Promoting ASEAN digital transformation with 5G and AI: Smart and synchronized strategy needed

On the afternoon of July 22, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in collaboration with Qualcomm - a global semiconductor company of the United States, published the report "Leveraging 5G to promote AI-based transformation in ASEAN" by Professor Vu Minh Khuong. The report provides many strategic recommendations to unlock the digital potential of the region.

Professor Vu Minh Khuong from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy said that 5G is the core infrastructure for ASEAN to promote digital transformation, but currently the level of implementation is still very different between countries. Without timely coordinated action, the digital gap will widen, weakening regional competitiveness.

Many countries like Vietnam are pursuing a “smart follower” strategy, selectively deploying 5G in industrial parks, seaports, and high-tech zones to optimize costs and efficiency.

According to Professor Vu Minh Khuong, 5G is not only a step forward from 4G but also a platform to create new value for businesses in areas such as smart factories, logistics, and telemedicine . However, to be effective, it is necessary to develop synchronous digital infrastructure such as cloud computing, digital skills, information technology systems, and a flexible legal framework.

The report recommends five policy pillars: integrating 5G into national strategies, supporting innovation, reforming spectrum allocation, developing digital human resources, and enhancing regional cooperation.

In the context of global technology competition, ASEAN's neutrality is an advantage in attracting investment in areas such as AI, semiconductors and digital infrastructure. Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are gradually becoming AI and high-tech hubs in the region.

Professor Vu Minh Khuong noted that ASEAN should prepare early for 6G with three lessons from 5G: focus on creating value, ensuring AI equipment is ready, and maintaining the State's coordinating role.

However, Ms. Jeanette Whyte, Head of Public Policy and External Affairs for the Asia- Pacific region, emphasized that when AI is deeply integrated into telecommunications networks, the deployment needs to ensure ethics, transparency and social values to build trust.
