About AI for Vietnam
AI for Vietnam (AIV) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Vietnamese professionals from the world’s leading technology corporations and prestigious academic institutions. We serve as a bridge between global AI advancements and Vietnam’s growing tech ecosystem, uniting a global network of over Vietnamese experts across the globe to accelerate the nation’s technological progress.
We operate at a unique historic pivot where Vietnam has the opportunity to rise as a creator—not just a follower—in the AI era. Our work is fueled by a global Vietnamese AI talent pool, a domestic workforce with a strong technical foundation, and an eager mindset to innovate.
Our mission is to meet the surging cross-domain demand for AI by:
- Building open, high-quality Vietnamese datasets and benchmarks that span across hundreds of topics and preserve our cultural nuance.
- Developing AI solutions rooted in open innovation and community collaboration.
- Providing open access to AI knowledge and tools for everyone – from students to national organizations.
At AIV, we believe that AI is more than a technological race; it is a cultural mission. We empower the nation to leapfrog traditional development stages, ensuring that AI reflects Vietnamese language, knowledge, culture, and values while contributing to Vietnam’s transformation into a global center of AI excellence.
