Vietnam Sets Ambitious Goals in New National Industrial Policy But Can It Stay Competitive?

vietnam-briefing.com

  • Vietnam’s new industrial policy, Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW outlines big goals and solutions to boost industrialization in Vietnam, notably with the ambition to be among the top ASEAN economies in terms of industrial competitiveness.
  • Looking at the current top-performing industries, Vietnam is well on track to achieve its goals
  • However, more needs to be done if the country wants to remain competitive in the future, especially with the advent of Industry 4.0.

In September 2020, the Vietnamese government issued an action plan implementing Resolution No 23/NQ/TW, which sets out a national industrial policy until 2030 with a vision towards 2045. The resolution was first signed in March 2018.

Syrian refugees could regain legal identities that were lost when they fled their homes.

A few times a month, Bassam pushes a shopping cart through the aisles of a grocery store stocked with bags of rice, a small selection of fresh vegetables, and other staples. Today he’s wearing a black sweater tucked into denim jeans, which are themselves tucked into calf-high boots caked in mud. The Tazweed Supermarket, where he’s shopping, is on the periphery of a 75,000-person refugee camp in the semi-arid Jordanian steppe, six and a half miles from the Syrian border.

Military applications of Artificial Intelligent

thebulletin

Advances in artifcial intelligence (AI), deep-learning, and robotics are enabling new military capabilities that will have a disruptive impact on military strategies. The effects of these capabilities will be felt across the spectrum of military requirements – from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to offense/defense balances and even on to nuclear weapons systems themselves.

In this package, five top experts in AI and its potential uses in autonomous weapons and sensing systems weigh in on the moral and practical challenges of managing the explosion of military AI research and development around the world. The goal: to keep fast-paced advances in machine learning from sparking a worldwide AI arms race that poses a new existential risk to humanity.

The promise of AI—including its ability to improve the speed and accuracy of everything from logistics and battlefield planning to human decision making—is driving militaries around the world to accelerate research and development. Here’s why.

The average productivity was $3,360 in 2015

The report pointed out that 74 percent of workers in the manufacturing & processing industry are expected to be replaced by robots. The figure is higher than the 54 percent of the Philippines, 58 percent of Thailand and 67 percent of Indonesia.

“Vietnam’s manufacturing and processing industry has low performance, and workers in the industry do not undergo intensive training. They mostly do assembling or simple work which can be replaced by machines,” the report said. Tiếp tục đọc “Most workers in manufacturing in danger of being eliminated”

lexology_If you’re reading this, the chances are that you will have come across the concept of Artificial Intelligence in your prior researches. Like most issues “du jour“, a lot has been written on the topic which falls into two categories – material either presupposes a level of prior computer- science based knowledge or; more commonly is thinly disguised salesware which doesn’t convey a lot.

SMART WHAT? THÔNG MINH CÁI GÌ?

Chào các bạn,

Các kế hoạch dễ làm nhất, và có lẽ là ngu dốt nhất, thường do các cụ ngồi trong văn phòng vẽ ra, và bắt mọi người làm theo. Kiểu như kế hoạch chỉ một con của Trung quốc, tạo ra biết bao nhiêu thảm sát cho các bào thai và các bé sơ sinh gái, cùng bao nhiêu bất hạnh cho các bé lỡ được sinh ra sau em bé đầu tiên. Hay kế hoạch xây dựng dự án mới của các quý vị phe ta tạo ra bao cuộc biểu tình chống đối về đất đai của người dân, hay phá hủy rừng nguyên sinh và môi trường sinh thái của các loài động vật và thực vật quý hiếm nhiều nơi trong nước.

Các bạn, nếu chúng ta ngồi trong văn phòng, nhìn bản đồ và các con số để làm kế hoạch, thì thực sự đó chẳng là kế hoạch, mà đó là học trò tập làm kế hoạch lần đầu tiên trong lớp. Bất kỳ học sinh nào trên thế giới cũng biết dùng các con số và toán để làm kế hoạch, không cần kế hoạch gia. Tiếp tục đọc “SMART WHAT? THÔNG MINH CÁI GÌ?”
