FPT Corporation made a significant impression at the AI4VN 2024 event through insightful discussions on pressing topics such as Sovereign AI and generative AI infrastructure to enhance Vietnam’s economic competitiveness.
Strategy to Advance Sovereign AI in Vietnam
The AI4VN 2024 event brought together AI experts, scientists, and leading technology companies from Vietnam and abroad to discuss the latest trends in artificial intelligence. This year, FPT presented unique perspectives on Sovereign AI and infrastructure resources aimed at driving AI adoption to bolster Vietnam’s economic competitiveness. FPT representatives emphasized the importance of building an AI ecosystem grounded in Vietnamese data, thereby safeguarding national interests and creating tangible economic value.
Mr. Lê Hồng Việt, CEO of FPT Smart Cloud, delivered a keynote speech underscoring the significance of developing Sovereign AI in Vietnam. He stated:
“The current national competitiveness lies not in human resources alone, but in the synergy between humans and AI. A strategy promoting Sovereign AI will enhance national competitiveness by increasing labor productivity and automation. Sovereign AI also safeguards data and human resources, ensuring independence from the technologies of major economies and protecting Vietnam’s digital sovereignty.”
FPT Smart Cloud CEO stated FPT is ready to commit to promoting sovereign AI in Vietnam
Acknowledging the opportunities and challenges AI presents, Mr. Việt highlighted FPT Smart Cloud’s focus on Sovereign AI through five key pillars: infrastructure, data, technology platforms, human resources, and business ecosystems. The $200 million partnership with NVIDIA to establish an AI Factory in March 2024 demonstrated FPT’s determination to develop independent infrastructure, master data, and advance AI research. FPT also inaugurated an AI Research Center in Quy Nhơn, employing over 5,000 staff members.
Dr. Trần Thế Trung, Deputy Director of AI Products at FPT Smart Cloud and Director of the FPT Research Institute, stated:
“Generative AI requires significantly greater computational infrastructure compared to traditional AI, posing a barrier for Vietnamese businesses. Generative AI could contribute $14 trillion to Vietnam’s digital economy by 2030. To maximize its benefits, both government and businesses need to address challenges such as building high-performance computational infrastructure, investing in semiconductor chip production, and formulating policies on electricity and energy costs, as well as strengthening telecommunications infrastructure.”
