Within this week, we suddenly have a flurry of activities from Vietnam. Firstly, they’ve decided that they want to push for the development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in a big way. Second, they want to also develop a robust Internet of Things (IOT) platform so that they could enable seamless integration of a wide variety of services. Thirdly, they want to try to join the race to develop 6G technology. Lastly, they have shortlisted several cities to spearhead the development of theme-based townships/ cities that balance between sustainability, people and economic growth.
I’ve already covered point (4) which is their plan to develop new townships in my previous blog post therefore, I will only proceed to cover the first three. I want to focus on their plans for artificial intelligence, IOT platform and also the push for 6G technology.
Like I mentioned earlier, there’s so many things that are happening within Southeast Asia right now but I simply don’t have the time to cover all of them. I can at most write one blog post per day.
In fact, there’s a lot of happenings in Philippines right now and there’s further developments on their digitalisation journey. Brunei, another Southeast Asian county has also made big strides internally with their plans to strengthen their small enterprises and started a government effort to market their products overseas. Korea has also made headwaves into the renewable energy sector in Timor Leste, another Southeast Asia country located at the eastern end of Indonesia.
As I shared earlier in my blog post which was about Vietnam’s plan to go into artificial intelligence, they’ve now decided to go full steam ahead to execute their plan. Under this plan, they will encourage and support their start-ups and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of artificial intelligence so that they could stay competitive. As of now, they are encouraging the private sector to plough investments into this domain, and hopefully produce Made-in-Vietnam AI related products. Vietnam is currently encouraging its SMEs to produce AI products that are related to human resources, training and education.
Apart from AI, they also want to focus on creating an IOT platofrm so that they could have an open data ecosystem and shared database by 2025. When the shared database and open data ecosystem are completed, independent platforms will be connected to national databases to serve the city’s e-government. The database would include information ranging from housing, transport, environment and healthcare. With this, they aim to improve data access to public information for social organisations, businesses and residents. Also, they are planning for Ho Chi Minh city to offer online public services by 2030.
Lastly, they are also joining the race to develop 6G technology, joining the likes of USA, China, Russia and Korea. Once done, they might be able to integrate AI with 6G enabling system-wide IOT integration among physical devices, signal processing, resource management, and connection services. Prof. Dr. Duong Khac Trung was appointed to the research chair position of the UK’s renowned Royal Academy of Engineering (RAENG) to study the next chapter of telecommunication advances, including 6G development.
