Vietnam ranks among the top countries in the world on the AI Index.

According to the results published in the World AI Index, Vietnam made its mark by ranking 6th out of 40 countries worldwide, achieving 59.2 points on a scale of 100.

This index, compiled by WIN (Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research), measures the level of awareness, use, trust, and concerns of people in 40 countries across five continents (Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania) regarding artificial intelligence.

Vietnam's overall index is calculated based on the average of 7 component indicators related to AI.

According to the report, Vietnam stands out thanks to its dynamic, open-minded, enthusiastic, and confident urban population embracing new technologies. Notably, Vietnam surpasses many developed countries in terms of interest and positive attitudes towards AI.

Vietnam also ranks 3rd globally in terms of trust (65.6 points) and 5th in terms of AI acceptance (71.6 points). Indicators regarding the level of interest, comfort in using, and perception of usefulness among Vietnamese people also exceed the global average.

These are clear signals that confidence in digital technology is growing stronger in Vietnamese society, helping to solidify the country's position among the top 10 leading nations.

According to the report, the majority of AI users are young people aged 18 to 34, especially those living in the two major urban centers of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi .

Meanwhile, residents in Da Nang and Can Tho have significantly lower AI usage rates, reflecting a disparity in technology access between central cities and second-tier regions.

Usage rates are calculated based on the number of people in each age group and city who reported having used AI.

In the youngest age group surveyed (18-24 years old), approximately 9 out of 10 people in Hanoi (89%) and Ho Chi Minh City (87%) reported having actively used AI technology. Notably, the lowest usage rate was recorded among those aged 55-64 living in Da Nang, with only 1 out of 10 having had experience with AI.

Overall, the use of AI tends to decrease with age. Older people are generally less interested in and therefore less familiar with these technologies. This is a common trend not only in Vietnam but also in many other countries.

The increasing presence of AI in daily life has also raised many questions among people. Even in countries with an open attitude towards AI, such as Vietnam, many people remain concerned about the negative impacts of this technology on individuals and society.

In Vietnam, as in other Asia-Pacific countries, data privacy is the biggest concern, with 52% of respondents in the report expressing worry about how AI collects and uses personal data.

The above figure reflects the percentage of people who chose a concern level of 7 or higher on a 10-point scale.

Next, the concern that AI could replace humans in the workplace was shared by 48% of survey participants. This is a common concern in both developing and developed countries.

Notably, while concerns about misinformation (deepfakes, manipulation of public opinion) are considered a top worry in many developed countries, in Vietnam, only 36% of those surveyed expressed concern about this issue—the lowest among concerns for Vietnamese people.

This disparity reflects a clear difference in perception between Vietnamese people and people in European or American countries, where concerns about misinformation are often paramount.
