Multi-business giant Vingroup has announced the establishment of Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, which will be led by a former Google specialist.

VinAI Research Institute will study fundamental science issues in artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning, deep learning, image and video processing and user interaction.

The institute aims to build a core force of leading AI experts, especially young ones, for Vingroup in particular and for Vietnam in general.

The institute is led by Dr Bui Hai Hung, a former senior specialist of Google DeepMind.
