Artificial intelligence

According to experts, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently a race of domestic and foreign technology giants. AI has the potential to be applied in all areas of life, so it is not surprising that leading technology companies in the world as well as in the country have invested a lot (people, computing infrastructure) in building large-scale AI centers. From there, they will research and develop unique application products to affirm their position on the technology map of the world.
Although they have quickly grasped the trend of AI technology, most of the leading technology companies still face many difficulties in developing high-quality human resources, experts and AI engineers. In order to get quality human resources, many technology companies have a lot of regimes and incentives to attract experts in the field of AI.
According to some of the latest reports in 2021 on the IT market in Vietnam, the salary of an AI engineer is the position with the highest average monthly salary among IT engineers, reaching 3,054 USD (about 70 million VND). twice the salary of Big Data engineers, about 2 times more than Backend engineers or game programmers, 9.5 times more than IT Helpdesk positions. In the list of 10 IT positions with the highest monthly salary, AI engineer salary ranks 7th, only after the top 6 positions belong to management levels and technology architects. Currently, the position with the highest average monthly salary is CTO, CIO with 5,776 USD (about 132 million VND).
