What to expect from the AI ​​Au Lac alliance?

(NLDO) - For the first time, more than 20 state agencies, businesses, and universities "joined hands" to establish the Au Lac AI Alliance.

The first members to join the AI ​​alliance are leading technology units and technology startups such as: Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, MobiFone, VNPT, FPT, CMC , BKAV, Misa, MoMo, VNPAY, Zalo, AI For Vietnam, AI Hay, N2TP, Finhay with Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Academy of Posts and Telecommunications Technology, Academy of Cryptography Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, FPT University.

FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh said that establishing the AI ​​alliance is not just an initiative, but a call to action.

In addition to the goal of developing large language models (LLMs) capable of processing Vietnamese accurately, naturally, and in accordance with Vietnamese culture and identity, the Au Lac AI Alliance also aims to build an open and transparent AI community.

Here, all individuals, organizations, and businesses can freely access and use the Alliance's public assets, including source code, data, and models, even for commercial purposes, to stimulate innovation, widely apply AI, and realize national AI sovereignty . The Alliance is committed to developing safe, responsible AI products that comply with ethical standards and Vietnamese laws.

Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Board of Directors, said that the world is entering the AI ​​era and Vietnam is also facing a great opportunity to rise up, but we are facing a great challenge of protecting technological sovereignty, an inseparable part of national sovereignty; realizing the goal of becoming an advanced country by the 100th anniversary of independence but lacking investment resources. The Au Lac AI Alliance was born as a solution to these challenges. The AI ​​Alliance is not just an initiative, but a call.

Au Lac AI Alliance operates based on three principles: "consensus - respect - open community", focusing on three main areas: research and development, building standards and policies on AI, and training.

In the field of research and development, members will jointly develop large language models (LLMs) with the ability to process Vietnamese accurately, naturally, and in accordance with Vietnamese culture and identity, contributing to improving people's knowledge and promoting the national economy.

In the area of ​​AI policy and standards development, the alliance contributes to the development of AI-related policies, standards, and codes of practice to ensure that AI products are safe, responsible, ethical, and compliant with legal and regulatory requirements.

In the field of training, the alliance will organize activities, training programs, and competitions to raise awareness, knowledge, and skills about AI for the community.

Professor Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, said he clearly felt the spirit of determination and a historic vision in the birth of the Au Lac AI Alliance.

This name not only reminds us of the early days of building and defending the country, but also expresses the aspiration to build a Vietnamese-style artificial intelligence model, in the Vietnamese language, to serve the prosperous development and happiness of the nation.

"In the new era, we must act now - now or never. To stand on the shoulders of giants, our feet must be firm. Vietnam has intelligence, creativity, and an overseas Vietnamese community that always wants to contribute to the development of the country. We need to connect, create a strong enough innovation ecosystem, and at the same time perfect and build institutions, where AI is not just technology, but a strategic tool for decision-making, governance, and serving people. I believe in Vietnamese intelligence, and believe that we will succeed - not only succeed, but succeed sooner and more strongly" - Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thang expressed.
