Ltd.; and Mr. Mai Quoc Binh, President of The Gioi Giay JSC.

Speakers discussed the challenges of applying AI.

From the question, "Is AI a natural technological trend or a necessary element for businesses to survive and thrive?", the speakers unanimously agreed that, in the context of increasingly fierce global competition, AI is not just a supporting tool but has become a key driving force for businesses to optimize processes, improve efficiency, and create new value.

Mr. Pham Thanh Hung, with his experience leading CenGroup and founding AIchot.vn – an AI-powered platform in real estate, shared: “AI not only helps businesses save time and costs but also opens up opportunities to personalize customer experiences. At CenGroup, we use AI to analyze market data, predict real estate trends, and provide more accurate advice to customers. AIchot.vn is proof that AI can create practical value, helping customers find suitable properties in just seconds. Applying AI is no longer an option, but a prerequisite for businesses to compete in the digital age.”

Mr. Nguyen Cong Thuy, CEO of JobTest, shared his perspective on the application of AI in human resource management. He stated, “AI is changing the way we recruit and develop talent. JobTest uses AI algorithms to objectively assess candidate capabilities, minimizing errors caused by human factors. For example, our system can analyze thousands of resumes in a short time, thereby suggesting the most suitable candidates for the company's requirements.” Mr. Thuy also emphasized that AI does not replace humans, but rather supports them in working more efficiently, especially in building long-term human resource strategies.

Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Tran Van Chin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arobid Technology JSC, the developer of EcoHub, the first "green" B2B e-commerce platform in Vietnam, said: "EcoHub is built on the principle of 'integration first - standardization first - action first'. The platform integrates AI to optimize the supply chain in the renewable energy, green transportation, and sustainable materials industries. AI helps us analyze big data, predict market demand, and support businesses in achieving ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria." According to Mr. Chin, AI is now an indispensable tool for Vietnam to achieve its green growth and sustainable development goals.

The Chairman of An Thai Coffee Group shares his experience on AI application.

Regarding its application in the paper and consumer goods manufacturing industry , Mr. Mai Quoc Binh, Chairman of The World of Paper Company, stated that his company uses AI to optimize production processes, from raw material management to market demand forecasting. For example, AI algorithms help predict the amount of paper needed based on historical data and consumer trends, thereby reducing waste and increasing economic efficiency. In a fiercely competitive environment, businesses that do not adopt AI will find it difficult to maintain their market position.

Speaking about the role of policy in promoting AI application, Mr. Phan Dinh Tue, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Business Association (HUBA) and President of the Nghe Tinh Business Association in Ho Chi Minh City, emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is pioneering in supporting businesses in digital transformation and the application of high technology. HUBA and the Nghe Tinh Business Association in Ho Chi Minh City are committed to accompanying businesses in accessing AI, from human resource training to connecting with technology partners. Mr. Tue also called for cooperation between the government, businesses, and research institutes to create a sustainable AI ecosystem, helping Vietnam catch up with global trends.

Numerous businesspeople exchanged views on the application of AI in management and production.

The speakers also frankly discussed the challenges of AI application, including initial investment costs, shortages of high-quality human resources, and ethical and data security issues. However, they all agreed that these are insurmountable obstacles with a long-term strategy and close collaboration between all parties.

Speakers also noted that AI is not an option, but an inevitable part of the future. Businesses that lag behind in adopting AI will be left behind. Vietnam has a great opportunity to become the AI hub of the region, but this requires strong determination and investment from both the country and businesses.
