+# 8Opt — Building a Society for AI in Vietnam
+
+**8Opt** is more than a playground. It’s a thought lab where algorithms meet imagination, and where science meets culture.
+Born in Vietnam, 8Opt explores how artificial intelligence can grow *with* society — not apart from it.
+
+We believe AI is not just a tool or a technology. It’s a mirror of human reasoning, learning, and creativity.
+Our mission is to understand how individuals and organizations — the two fundamental layers of every society — think, learn, and evolve together, and how intelligence can emerge from that harmony.
+
+
+## Our Approach
+
+We build, break, and rebuild.
+We explore ideas before they are proven.
+We welcome prototypes that fail gracefully and hypotheses that challenge assumptions.
+
+8Opt is a collaborative space for:
+
+* Experimental AI algorithms
+* Research on collective and social intelligence
+* Open projects that blend art, data, and design
+* Explorations of cultural and human-centered AI
+
+
+## Contribute
+
+This lab grows through curiosity and collaboration.
+No contribution is too small, and no idea is too unconventional.
+
+If you care about shaping how AI understands and collaborates with people — especially from Vietnam’s perspective — you’re already part of 8Opt.
