In recent years, the Vietnamese Government has paid attention to and built an investment mechanism for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The government also promoted international cooperation, including the Australia-Vietnam Innovation Program (Aus4Innovation).
Since 2018, Australia has cooperated with the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam to organize many research, development, and application activities for Artificial Intelligence.
When the National Strategy on Research, Development, and Application of Artificial Intelligence to 2030 was passed, Australia continued to accompany the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Government of Vietnam in developing and promoting this type of new technology in Vietnam.
In the three years, from 2018 to 2021, there have been cooperation programs between the two countries to promote AI development in Vietnam, including some outstanding activities such as the AI4VN Artificial Intelligence Festival, which takes place every year since 2018; with 5 expert seminars on Artificial Intelligence in 2021 and competitions like ACC 2021 and Hackathon RESET 1010.
It can be said that the Aus4Innovation program has an important role in contributing to the development of strategic policies on Artificial Intelligence in Vietnam in the coming time, as well as creating a cooperative relationship between research institutes, universities, and enterprises in Vietnam and Australia./.
