Vietnam's Industry and Trade Newspaper Launches AI Section

Vietnam's leading economic newspaper, Industry and Trade Newspaper (Báo Công Thương), officially launched its new specialized section, 'AI Cong Thuong,' on August 1, 2024. This section aims to focus on the latest trends, applications, and impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) within Vietnam's industrial, trade, and energy sectors. The AI Cong Thuong section will not only report on the advancements in AI technology but also provide information from the perspective of how it can contribute to Vietnam's economic growth, particularly in core industries such as manufacturing, import-export, and energy transition. It also emphasizes the importance of policy formulation accompanying the adoption of AI technologies, specifically touching upon strengthening the linkage with AI in teacher training and new possibilities through AI application in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, through this section, the newspaper is actively inviting readers, AI experts, and corporate representatives to participate in content creation. This initiative aims to deliver more practical and valuable information that reflects on-site needs and the latest technological developments. The mention of establishing an organization to promote international AI cooperation also indicates Vietnam's ambition to enhance its presence in the global AI development race. Vietnam has achieved remarkable economic growth in recent years, increasing its importance in international supply chains, especially in manufacturing. In this context, the adoption of AI technology is considered an essential element for improving productivity, reducing costs, and creating new business models. The government also positions AI development as one of the key areas of its national strategy, focusing on policy development and human resource training. The launch of AI Cong Thuong is expected to support these national endeavors and contribute to improving the public's AI literacy. Source: Nhan Dan
