The program Meet the Experts with the topic of Positioning yourself in the digital age - Who controls AI? recently organized by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City National University analyzed, suggested, and oriented the necessary skills for each person, especially the youth - the main force of the labor market in the near future.
Pressure and opportunities from AI
In the context of AI becoming an important driving force of digital transformation, experts have analyzed so that each person clearly understands their role in the face of strong changes in technology.

According to the speakers, humans can only calculate up to 5 digits in their minds, while an “enter” button can check thousands of documents, millions of poetry collections, literary works, etc. Obviously, humans are completely inferior in terms of weighing and measuring, but AI does not “evolve” if we do not enter input. Humans have natural evolution and adaptation, especially for Vietnamese people, with extremely good adaptability. We have a mechanism for self-learning and self-upgrading, and importantly, the knowledge we learn has emotions in it.
Deputy General Director of ASEAN Carbon Credit Exchange Joint Stock Company Nguyen Vo Truong An commented: Actually, AI is not new, about 15-20 years ago, AI appeared in the world . Technically, AI can be divided into two main types: machine learning (machine learning) algorithm model that when we provide it with input data, it will "run" the results as desired; and a more advanced model is AI that generates, finds data, upgrades itself..., thanks to which the quality of AI tasks will evolve every day.
According to Mr. Truong An, in general, all AI models in the world today depend on the following factors: data provided by humans to AI, allowing AI to access it; creating AI thinking - algorithms; goals set by humans. In addition, AI needs electricity to operate, needs water to cool. Therefore, technically, it is clear that humans master AI, but the question is how to master it to achieve the best results.
Gearing up for the digital age
At the Expert Meeting Program with the topic of Positioning Yourself in the Digital Age - Who is Mastering AI?, the speakers also analyzed career trends, recruitment requirements and necessary skills for young people to adapt to the digital environment. Accordingly, each young person needs to identify and prove their role at each time.

According to Mr. Nguyen Vo Truong An, once you have determined your role and oriented your desires, the next step is to have skills in the AI era. Currently, AI has many tools for many purposes such as: AI translation, AI design, AI for automatic video and image production, etc. These AI tools and applications help improve work efficiency, so each person needs to cultivate the necessary skills to master AI.
Giving an example comparing TikTok and Ted Talk, Master Pham Cong Nhat, Director of Communications for DOL English, said: With TikTok, people watch short video clips and care about factors such as whether they are viral, whether they are hot, whether the content is silly or funny. Those video clips make us not think, not think, and from there our brains gradually "rot" and "atrophy". Meanwhile, Ted Talk has profound content, makes viewers think, "turn the problem upside down"... so it helps listeners practice critical thinking, which is what employers care about.
At the above forum, the speakers also mentioned the necessary skills that young people need to equip themselves with right now. According to the speakers’ suggestions, young people need to read a lot of books because reading books brings many benefits, helps to concentrate better, helps to develop language, helps to develop brain neurons…
Sharing about practicing reading skills in the context of a busy modern society, Mr. Nguyen Vo Truong An said: He himself often listens to audiobooks. He takes advantage of listening to books while traveling on the road, doing housework... to listen to books, thereby approaching new thinking, updating information on innovation and creativity in the world. That is the way to help him survive, change and develop himself.
The more human "survival"
Although AI can do many things such as: translation, controlling machines, equipment, accessing big data sources... but according to Mr. Nguyen Vo Truong An, professions that are innovative and optimized will not be replaced by AI. Because the entire thinking about innovation, identifying old processes, changing them with new processes and optimizing resources can only be done by humans. Only humans with human thinking, thinking, and experience can "try" and "fail", propose new things...
Discussing job opportunities for young people in the digital age, Master Pham Cong Nhat emphasized: In the AI era of calculation and analysis with just one enter button, the more human skills we have, the more we will "survive".
Obviously, AI is just a supporting tool, it cannot replace thinking, experience and human values. Young people need to be equipped with digital thinking, professional skills and the ability to properly apply technology to create advantages in today's labor market.
Depends on each person's perception Question: Why are such "luxurious, classy, and smooth" social networks "free"? Master PHAM CONG NHAT, Director of Communications DOL English, explains: Social networks collect information, analyze user data, and then "manipulate" behavioral habits and make money by understanding users. Social networks are not good or bad, but depend on the user's perception. Those who understand and "use" it will receive many outstanding things. For those who do not understand, social networks will be "addictive", thereby causing them to lose many soft skills, meaning that social networks "use" them. The story of who "uses" who, first of all, depends on each person's perception... |
