The workshop was attended by representatives from CET-related regulatory agencies, universities, associations, and businesses in the southern region. Dr. Ha Minh Hiep, STAMEQ Acting Director General, and Mr. Ciaran Chestnutt, Acting Consul-General of Australia in Ho Chi Minh City, delivered opening remarks at the event.
Recognizing the importance of CET, over the past two years, STAMEQ has collaborated with Standards Australia to conduct study on the overall landscape of CET standards in Vietnam, then developed a specific action plan to promote CET national standardization efforts. At the event, delegates listened to the presentation of the proposed action plan and shared different perspectives and recommendations to improve its feasibility. The seminar also held a panel discussion on the current use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the role of international standards in ensuring responsible and ethical AI use. Experts shared experiences in enhancing the application of international standards in AI management and gave suggestions on AI standardization in Viet Nam.
