“I come here today, not only as a businesswoman running a digital bank and a global airline, not only as a PhD in automation, but first and foremost - as a mother, a person who always believes that technology must be built to serve people, to create a fair and equal world for everyone, for the future of children.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao has witnessed millions of Vietjet passengers flying for the first time to new lands with many better opportunities for education, healthcare , and employment. Millions of rural women and students in remote areas have access to digital finance from Vikki digital bank to change their lives. And now, we create equality in AI for everyone to leverage universal equal opportunities in education, finance, and healthcare. The billionaire believes that the public interest, the common interest of humanity must be the fulcrum for all dialogues, policies, and innovations in AI technology.

Vietjet Chairman affirmed: “Let us start with people, equality revolves around dignity, the human right to personal happiness - regardless of origin, income, gender or level. Because of this equality, I affirm that there will be no difference in the AI world between me - a successful person, a billionaire - and Tuk tuk drivers or people on the street. Therefore, at the prestigious UNESCO forum today, I hope that together we will not only talk about AI as a tool, but as a commitment - that AI must always return to the heart of humanity, with its fundamental values: compassion, integrity and the aspiration to create a fairer, more equal and better world”.

Billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao called for a joint effort to shape a global vision where AI is developed on a solid ethical foundation - human-centered, inclusive and trust-based. As a business, she committed to supporting both financial and resource contributions to promote international initiatives - in particular supporting the proposal of a "Fair Data Fund", which helps provide transparent, unbiased, multilingual data for AI training to serve the community, especially in developing countries.

“More importantly, AI policies need to put vulnerable people at the center - so that no one is left behind because of gender, circumstances or geography. I call on today's Forum to expand the policy space for women, girls and disadvantaged communities - not only as beneficiaries but also as co-creators of the digital future. From here, I and my businesses such as Vietjet, HDBank, Vikki Bank... commit to take strong action for a world where technology is not only smart but also humane - where AI is not only programmed by algorithms, but also guided by human values”, billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao shared her message and strong commitment to the forum.
