Developed by Intel Corporation, the National Innovation Center under the Ministry of Finance and partners such as the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT), the “Artificial Intelligence for the Community” program has two main modules.

The first is AI Aware, which includes an introduction to the fundamentals, practical applications, and common misconceptions about AI. The second is AI Appreciate, which includes a deeper exploration of AI ethics, responsible use of AI, and its impact in various fields.
