Ho Chi Minh City will popularize AI to its people.

DNVN - The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has just issued a Plan to implement the Program to popularize artificial intelligence for citizens (AI for Citizens) in the period of 2025 - 2030, aiming to bring knowledge and skills about AI to all classes of people, contributing to the formation of "digital culture" in the community and building the city into a leading innovation center in the region.

The plan aims to popularize basic and advanced knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) for the city community, without requiring a complex programming or mathematical background. People will be equipped with skills to apply AI in work, life and study; at the same time, encourage the spirit of discovery and lifelong learning of new technology.

According to the set target, in the period of 2026 - 2027, each year at least 1% of the city's population (about 100,000 people) will be trained in AI; by 2027 it will reach 2% (200,000 people). In the period of 2028 - 2030, this rate will increase to 5% each year (about 600,000 people), aiming for 15% of the city's population (about 2 million people) to be trained by 2030, of which 80% of learners can apply at least one AI tool to work or life.

Ho Chi Minh City promotes popularization of AI to people.

The program will be implemented flexibly, accessible, suitable for many target groups, can be studied online or combined directly. Training content will be presented with real-life examples, avoiding specialized terminology; at the same time, there will be a mechanism for regular assessment and improvement and encourage the participation of the State, schools, businesses and social organizations.

The plan also proposes building an online learning platform that integrates a learning management system (LMS), content management system (CMS), learner database, interactive tools and single sign-on (SSO) with VNeID accounts; applying the massive open online learning (MOOC) model to serve large-scale training.

In addition, short-term classes (2-4 sessions) will be held directly at agencies, cultural houses, libraries, community learning centers or online, providing instructions on how to use simple AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.

The Department of Science and Technology is assigned to preside over the implementation of the Program, coordinate with relevant agencies and units to monitor, supervise and periodically report results. The Department of Home Affairs coordinates AI training for civil servants, public employees and workers in the state agency sector.
