Điện Biên to host “AI Day” to promote technology and innovation

ĐBP - On the morning of April 29, the Điện Biên provincial Party Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization, in coordination with the provincial Department of Science and Technology, held a press conference to announce the upcoming “AI Day” in Điện Biên and provide updates on the implementation of Resolution No.57-NQ/TW, dated December 22, 2024, by the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

To implement Resolution No.57-NQ/TW and create a meaningful tech playground for the community, especially among youths, the provincial Department of Science and Technology is working with the Department of Education and Training, STEAM for Vietnam, and other partners to organize “AI Day” on May 6.

A representative of the provincial Party Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization speaks at the press conference.

This event will bring together local agencies, organizations, businesses, technology experts, teachers, students, and youth to experience the latest advancements in AI and digital technologies. It is part of the media campaign titled “Điện Biên Phủ Campaign - The AI Coverage Journey,” aimed at raising awareness, encouraging innovative thinking, and closing development gaps across localities.

AI Day will feature six main activities: Opening ceremony and launch of the “AI Coverage Journey” and “Digital Literacy Movement”; presentations of outstanding GenAI (generative AI) products by five top teachers; summary of the “New Generation AI Applications” training course; inauguration of the STEAM Hub Technology Library at the provincial Ethnic Boarding High School; interactive AI and tech product experiences at the STEAM for Vietnam exhibition booths; and media engagement activities to extend AI awareness and usage.

A leader of the Điện Biên Phủ Newspaper addresses challenges in AI implementation and calls for stronger coordination.

AI Day is not only a communication initiative but also marks a major milestone as Điện Biên becomes the first province nationwide to complete AI literacy training for 100% of its teachers.

Over the past period, Điện Biên has seriously implemented leadership documents from the central government to promote science, technology, and digital governance. All provincial departments are now connected via the government’s dedicated data transmission network, ensuring seamless online conferencing from province to commune level.

A leader of the provincial Radio and Television contributes ideas at the briefing.

The provincial data center has adopted cloud computing technologies, providing a centralized, secure platform to manage the province’s shared applications and digital infrastructure.

At the press conference, media representatives expressed excitement over Điện Biên’s progress, especially in achieving full AI coverage among teachers. They suggested further outreach to broader target groups and called for better interagency communication to share success stories and strengthen AI capacity building across sectors.

The Director of the provincial Department of Science and Technology answers questions from the media.

Concluding the event, representatives from the Information and Education and Mass Mobilization Commissions called on provincial media outlets, including the Điện Biên Phủ Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television, to create dedicated features promoting AI Day and documenting implementation results of Resolution No.57. The commissions emphasized the importance of highlighting exemplary models in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.
