Find investment strategies in education

Vietnam is making strong strides in developing and applying AI through major policies, such as Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP of the Government on personal data protection, Decision No. 1290/QD-BKHCN of the Ministry of Science and Technology guiding a number of principles on research and development of responsible AI systems.

The above policies create a foundation for Vietnam to build competitive advantages in the region, helping technology businesses have an open environment to innovate and develop.

FPT Corporation Chairman Truong Gia Binh said that the country's strength lies in its young, dynamic and highly qualified human resources in the STEM field. This potential has attracted Qualcomm and Samsung corporations to invest hundreds of millions of USD in research and development centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. In addition, technology infrastructure is also being heavily invested in with more than 70,000 5G broadcasting stations nationwide, making Vietnam a leading country in 5G application in Southeast Asia. Data centers are increasingly numerous and modern according to international standards. The National Innovation Center (NIC) in Hanoi and the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) in Ho Chi Minh City are playing a role in connecting scientists, businesses and investors, promoting research and transferring AI technology.

On the business side, large technology corporations such as FPT, Viettel , Vingroup and VNPT are all investing heavily in AI, focusing on “Make in Vietnam” solutions for many fields: virtual assistants, healthcare, digital government, automation and some AI products serving education. In addition, MoMo is applying AI deeply into financial services with technologies such as eKYC, facial recognition, helping to personalize user experiences, helping to connect schools and educational institutions financially in a convenient and safe way.

According to a report by TopDev, the demand for AI human resources in Vietnam is growing by 30% per year. AWS research shows that the rate of AI application by Vietnamese enterprises has increased by 39% compared to the same period last year. By 2024, about 47,000 enterprises will deploy AI solutions. In total, nearly 170,000 enterprises have applied AI. The participation of Vietnamese technology enterprises in developing AI products brings great value, demonstrating technological capacity and competitiveness in the international market.

However, compared to other sectors, investment in AI for education is still modest and should be further promoted. For AI to truly create a breakthrough in education, there needs to be a stronger commitment from the business sector and the State. One of the current challenges is that 74% of businesses use AI for basic purposes such as improving operational efficiency, not focusing on product innovation; 17% of businesses reach the intermediate stage and 9% have comprehensive transformation.

In the field of education, we need to go beyond surface applications to develop in-depth AI solutions that address core issues such as teaching quality, equity in access to education, and skills development suitable for the digital age. To do that, we should have a clear strategy in investing in AI for education, turning this field into a bright spot of the technological revolution, contributing to training the young generation ready for the future.
