Vietnam business leaders prefer AI hiring more than global average, Microsoft reports
(VOVWORLD) - Around 91% of Vietnamese business leaders are considering hiring for artificial intelligence (AI)-specific roles, surpassing the global average by 13 percentage points, according to Microsoft Vietnam’s latest report released last Thursday.
The “2025 Work Trend Index” — based on a survey of 31,000 people across 31 countries, including Vietnam — reveals that Vietnamese companies are at the forefront of AI adoption in the workplace.
When asked about integrating AI agents into teams as digital collaborators over the next 12 to 18 months, 95% of Vietnamese business leaders expressed above-average confidence—the highest among all surveyed markets.
Microsoft noted that many Vietnamese leaders see 2025 as a pivotal year to reassess corporate strategies and operations. Some 91% of surveyed leaders are considering hiring for AI-related roles as (compared to) 78% globally. The report also found that AI startups in Vietnam are recruiting at twice the pace of major tech firms.
