On December 26, 2025, Khanh Hoa University convened a thematic seminar titled “Khanh Hoa Proudly Contributes to Building an Artificial Intelligence Society with the World”—a timely academic forum aligned with national and provincial priorities on science and technology development, innovation, and international integration in education and training. Held in Lecture Hall 1, the event gathered university leadership, heads of training programs, faculty members, and a large number of students to discuss how Khanh Hoa can strengthen its role in shaping an AI-enabled future grounded in knowledge, responsibility, and global cooperation.
The seminar featured Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), as the keynote speaker. In opening remarks, Mr. Van Ngoc Sen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the University Council, underscored the workshop’s practical significance amid rapid digital transformation and deepening international integration. He reaffirmed Khanh Hoa University’s ambition to become a “smart and green” institution—accelerating digital transformation, promoting scientific research and entrepreneurship, expanding STEM/STEAM education, and strengthening international partnerships to develop high-quality human resources for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Highlighting the academic and real-world value of the book “Artificial Intelligence Society: 30 Years of Vietnam–US Partnership, from Nha Trang to Boston (1995–2025)”, Mr. Van Ngoc Sen praised the work for documenting milestones of cooperation while inspiring innovation, creativity, and civic aspiration. He also expressed appreciation for Nguyen Anh Tuan—a son of Khanh Hoa—for connecting global knowledge networks, advancing human-centered AI values, and motivating younger generations to contribute to local development.
Through dialogue and presentations, the seminar aimed to deepen understanding of AI, innovation, and international collaboration, and to encourage faculty and students to engage confidently in Khanh Hoa’s development journey as part of the AI World Society (AIWS) vision. In his remarks, Nguyen Anh Tuan highlighted how Khanh Hoa helped nurture his ideas and talents that later shaped the AI World Society (AIWS) model, and he expressed his deep, enduring gratitude to Nha Trang–Khanh Hoa, his beloved hometown. He emphasized that Khanh Hoa can contribute to the AI Age not only by adopting technology, but also by cultivating talent, strengthening ethical foundations, and building an open, globally connected academic ecosystem.
The seminar concluded with a shared sense of purpose: to promote learning, research, and innovation; to strengthen international cooperation; and to affirm Khanh Hoa University’s role in training high-quality human resources that proactively serve the province’s socio-economic development in the era of digital transformation.
