Asko Meet AI Platform Tackles Multilingual Meetings and Data Security

The Asko Meet platform, an artificial intelligence solution for multilingual events, has garnered significant attention from domestic and international attendees for its real-time content and translation display. The system allows participants to follow discussions through continuously updated bilingual text on large screens or personal devices, reducing reliance on traditional interpretation booths.

Alexey Burov, Business Development Manager at UK-based Haulmont Technology, praised the experience, particularly as a non-Vietnamese speaker. He noted the system enabled international delegates to follow discussions and speaker exchanges “almost in real time.” After scanning a QR code to access Asko Meet on his smartphone, Mr. Burov was able to follow the entire program via live translations, allowing him to interact seamlessly. Having used numerous AI translation tools, he described the Vietnamese-developed solution as offering a more natural and convenient experience. “Asko Meet delivers content quickly, maintains context well, and provides a comfortable user experience,” he said.

S. Chinpau Ngaihte, Counsellor (Eco, Com & Development Partnership) at the Embassy of India in Vietnam, also commended the platform’s utility in multilingual sessions, stating it made it easier for participants to follow discussions and quickly understand speakers’ key messages.

Vo Thi Trung Trinh, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Transformation Center, said Asko Meet benefits from being a domestic AI solution developed by teams with a deep understanding of the local language and culture. “I observed Vietnamese content being translated into English in real time directly on screen,” Ms. Trinh said. “Both the speed and quality were quite good, with natural language relatively well preserved.” She characterized the platform as a “necessary application that can improve the quality of conferences and meetings today,” adding that rising demand for AI in corporate governance and operations presents strong growth potential for Vietnamese technology firms.

At a technology exhibition where the Askonomy ecosystem and Asko Meet were featured, discussions among experts highlighted data security and sovereignty as primary concerns for enterprise AI deployment. Ms. Trinh noted that while AI adoption for tasks like document summarization, translation, and meeting transcription has become an “inexorable trend,” maintaining control and protection of data remains the “most important consideration.”

Phung Viet Thang, Country Manager of Intel Vietnam, echoed this sentiment. He observed that the value of AI meeting platforms extends beyond automated translation to how conversational data is collected, managed, and utilized. Ensuring secure internal operations and data protection, he said, will remain a “critical challenge” for AI developers.

In response to these concerns, Asko Meet was developed with a “security in mind” approach, designed to give enterprises full control over their data. The platform offers flexible deployment options, including on-premises infrastructure, private cloud, or public cloud environments. Clients can define their own data retention policies, from having no data stored post-meeting to controlled retention based on specific timelines and data types. All data is encrypted during transmission and at rest, and enterprises have the option to manage their own encryption keys. The platform does not use customer data to retrain its AI models without explicit permission and complies with international standards such as ISO 27001 and GDPR, addressing the security needs of organizations handling sensitive information.
