The "explosion" of AI technology poses a number of problems in research in this field in Vietnam today, such as ethical and legal standards in new research on AI? AI creates many new jobs, but there are also many lost jobs, so it is necessary to study AI's impact policies to solve labor and employment issues in the development process; How to promote interdisciplinary research on AI in the future?

However, issues related to the impact of AI research and application on society and humans are currently of little concern.
According to the Minister, the influence of AI on society, people, and scientific research is very clear, including both positive and negative aspects. "We see more clearly the necessity of building a legal corridor for the research and application of AI in life," the Minister emphasized. The Minister proposed the functional departments of the Ministry of Science and Technology to organize the development of AI-related science and technology tasks in the field of social sciences and humanities, especially in national science and technology programs.
