In order for the program to be implemented effectively and sustainably, the Deputy Prime Minister requested NVIDIA to continue implementing activities to train high-quality human resources, research, transfer knowledge and develop a team of Vietnamese AI experts that meet international standards.

In particular, it is necessary to soon replicate the model of "Vietnam AI Academy" across the country, especially in major creative startup centers of Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. At the same time, continue to expand effective investment and business cooperation; pay attention to and use high-quality human resources of Vietnam...

For Hanoi University of Science and Technology, the Deputy Prime Minister requested to accelerate the process of training and certifying lecturers according to standards to fully exploit the potential of the Vietnam AI Academy Program. Hanoi University of Science and Technology also needs to research and integrate AI training content into the main curriculum and applied research activities; strengthen cooperation with technology enterprises in training to improve digital capacity for enterprises.

For the National Innovation Center, it is necessary to continue promoting the role of the "core" of the national innovation ecosystem; proactively connecting institutes, schools, businesses, students, startups... and supporting the development of a comprehensive AI ecosystem.

As a school in the “Three Houses” model, Associate Professor, Dr. Huynh Quyet Thang, Director of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said: Hanoi University of Science and Technology is responsible for coordinating and organizing training courses according to the standards of the “NVIDIA AI Academy” program, serving a variety of subjects from students, business officials to state agencies, to equip them with knowledge and skills to apply AI on the NVIDIA platform.

To ensure international training quality, NVIDIA has certified the first four lecturers of Hanoi University of Science and Technology as “University Ambassadors” and will continue to train 10 more lecturers in the coming time. This is a testament to the school’s capacity and commitment to building a team of high-quality lecturers capable of imparting knowledge and advanced AI technology. At the same time, Hanoi University of Science and Technology will coordinate with NVIDIA Ambassadors in Vietnam to deploy the program nationwide.

Associate Professor, Dr. Huynh Quyet Thang expects the program "Vietnam AI Academy" to provide quality courses, train specialized human resources in the field of AI, meeting the requirements of solving practical problems associated with the platforms provided by NVIDIA.

More importantly, the program also aims to build a strong network of AI experts, ready to accompany businesses and localities in the digital transformation process, expanding AI applications; at the same time, contributing to replicating the training model nationwide, towards forming an artificial intelligence community in Vietnam.
