A series of large agencies, businesses and universities join hands to establish
The first members to join the alliance are leading technology units and technology startups such as: Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, MobiFone, VNPT, FPT, CMC , BKAV, Misa, VNPAY, Zalo, MoMo, AI For Vietnam, AI Hay, N2TP, Finhay and academies and universities: Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Academy of Posts and Telecommunications Technology, Academy of Cryptography Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, FPT University.
The Au Lac AI Alliance was established with the aim of developing large language models (LLMs) capable of processing Vietnamese accurately, naturally, and in accordance with Vietnamese culture and identity, thereby improving people's knowledge and promoting national economic development.
In addition, the Alliance aims to build an open and transparent AI community where all individuals, organizations and businesses can freely access and use the Alliance's public assets, including source code, data and models, even for commercial purposes, to stimulate innovation, widespread AI application, and realize national AI sovereignty . At the same time, the Alliance is committed to developing safe and responsible AI products that comply with ethical standards and Vietnamese laws.
Sharing at the event, Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Board of Directors, who initiated the establishment of Au Lac AI Alliance, said: "The world is entering the AI era and Vietnam is also facing a great opportunity to rise up. But we are facing three major challenges. The first is to protect technological sovereignty, an inseparable part of national sovereignty. The second is to realize the goal of becoming an advanced country by the 100th anniversary of independence. Vietnam has established a "quadruple strategic resolution" of science and technology, international integration, law and private economy to bring the country up in the new era. Decision 1131 also placed AI in the number 1 position in the country's 11 strategic technology groups. The third is the lack of investment resources, the major powers invest hundreds, thousands of billions of USD each year in AI, Vietnam does not have equivalent resources. Au Lac AI Alliance was born as a solution to these challenges. The AI Alliance is not only an initiative, but a call to arms”.
The activities of the Au Lac AI Alliance are based on three principles: Consensus - Respect - Open Community. Based on the strengths of its members, the Au Lac AI Alliance will focus on three main areas: Research and development, Building standards and policies on AI, and Training.
In the field of R&D, members will jointly develop large language models (LLMs) with the ability to process Vietnamese accurately, naturally, and in accordance with Vietnamese culture and identity, contributing to improving people's knowledge and promoting the national economy. At the same time, members will also join forces to build an open and transparent AI community where all individuals, organizations and businesses can freely access and use public assets (including source code, data and models), including for commercial purposes, to promote AI innovation and application in Vietnam, realize national AI sovereignty and enhance Vietnam's technological position.
In the field of AI Policy and Standards Development, Au Lac AI Alliance will contribute opinions on policies, standards and codes of conduct related to AI to ensure AI products are safe, responsible, and comply with ethical standards and legal regulations.
In the field of Training, the Alliance will organize activities, training programs, and competitions to raise awareness, knowledge, and skills about AI for the community.
At the launching ceremony of the Au Lac AI Alliance, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, said: “I clearly feel a spirit of determination and a historic vision in the birth of the Au Lac AI Alliance. This name not only reminds us of the early days of building and defending the country, but also shows the aspiration to build a Vietnamese-style artificial intelligence model, in the Vietnamese language, to serve the prosperous development and happiness of the nation. In the new era, we must act immediately - now or never. To stand on the shoulders of giants, our feet must be firm. Vietnam has intelligence, creativity, and an overseas Vietnamese community that always wants to contribute to the development of the country. We need to connect, create a strong enough innovation ecosystem, and at the same time perfect and build institutions, where AI is not only technology, but also a strategic tool for decision-making, governance, and and serve the people. I believe in Vietnamese intelligence, and believe that we will succeed – not only succeed, but succeed sooner, more strongly”.
Committed to AI
At the discussion session, the first members of the Alliance made commitments to "join forces and unite" to create an AI technology platform with strong national identity, contributing to affirming the country's position in the digital age.
Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Dang Chinh, Vice President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said: "Today's AI Alliance is an important milestone for Vietnam to move towards the position of an AI powerhouse. Vietnamese intelligence must be the foundation, and to do that, education must be closely linked to practice. Students need to participate in large, international projects to mature and become leading experts. When universities participate in the country's big problems, both teachers and students have access to reality and contribute their intelligence to the country. That is our expectation when joining this Alliance."
Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of FPT Corporation shared: “As a Vietnamese, I believe that each of us has a responsibility to the Fatherland. With the AI Alliance, FPT commits to opening up the entire core technology platform, from LLM to Cloud AI, for members to develop together. We will invest in open AI, supporting small businesses, research institutes, and schools to access data and tools. At the same time, FPT will accompany the Steering Committee of Resolution 57 to propose breakthrough policies, such as sandboxes for AI. We are behind, but if we go together, we can go faster, even ahead."
Mr. Nguyen Minh Tu, Zalo Technology Director shared: “Zalo commits to contribute according to its strengths: experience in successfully building a pure Vietnamese AI model, system architecture and VMLU Vietnamese proficiency assessment set with more than 10,000 questions. We believe that with the participation of schools and institutes, this set of questions will be enriched, serving the long-term development of AI. Zalo has experienced many difficulties when building the model, so we will contribute a separate team to support the Alliance, helping Vietnam master AI and affirm its technological position on the world map."
Developing VietGPT product - virtual assistant exclusively for Vietnamese people
Right at the launching ceremony of the Au Lac AI Alliance, the Alliance proposed developing a large Vietnamese language model - Au Lac LLM as a foundation for building AI applications for end users.
At the same time, FPT also announced the plan to develop the VietGPT product - a virtual assistant dedicated to each Vietnamese person based on this language model. VietGPT is a virtual assistant that deeply understands Vietnamese culture, society, language and thinking, meeting the needs of learning, exploring and improving productivity as well as work quality of Vietnamese people at a reasonable cost. At the same time, through interaction with users, products like VietGPT will help optimize and improve model capacity as well as share models, data and experiences with the community.
Mr. Le Hong Viet, General Director of FPT Smart Cloud, FPT Corporation emphasized that in order for AI technology to become a core national strength, Vietnam needs to both participate in the global open source community and build its own open source community, thereby mastering technology and language. FPT will connect domestic systems, open a platform for Vietnamese enterprises to contribute and exploit VietGPT. This will be implemented this year.
Not only Vietnam, but also about 70 other countries around the world – from large economies such as the US, China, UAE, South Korea – to smaller countries, are focusing on building national AI strategies. The common goal of countries is to pool intelligence, resources and technology, ensuring the development of AI in a safe, responsible manner, serving the interests of the community and national sovereignty. The establishment of the Alliance not only opens a new chapter for the journey of AI development in Vietnam, but also promises a bright future, where technology practically serves the community, is linked to national interests and contributes to affirming Vietnam's independence and sovereignty on the global technology map.
