Speaking at the event, Ms. Audi Azoulay - General Director of UNESCO ( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) - shared about AI deeply reshaping our lives, the way we work, learn, connect and interact with each other.
This has put humanity at a historic and important turning point, requiring us to discuss together the orientation of AI ethics, following the values we have always pursued and supported.
The UNESCO Director General affirmed UNESCO's support and hoped that the forum would be an important milestone in the development journey and application of common ethical standards, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra attended and delivered the opening speech, affirming his commitment to cooperation to create a more ethical and fair AI future.
Leaders in their roles need to ensure that AI brings real, comprehensive, sustainable and long-term benefits to everyone.
Representative of Vietnam, businesswoman - Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Sovico Group, Chairwoman of Vietjet Airlines - attended an outstanding discussion session on how technology, policies and innovation can bring good benefits to the community in the AI era with international delegates.
I came here today, not only as a businesswoman managing a digital bank and a global airline, not only as an automated PhD, but first of all - a mother, a person who always believes that technology must be created to serve people, creating a fair and equal world for everyone, for the future of children. We have entered an era of artificial intelligence that is penetrating deeply into every decision, every dream, every life choice of each person, billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao opened her sharing at a meaningful event.
Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao has witnessed millions of Vietjet passengers flying to new lands for the first time with many better opportunities for study, healthcare, and employment. Millions of rural women and students in remote areas have access to digital finance of Vikki digital bank to change their lives.
And now, we are creating equality in AI for everyone to create leverage to popularize equal opportunities in learning, finance, and healthcare.
The billionaire believes that the common good of the whole world must be the fulcrum for all dialogues, policies and innovations in AI technology.
Vietjet Chairman affirmed: "Let's start with people, equality revolves around dignity, human rights to personal happiness - regardless of origin, income, gender or qualifications. Because of this equality, I affirm that there will be no difference in the AI world between me - a successful person, a billionaire with talented Tuk tuk or people on the streets. Therefore, at today's prestigious UNESCO forum, I hope we will talk together not only about AI as a tool, but as a commitment - that AI must always return to the heart of humanity, with fundamental values: compassion, integrity and the desire to create a more just, equal and better world".
Billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao called for joining hands to shape a global vision, where AI develops based on a solid ethical foundation - taking people as the center, taking coverage as the goal and taking trust as the foundation.
As a business, she is committed to accompanying both financially and in terms of resources to promote international initiatives, especially supporting the proposal of "F ur data fairness", helping to provide transparent, united, and multilingual data for AI training to serve the community, especially in developing countries.
more importantly, AI policies need to put vulnerable people at the center so that no one is left behind due to gender, circumstances or geography. I call on today's Forum to expand policy space for women, girls and disadvantaged communities - not only beneficiaries but also co-creators of the digital future.
From here, I and my businesses such as Vietjet, HDBank, Vikki Bank... commit to taking strong action for a world where technology is not only smart but also humane - where AI is not only programmed by algorithms, but also guided by human values, billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao shared her strong message and commitment to the forum.
Accompanying UNESCO and the United Nations as strategic partners, Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao and her businesses have carried out many meaningful activities and programs for the community, sustainable development, especially in the fields of culture, education, science and creativity, supporting women and children...
Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao's inspiring speech at today's Forum once again demonstrated a strong commitment of a businessman towards the community with strong ethics and capacity in the new technology era.
