Deputy Minister Duy said Vietnam has been paying attention to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) from R&D, human resources and infrastructure, along with management policies.
He asked the U.S. business delegation to engage in discussions about areas of mutual concern such as AI, technology infrastructure, high technology and intellectual property.
Vietnam applies the highest incentives to businesses operating in the field of high technology, with support for technology, priority products, and high-technology business, he noted.
At the reception, McFeeters said that Vietnam is an important market in promoting digital economic development, thus companies in the delegation want to engage in the digital economy in the country.
Meanwhile, Goh said although Vietnam does not have a specific policy on AI, many Vietnamese companies are already developing AI products, such as FPT AI, TPS AI, Zalo AI and VinAI research. Therefore, it is necessary for the Southeast Asian country to build and complete an appropriate legal corridor for AI applications, he said.
On this occasion, the two sides also talked about Vietnam's digital transformation strategy and digital socio-economic development program in 2024 in relation with maintaining macroeconomic stability, improving the country's resilience to fluctuations in the global economy, and developing emerging technologies such as cloud computing and AI.
