This news was announced on a trip of Jeff Dean, one of the co-founders of Google Brain, who is taking on the elevated role of chief scientist for both Google Research and Google DeepMind to Fulbright University Vietnam today.
This funding will enhance AI education at Fulbright, in collaboration with the strategic partner New Turing Institute – a leading AI training, research, and startup center in Vietnam. The grant aims to support promising research programs for faculty, maximize research opportunities for students through scholarships, and foster collaboration in AI amongst Vietnam-located universities.
