On November 4, 2024, the GBA held its monthly business meeting at New World Saigon Hotel, attracting over 90 attendees. The session, led by GBA Board member Mr. Dirk Arend, featured three keynote speakers: Dr. Hung Le Minh, AI Expert at Bosch Global Software and Technologies Vietnam, Mr. Ludovic Toison, Chief Technology Officer at NFQ Vietnam, and Mr. Gia Thi Nguyen, Vice-President Market Impact, APJ of SAP Signavio.
The event brought together industry leaders to share their insights on strategies for accelerating business growth and operational efficiency with AI. Key topics included real-world examples of AI adoption across various sectors, emerging AI technologies and their potential disruptions, and practical insights on how AI can automate tasks, identify process improvements, and uncover actionable insights. The session also highlighted local AI success stories, challenges, and best practices in Vietnam.
A survey showing 65% of organizations now use generative AI, nearly double from last year. Major tech companies are heavily investing in AI, with Microsoft’s sales up 16% to $65.6 billion, driven by $20 billion in AI and cloud infrastructure. Studies indicate that AI enhances worker productivity and output quality, enabling faster task completion and improving work quality, highlighting its potential to bridge skill gaps among workers.
Additionally, the session highlighted emerging trends and observations in the field of AI. Failures in AI projects are similar to those in other projects, and ecosystems are key. The mix of technologies and approaches needs to be decided based on context. The value of AI can be found everywhere, but value realization depends on people’s focus
The session was characterized by dynamic interaction, with participants eagerly exchanging views and envisioning future prospects. The GBA extends heartfelt thanks to the keynote speakers and all participants for their invaluable contributions, which greatly contributed to the event’s success.
