FPT is pursuing the philosophy of popular AI, with two goals: everyone learns AI and everyone does AI. Each FPTer is responsible for creating their own AI assistant.

FPT Chairman said that the corporation has brought the most modern equipment to Vietnam and Japan to build AI factories. He affirmed that when AI becomes popular and accessible to all classes, the demand for AI factories will increase sharply.

Concerned about competitors like DeepSeek, he said that the more people use AI, the greater the need for AI factories, meaning this model is creating opportunities for the group.

In the near future, Mr. Binh said that FPT will not stop at 2 AI factories because many corporations in the world are proposing to work with FPT on AI factories. Those factories can be built in Malaysia, Indonesia, even in Germany...
