The meetings always dedicate a significant amount of time to discussion (In the photo: Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Huu Thuy Giang speaking at a regular meeting).

According to the City People's Committee Office, the use of AI is not intended to replace humans but to support and improve the quality of advisory services. The system can synthesize data from multiple sources, detect anomalies or noteworthy trends, thereby assisting leaders in the review and decision-making process.

According to Hoang Viet Cuong, Chief of the Office of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, the application of digital reporting is an important foundation for the city to initially operate an online reporting system, applying AI in data aggregation and presentation. Currently, the system is still in the testing phase, operating and continuously being refined.

A notable feature is that the entire platform is built on cloud computing infrastructure, assigning specific responsibilities to each individual. Each officer has their own account and "workplace"; whoever enters the data is responsible for it. This approach not only helps track information when needed but also contributes to improving awareness of data updating. Once completed, the system will allow for the generation of reports according to regulations, eventually replacing paper documents and enabling automatic connectivity between agencies.

Regarding the implementation roadmap, the Director of the Department of Science and Technology, Nguyen Xuan Son, stated that the digital reporting system is being built in three phases. The first phase focuses on perfecting the reporting platform, ensuring that data is fully and consistently updated. The second phase integrates and applies AI to enhance analytical capabilities. The third phase aims to build an alerting mechanism to directly support operational management.

According to Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son, when completed, the system will not only aggregate data but also provide early warnings of unusual socio -economic indicators. This will help city leaders monitor, inspect, and direct the system in a timely manner. However, for the system to operate effectively, the prerequisite remains the quality of the input data. "The data must be accurate, complete, and up-to-date for the system to be truly effective," Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son emphasized.

The digitization of meetings is not new. At recent sessions of the City People's Council, the Hue-S platform was put into use. Delegates can access electronic documents, follow the session's content, and vote on their personal devices. This significantly saves time and printing costs, while also enhancing transparency in parliamentary activities.

Notably, at the 10th session of the 8th City People's Council in July 2025, AI was introduced for the first time to provide support. Accordingly, AI handled the presentation of the Economic and Budget Committee's review report, while delegates could look up relevant legal grounds on their personal devices. This pilot project is seen as a concrete step in the digital transformation roadmap of parliamentary activities.

The changes in the meetings clearly show a trend: the way the administrative apparatus operates is gradually shifting towards being more streamlined, faster, and data-driven. Meetings are no longer focused on presentation but rather on analysis, discussion, and decision-making. This is also a crucial foundation for building a modern digital government, aimed at better serving citizens and businesses.

In numerous related meetings, the Party Central Committee member, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, and Chairman of the City People's Committee, Nguyen Khac Toan, consistently urged agencies and units to strongly innovate their working methods and procedures towards conciseness, brevity, and efficiency. The city is also implementing a comprehensive set of digital reporting platforms to ensure timely support for leadership and management.
