Saigon International University (SIU) emphasizes early technology exposure for its students, enabling them to engage in research, product development, and AI application throughout their academic journey. Building on this vision, the SIU Data and Artificial Intelligence Center (SIU AI Lab) was established. It serves as a hub where students can transform their ideas into reality, execute practical projects, and explore emerging technological trends.

The SIU AI Lab provides opportunities for students to engage with artificial intelligence (AI), data science, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. This is achieved through real-world projects integrated into their learning and research processes.

Under the guidance of experienced faculty, experts, and researchers, students participate in all stages of project development, from initial concept generation to final product completion.

This hands-on approach helps students cultivate research thinking, analytical capabilities, and problem-solving skills. Such training is widely emphasized by universities globally in the technology sector.

The collaboration among students, faculty, experts, and businesses enhances the practical relevance of activities at SIU AI Lab. By addressing real-world problems, students gain a deeper understanding of how technology generates value for communities and enterprises. This experience helps them define their career paths, build professional portfolios, and prepare for the post-graduation job market.

A prominent project at SIU AI Lab is SIUBOT, a social interaction robot integrating AI and robotics. Beyond being a research product, SIUBOT functions as a "living laboratory", allowing students to experience how an AI system is designed, operated, and continuously improved in real-world scenarios.

Additionally, students engage in various projects involving chatbots, image recognition, data analysis, and learning support solutions. Each project provides an opportunity to experience the entire product research and development process, from ideation to practical implementation.

According to a university representative, SIU AI Lab is instrumental in cultivating an environment where students develop innovative thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and adaptability to technological advancements. This foundation equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to confidently enter the AI-driven job market.

For 2026, SIU is admitting students to several programs: Information Technology (with specializations in: Information Technology, medical information technology, microchip design, graphic design); Computer Science (with specializations in: artificial intelligence, big data systems, software engineering, computer networks & information security); and Educational Technology.

Furthermore, SIU offers a scholarship policy providing 50% of the total tuition fee for children of staff working in the healthcare and education sectors, provided they enroll in the Educational Technology program or the medical information technology specialization.
