Are you using AI as an assistant or a collaborator?
Many knowledge workers use AI as an assistant, but RMIT Vietnam research suggests they can gain more value by engaging AI as a collaborator that challenges ideas, tests assumptions, and expands perspectives.
The missing link between climate policy and action
Climate goals may begin with governments, but real change depends on millions of everyday decisions. Research from RMIT Vietnam reveals how cities can inspire people to join the journey.
Can AI explain traffic jams?
Dr Pham Viet Hung, an RMIT Vietnam researcher specialising in electronic computer systems and robotics and mechatronics, found that understanding why traffic congestion happens may be just as important as predicting where it will occur.
AI should give nurses more time to care, not replace them
Large language models could help nurses spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients. But according to research from RMIT, their success depends on treating AI as a trusted assistant rather than an autonomous decision-maker.
Gen Z cares about planet. But what really makes them buy green?
RMIT Vietnam researcher Dr Alrence Halibas found that Gen Z may be the most sustainability-conscious generation, but not always the most sustainable shoppers.
Why some AI service apps win trust while others fail
AI-powered service apps promise convenience, yet many struggle to retain users. RMIT Vietnam research reveals why authenticity, not intelligence alone, keeps people coming back.
What drives Vietnamese consumers to adopt electric vehicles?
Vietnam has set ambitious targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with electric vehicles (EVs) expected to play a central role in reducing transport emissions. But what motivates consumers to make the switch?
Vietnam is ageing fast. Are we ready?
RMIT Vietnam researcher Catherine Earl found that many ASEAN countries, including Vietnam, are ageing at a pace that could see them "grow old before they grow rich”.
Can AI truly forget, or does it just pretend to?
Amidst rising AI adoption in Vietnam, research from RMIT University reveals that systems may appear to forget sensitive data but can still recover it under pressure, raising urgent questions for data privacy.
Vietnam's tiny yeasts show big promise for sustainable edible oils
Sugarcane bagasse, pickled mustard greens and salted anchovies have helped RMIT researchers discover promising oil-producing yeasts.
How earthworms could keep old clothes out of landfill
