In late July 2026, Vietnamese authorities announced a broad AI rollout aimed at both education and city management. Ho Chi Minh City launched the “AI for Citizens” program, targeting 2 million residents with AI literacy training by 2030, while Hanoi expanded its smart‑traffic system with thousands of AI‑enabled cameras and LED displays to optimise traffic flow. By early August, Ho Chi Minh City police had built on the earlier initiatives by expanding a network of roughly 2,000 AI‑powered surveillance cameras across central districts and major roads. The system automatically detects traffic violations and supports public‑order monitoring. The enhanced surveillance capability was also employed in a criminal investigation that led to the arrest of 17 individuals linked to an illegal football‑betting operation. ~~Together, the snapshots illustrate a rapid progression from the introduction of AI‑focused public‑service programs to their operational use~~ No further AI‑related developments have been reported in ~~law‑enforcement and urban management within Vietnam’s major cities.~~ the period covered.
