TĂNG TRƯỞNG KINH TẾ TRONG KỶ NGUYÊN TRÍ TUỆ NHÂN TẠO: VAI TRÒ CỦA NĂNG SUẤT, QUẢN TRỊ VÀ TẠO LẬP GIÁ TRỊ

The rise of the digital economy and artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the logic of global economic growth. In this era, the decisive role of capital accumulation and labor expansion is gradually declining, giving way to increased productivity, knowledge, and quality of governance becoming the central drivers of longterm growth. For Vietnam, the new context demands a structural shift in the growth model from extensive to intensive, from relying on resource exploitation to relying on the endogenous capabilities of businesses and the economy. This paper constructs an integrated analytical framework between AI, productivity, and growth based on modern economics; while also combining an analysis of Vietnamese business practices in the period 2021-2025. The research results show that AI does not inherently generate economic growth. AI only truly becomes a growth driver when integrated into a new development model in which governance plays a constructive role; Innovation plays a transformative role; and productivity is a measurable core economic outcome. Based on this, the article clarifies the operational logic of growth in the AI era and affirms that governance quality and innovation capacity determine the ability to transform technological potential into sustainable economic efficiency. These conclusions contribute to providing a theoretical basis for the process of reforming Vietnam's growth model in the new development phase, where growth is no longer primarily assessed by scale expansion, but by the capacity to create long-term value.
