HO CHI MINH CITY -- Vietnam's VNG plans to roll out a ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence service tailored for speakers of Vietnamese as the gaming company, which hopes to list in the U.S., searches for a new cash cow.
The tech unicorn, backed by Tencent and Alibaba's Ant Group, already has a chat app that is more popular in its home market than Facebook and recently expanded it with a translation function. VNG said it next will add a generative AI feature, which could allow users to do everything from writing emails to finding answers to queries.
