CIO Techcombank on the hot seat "A.I Real combat": taking advantage of A.I to solve practical problems

Sitting in the hot seat of episode 4 "A.I real combat", Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan emphasized that the products presented in this group have shown the real combat capabilities of the teams. If provided with more data and time, the initiatives will have higher depth and applicableity. The important thing is that the teams have demonstrated a good working mindset, knowing how to take advantage of AI tools to solve problems not only within the framework of the competition, but also in practice.

From the perspective of a technology expert, he believes that to effectively solve an AI problem, it takes four steps: collect data, analyze data, propose solutions and complete reports. In which, the first two steps play a key role, deciding the quality of the solution and the final result. AI can help us analyze in-depth data, recognizing blind spots that humans find difficult to cover. Thanks to that, businesses can provide comprehensive solutions and make more accurate decisions for their business activities, Mr. Tuan added.

Improving AI application capacity in key areas

A recent report by AWS'Strand Partners 2025 said that the rate of AI application in enterprises in Vietnam is increasing rapidly at a rate of 39% per year. Nearly 170,000 businesses in Vietnam have applied AI and 77% of these expect AI to help increase revenue within the next year. Accordingly, technology becomes a launching pad for the overall development of businesses. Any business that has a practical mindset and proactively manages data in this developing AI era will certainly win and master the business game, Mr. Tuan added.

As a co-organizer and exclusive sponsor of the A.I Real Estate contest, Techcombank not only provides financial support but also creates conditions to realize the goal of developing and applying AI in all activities according to the national orientation of artificial intelligence. Right at Techcombank and the One Mount Group & Masterise Group ecosystem, AI is not only for engineers or data specialists. We encourage all staff to learn and apply technology to their daily work, because different thinking is a vital factor in the AI era, Mr. Tuan affirmed.

Accordingly, the A.I Real combat contest is an opportunity for audiences nationwide to access, experience and directly collide with problems from reality. This is also the first step to form the capacity to apply AI in key areas such as finance - banking, education, healthcare or trade. Thereby contributing to realizing the national goal of digital transformation, making Vietnam a center for innovation and data in the region, while attracting and nurturing AI talent, creating an environment for AI ideas "make in Vietnam" to develop and apply in practice.

Investing in the generation of Vietnamese AI talents is a high priority of the Bank

Along with the "Miracle" award announced by Techcombank, which is an international AI scholarship of up to 1 million USD for the winning team, Techcombank and the ecosystem continue to affirm that "talent" is one of the three important pillars. As a leading ecosystem in Vietnam that pioneers technology and leads digital transformation in the whole industry, we always believe in the creativity, progressive spirit and learning ability of Vietnamese people. The young generation of Vietnam is in the best condition to master knowledge as well as new trends in the world, thereby aiming to master new technology, and we hope to accompany you on that journey, Mr. Tuan emphasized.

Under the direction of the Ministry of Public Security, A.I Real combat jointly organized by the National Data Center, the National Data Association, Vietnam Television and Techcombank, is considered the first national AI competition on national television. The contest is part of a series of important activities in the journey to turn Vietnam into a center for AI innovation in the region, through the discovery and nurturing of young talents, promoting the spirit of "Make in Vietnam" in the economy. Accordingly, AI will only be truly valuable when it is mastered by Vietnamese people and applied to solve problems of Vietnamese people. Therefore, investing in young talents and technology startups is not only investing in technology, but also investing in the future of the country in the digital age.
