Vietnam aims to develop 10,000 highly qualified artificial intelligence (AI) professionals by 2030, including researchers, engineers and experts capable of researching, developing, mastering and managing advanced AI systems. At least 1,500 of them will be capable of researching and mastering core AI technologies.

The goal is part of a National Program on AI Human Resources Development through 2030, with a vision to 2035, which has been approved under Prime Ministerial Decision No.1528/QD-TTg, signed on August 11 by Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau.

Under the program, Vietnam aims to provide learners, workers and management personnel with widespread knowledge and skills to use AI safely and effectively by 2030.

The country will also provide new training, retraining and advanced training for at least 50,000 university graduates and above, equipping them with AI application capabilities in key sectors.

The program seeks to establish advanced AI training centers, programs and research groups capable of training high-quality AI professionals, developing core AI technologies, attracting international experts and participating more deeply in regional and global AI development networks.

By 2030, Vietnam aims to rank among the region’s leading countries in AI human resources, with a safe, reliable and responsible ecosystem for AI training, research, application and governance. This is expected to contribute directly to labor productivity, innovation, public service quality and national competitiveness while safeguarding national interests in the AI era.
