Launching Au Lac Artificial Intelligence Alliance to develop strategic technology

Photo caption — Vietnam officially has an alliance on artificial intelligence.

The alliance includes leading technology units in the technology industry such as: Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, MobiFone, VNPT, FPT, CMC , BKAV, Misa, MoMo, VNPAY, Zalo, 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, widely apply AI, and realize national AI sovereignty .

At the same time, the Alliance is committed to developing safe, 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” on science and technology, international integration, law and private economy to bring the country forward in the new era. Decision 1131 also placed AI at the number 1 position in the country’s 11 strategic technology groups.

Third is the lack of investment resources. The major powers invest hundreds and thousands of billions of dollars each year in AI, while Vietnam does not have equivalent resources. The Au Lac AI Alliance was born as a solution to these challenges. The AI Alliance is not just 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 AI-related policies, standards and codes of conduct 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.

Speaking 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 emphasized: “I clearly feel a spirit of determination and a historic vision in the birth of the Au Lac AI Alliance. This name not only recalls the early days of building and defending the country, but also expresses 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 this new era, we must act now or never. To stand on the shoulders of giants, we must stand on our own feet. 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 just technology, but a strategic tool for decision-making, governance, and serving people. I believe in Vietnamese intelligence, and believe that we will succeed, not only succeed, but succeed sooner and more strongly," said Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thang.
