Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a useful tool in addressing major challenges faced by Vietnam and the world.

• Addressing Challenges: AI supports issues such as climate change, urban management, and an aging population.

• Practical Applications: The petition feedback system in Tay Ninh automatically collects and processes citizens' opinions through an online portal.

• Benefits: Improves public services and enhances government management efficiency.

• Challenges: Lack of financial resources, legal framework, and quality data.

• Solutions: The government needs to develop specific strategies to improve data quality and oversee AI implementation, collaborating with UNDP in the AIRA program.

• The world's first Artificial Intelligence Act was passed by the European Union (EU) Parliament on March 13, 2024.
