The Decision takes effect from the date of signing, replacing Decision No. 127/QD-TTg dated January 26, 2021 on the National Strategy on research, development and application of Artificial Intelligence until 2030. Sharing specifically about the Strategy, Mr. Nguyen Khac Lich, Director of the Department of Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence (Ministry of Science and Technology) said, the Strategy determines the transition from research, development and application of AI to comprehensive national transformation with AI; Take AI as a core competency right from the stage of problem identification, design, organization and operation; take human resources, infrastructure and data as the foundation; AI institutions and governance make breakthroughs. Implementation ensures unified leadership, centralized management, people-centered, and attaches the responsibility of the leader to the results; develop human resources and popularize AI skills across the population; Synchronously develop infrastructure, data, models, and AI platforms, ensuring AI safety, security, and sovereignty.

By 2030, Vietnam strives to become one of the centers with capacity for research, development, application and co-creation of value in AI in ASEAN and Asia. According to Mr. Nguyen Khac Lich, the goals are built in 4 layers including impact, results, output products and inputs. At the impact layer, Vietnam aims to be in the group of 3 leading countries in Southeast Asia in AI research and development; AI economy reaches about 6% of GDP; Labor productivity in AI application industries increased by 10-15%; Export of AI products, services and solutions reached about 5 billion USD. At the results layer, 60% of businesses applied AI to improve efficiency; 100% of officials, civil servants, and public employees use public service AI weekly; 60% of executive decisions are supported by data and AI; The level of satisfaction with public services with AI increased by at least 30%.

From Strategy to implementation: 32 targets - 97 tasks According to Mr. Nguyen Khac Lich, the Strategy is specified by 32 targets and 97 tasks and solutions in 14 groups. Each task clearly identifies the lead agency, cCoordinating agency, implementing unit, product or result and implementation time; Mobilize ministries, branches, localities, businesses, research establishments, training establishments, social organizations and associations to participate. The Ministry of Science and Technology presides over implementation, inter-sectoral coor
