More than 3 million motorbike lane violations have been recorded in Hanoi over just six months, as a pilot system of AI-powered traffic cameras begins to reveal both the scale of the problem and the potential of smart enforcement.

In recent years, waves of layoffs at major global tech companies have raised concerns among students and parents about whether pursuing a degree in information technology is still a wise choice.

At busy intersections, traffic is flowing more smoothly, signals appear better timed and enforcement less arbitrary, pointing to a broader shift in how Hanoi manages its rapidly expanding urban transport network.

Vietnam’s economic growth over past decades has largely relied on labour expansion, capital accumulation, export promotion and deep global trade integration, but as the country enters a higher development stage, this model is showing limitations.

An AI expert from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) believes that if Vietnam wants an elite force in the field of AI, it needs to discover and nurture young talents starting from high school.

FocusIQ, an AI-driven exam preparation system using EEG technology, claims first place after an intense 36-hour competition.

Experts say weather forecasting requires judgment, experience and constant verification beyond what algorithms alone can deliver.

AI may automate tasks, but it cannot replace human empathy and creativity. Experts have encouraged female students to leverage their natural strengths in fields like STEM, humanities, and healthcare to thrive in a rapidly changing 2026 job market.

AI also emerges as a key enabler for Vietnam's ambition to build financial and technology hubs. Applications can boost efficiency, automate workflows, cut costs, and sharpen data analytics, which are essential pillars of a modern financial system.

The Minister of Science and Technology has signed a circular issuing the National Artificial Intelligence Ethics Framework.

The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on March 11 held a meeting with a consortium of international investors and partners regarding a project to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) data centre at Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park.

The International Conference on Intelligent Information Technology 2026 (ICIIT 2026) brought together leading academics and industry experts to explore how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of digital transformation.

The workshop featured four in-depth discussion sessions with nearly 20 speakers from Vietnam and Europe, covering AI applications in digital transformation, economic development, trade, energy, nuclear medicine and biotechnology.

Vietnam can transform the global AI wave into a competitive advantage if it simultaneously advances businesses, human skills and digital infrastructure.

Under the plan, AI clusters will be developed under a model that combines centralised physical spaces with digital network linkages.

While many countries are still drafting policy blueprints or issuing non-binding guidance, Vietnam has moved ahead with a standalone Law on Artificial Intelligence (AI), effective from March 1.

To build a strong elite workforce in artificial intelligence, Vietnam needs to identify and nurture promising students as early as secondary school, according to an AI expert at Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Le Ky Nam, an eighth-grade student in Hanoi, brought home a bronze medal from the International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad 2026, competing against students from leading technology nations.

The invention "Deep-learning method for multi-object tracking from video" was granted a utility patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
