Continuing to share about the AI ​​issue, Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT said: “Minister Nguyen Manh Hung often reminds us that thinking must be 10X, there must be something breakthrough and AI is the breakthrough of 10X. Because AI helps increase labor productivity 10 times. Previously, the gap between us and the world's advanced nations was very far, because of technological revolutions. But previous technological revolutions have never created such a breakthrough in productivity. Therefore, this revolution poses extremely big challenges, but on the contrary, the opportunities are also great."

At the same time, Mr. Truong Gia Binh emphasized that the most important solution is educational innovation. He said: “The difficulty is that when a child enters grade 1, finishes high school, then goes to university and enters the labor market, the job at that time is completely different. None of us can predict what future jobs will be like, and how to prepare. Therefore, I have proposed a radical change in teaching, learning, and assessment methods. If Vietnamese children from grade 1 have learned with AI, worked with AI, and grown up with AI, then when they grow up, they can adapt to any changes in the future due to the impact of AI. The most important thing is to teach, learn, and assess with AI – and do it as quickly as possible."

The rate of Vietnamese enterprises using AI in sales activities is up to 75%, many large enterprises have invested in AI development, considering this a key technology to promote growth and long-term competitiveness.
