The two-day forum also addresses global healthcare challenges. Professor Dr. Dinh Xuan Anh Tuan, Chief of the Department of Physiology and Medicine at Kosan Harris Park Hospital and representative of the Association of Vietnamese Scientists and Experts (AVSE Global), said, “AI is like the air we breathe. It has been with us for some time and will grow more essential. But alongside its tremendous benefits, we must also remain cautious of potential risks.”
