In terms of advantages, Vietnam boasts young IT human resources, and STEM education is extremely popular. The young generation, although lacking experience, has talent, enthusiasm, and the ability to learn very quickly. Only a few countries have the advantage of this young and talented IT workforce like Vietnam.

Thus, our key recruitment formula combines experienced experts with human resources who are young and eager to learn. VinAI aims for global quality, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for talented young Vietnamese people.

This application can significantly reduce accidents, which is very useful in the current traffic situation in Vietnam.

This product is unique as it solves a problem not only in the Vietnamese market but also in other countries, even developed ones. A "life-saving" technology is always highly applicable - In Europe, according to the latest traffic laws, new cars are legally required to be equipped with a Driver Monitoring System, which opens up a large market for VinAI. We have so far demonstrated our computer vision capabilities that can compare with and even outperform similar products globally. In addition, we have published numerous international research papers, which creates prestige as well as gives our team the confidence to approach customers in foreign markets.

We are developing AI solutions for cars, buses, and trucks and are working with major partners in Europe to expand our products.

- How can you attract talented people?

- Since our establishment, VinAI has followed the mission of bringing Vietnam's AI technology to global level, rejecting the myth that Vietnam is lagging behind in technology.

This common goal convinced many leading Vietnamese AI experts working abroad to return to Vietnam, laying the foundation for VinAI.

We also welcome talented young people, and together with experienced AI foreign experts, we build a strong team to catch up to the world and gain some remarkable achievements.

The VinAI Residency Program, our AI talent incubation training program, recruits more than 20 excellent students each year, providing them with well-trained, specialized AI training with a focus on a world-class research level.

Up to now, residents at VinAI have published more than 40 publications at top-tier international AI conferences. More than 30 VinAI residents have received full Ph.D. scholarships, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and are studying for PhDs at prestigious universities around the world. However, this training model remains small in size. Our challenge now is how to expand the program by increasing the number of participants and providing them well trained AI programs. To do this, VinAI would like to further cooperate with other universities in Vietnam.

- What do you think about the potential of AI in Vietnam?

- Recently, the topic of data has received a large amount of attention. The Vietnamese government and businesses are becoming more aware of the significance of data in AI development, digital transformation, and especially privacy policies, which is a very positive sign.

VinAI, a new player in AI research and development, has only been in operation for three years. However, our achievements have contributed to affirming Vietnam's AI capabilities to the world, giving us more confidence to go above and beyond. Vietnam is fully capable of creating high-quality AI products that make life better, not only in Vietnam but in the whole world.
