On the occasion of Vietnamese Women's Day, Pham Thi Xuan, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Development and Digital Economy under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations, discussed the opportunities and obstacles faced by women in pioneering technology during the age of artificial intelligence.

Mrs. Pham Thi Xuan, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Development and Digital Economy under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations, shared her nearly 30-year technology journey, the challenges faced by female intellectuals, and opportunities in digital transformation. Xuan emphasized that leadership capacity is determined not by gender, but by the practical values created for society.

Stating that research organizations should focus on the ability to solve economic problems, Xuan expressed that artificial intelligence offers significant advantages for small businesses, cooperatives, and production facilities by reducing costs in areas such as agricultural product promotion, customer service, and market research. It was conveyed that the institute focuses on applying artificial intelligence in business management, data management, and branding.

Stating that women working in the technology sector face pressure to balance work and family life, Xuan noted that creating equal opportunities in education and access to resources is essential. Expressing that women should focus on expertise and responsibility rather than trying to prove they are different, Xuan stated that given the right environment, women are capable of mastering technology and leading innovative projects.
