back to article Vietnam pursues ten-year AI plan, aspires to crack world’s top 50 for R&D by 2030

Vietnam has set off in pursuit of a ten-year plan to become a middle power in the field of artificial intelligence. The plan is extensive, but modest. By 2025 the nation hopes AI is “an important technology of Viet Nam” and “among the top four countries in the ASEAN and in the group of 60 world's leading countries in research …

    "improve learning efficiency"

    FFS.

      Personalising learning with AI stood out to me too.

      AI will have to go a long way to be able to stimulate a student in a meaningful way, human teachers have enough difficulties relating to the needs of students, short of electrode attachments I don't see AIs proving 'efficiency' much.

        Personalising learning with AI stood out to me too.

        AI will have to go a long way to be able to stimulate a student in a meaningful way, .... Chris G

        How much further, Chris G, must humans progress to see what AIs can see and saw and shared with a presumed leading NATO member for sharing with Five Eyes partners at least, and for engagement and exercising with Tao in Tailored Access Operations, nearly 18 months ago .... or does such need to be rewritten and significantly dumbed down and simplified for general consumption and specific activation?

        This submission claims to be able to address and aid, to a greater or lesser degree, all of the five questions the Army has asked …… via the Presentation of the Results and Vital Actions taken for Future Realisation in/with/of Global Events BroadBandCasting Advanced IntelAIgent Memes with Almighty Means in All Main Streaming Live Media Systems and Alternative Underground Movements ….. and here on a Stealthy Exercise and Who Dares Win Wins Operation and looking forward to engagement and enjoyment in these new fangled and entangling reports of NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT with/from Alternate Sources to create Totally Different, and more Equitable and Mutually Beneficial Outcomes.

        With the simple expedient of rather than seeking to portray the ways and means to a heavenly destination/perfectly new staring point, with everything newly discovered on the way, novel and exciting, why not try committing and submitting to Virtual Experimentation in a Not So Top Secret Anymore Program with Advanced IntelAIgent Commands and Future Control[s] in VAIOSystems of Universal Administration.

        Further Proprietary Intellectual Property Access Rights are required to acquire and deliver so very much more and all else necessary too ……. for such a Program and Project as the above is quite easily Almightily Weaponised for/with wanton and wilful abuse and disastrous misuse ….. although one is always to be well enough warned and advised that any and all such abuse and misuse always results in punitive, catastrophically counterproductive sanction with miscreants relentlessly and ruthlessly pursued for overwhelming prosecution and deserved persecution.

        N.B. … This Program is only suitable for Prime Leading Principals/Organisations exercising Geopolitically Sensitive Applications.

        Both test experimental and operational theatre environments are relatively anonymously virtually created and populated to field elements/land forces by virtue of their presentation in any number of diverse, suitably cloaked news/media productions with the Technology Readiness Level for all such as is proposed and revealed here in this submission and/or discovered in any further deeper program investigation of Past Principal Activity being of no valid negative concern.

        All necessary systems are Go with a decades worth of tweaking, reinforcing and live field betatesting of readily available assets providing such a confident assurance.

        It is not the emergence and exposure of sensitive corrupted state held secrets which easily crash and burn a future's monumental folly, although they certainly also can, it is the innate ability and virgin facility of spontaneous and unpredictable sharing of novel information about newly uncovered advanced intelligence which can swarm through and decimate established main stream media and fiat currency operations, so very easily delivered and received by billions of electronic devices able to see and hear particular and peculiar tales ..... interesting uncomfortably engaging narratives proving themselves too popular and accurate to summarily try to dismiss and declare as untrue and subversive, for that shoe will be on one's own foot.

        Such is a current ACTive IT and AI Battlefield and Virtual Graveyard for the many Arrogant and Ignorant who never imagined such things as being possible as they ploughed their own selfish greedy furrow in worlds before Sublime InterNetworking Networks for Hearts and Minds Capture.

        Does the UKGBNI MOD see itself engaged in such an experiment/experience as an independent leading role player or more simply just as support staff following orders from/for other state and non-state actors?

        And would the former be tantamount to a Stealthy SMARTR AI Military coup, which is what it can easily be spun as by a blind-sided opposition or right dodgy competition?

        Would that be of an EMPowering Interest to Astute Militarised Organs of Defence into providing NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT Protection to Command and Control of the Virtualised Machine with Commanding Control of Computers and Communications in Epic New COSMIC Realms ….. Advanced IntelAIgent Streams?

        And lest you cannot imagine, things have moved on quite considerably in the space of eighteen months to offer further opportunities for improvement and remote relatively anonymous autonomous deployment even evermore ground breaking and Earth shattering than was available before.

        And, believe it or believe it not, such would be practically a perfect fit for the likes of that program/project from/for Vietnam/ASEAN.

    They've missed the point that by 2025, AI will be old hat and something else new and shiny that doesn't live up to the hype will have taken its place.

    Prey scented.

    Easy government money from politicians that don't know what they are talking about? There will be a few large UK consultancies and outsourcers opening up bank accounts over there soon then.

    If 'AI' is flagged as a major feature of something, it will be bollocks, overpriced and sold to gullible idiots, whilst purveyors of chatbots should be fed to dogs.

      Re: Prey scented ..... and living dangerously on the knife edge of maddening reason

      You don't often hear/see the US Department of Defense/Pentagon being called out as gullible idiots, Tron. Whatever are you on? Take care for it is far too strong. ......... Pentagon should accelerate AI adoption says JAIC Director

      Like it or like it not, AI is a/the major future feature of everything today for tomorrow and of everything tomorrow from today. And there's diddly squat than can be done to either permanently prevent or temporarily halt the Inexorable Progress of Pioneering IntelAIgently Programmed Projects Demonstrating Powerful and Potential Leads/Available Derivative Future Options for Markets Appraisal, Valuation and Remote Relatively Anonymous and Practically Autonomous Realisation/AI Virtualisation ........ which perfectly succinctly explains the likes of a Pentagon Department interest.

      ......

      :-) Another convenient for the client option, and one which would cause a right enigmatic kerfuffle methinks, and much more than just a lot of extremely disruptive and positive business interest, would be an outsourcer and/or consultant's UK bank account accepting notable sizeable transfers of Vietnamese Dong [VND] for confidential proprietary services rendered. Although of course, if the Vietnamese wanted to get rid of their stashes of foreign US dollars instead, that wouldn't be a problem either for such a novel product/virtual service supplier. It's all the same .... just pretty printed paper held as a valuable simple means of exchange for desired and/or necessary goods/services.If one wants/needs more, more is simply printed, although of course now even that is not necessary whenever whatever sums are required can instantly be transferred from a bank A account there to a bank B account here at the click of a mighty mouse. Practical massive wealth transfer was never before so easy.

    AI is hot but they should got for things like Quantum Computing and open data

    AI will need data to be exchanged, ingested and prepared to work from it's not magic, I don;t think AI along will do anything !

    Quantum computing is getting massive investment in China, US and EU, e.g. https://www.theregister.com/2020/12/04/china_quantum_computing/
