Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The GenAI Summit 2024, with the theme 'Uncharted Frontier', will take place in Ho Chi Minh City on August 18.

The summit is organised by the National Innovation Centre (NIC) coordinating with a number of units under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI).

The conference will bring the latest advances in Generative AI technology.

In particular, the conference will feature the presence of Jeff Dean, Google's Chief Scientist, co-founder of Google Brain, Google Translate, Gemini and many products that have helped Google dominate the global technology industry. He will bring valuable sharing and insight into the future of AI.

The conference is expected to welcome more than 1,000 direct attendees, including experts shaping the future of AI, business leaders, leading intellectuals and pioneers in AI research.

It will be the most interesting GenAI conference ever, not only in Vietnam but also in the region, said Luong Minh Thang, representative of the organising committee.

Vu Quoc Huy, NIC Director, said that the conference demonstrated NIC's strong commitment to promote the AI ecosystem in Vietnam, supporting startups to seize the opportunities of the AI era.

The conference promises to be a breakthrough innovation and science and technology event, focusing on the remarkable advances of GenAI, he added./.
