Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh, Chairman of CMC Corporation, presented the appointment decision to the new Vice Principal.

Speaking at the appointment ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Quynh said that as a pioneer university in the AI University model, CMC University needs to determine priorities in implementing this model, based on feasibility in terms of technology, engineering and funding.

According to him, the next step is to update AI technology into existing training programs, build question banks, apply AI tools to lesson development and personalize learning experiences, and analyze big data to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Quynh also said that AI has now developed to a high level, new generation AI platforms such as generative AI and modern embedded graph technologies,... have been born and many tools have been published open source for exploitation and use.

The new Vice Principal of the school also believes that it is necessary to take steps to integrate artificial intelligence into school activities. First, it is necessary to update AI technology into the existing training program, training AI in line with the development of developed countries in the world . Then, we will move towards exploiting new-generation AI platforms (such as generative AI and modern embedded graph technologies, etc.) to apply to the learning, teaching, assessment, student experience and other activities.

Commenting on the current application of AI in universities, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Quynh said that this activity takes place in a variety of ways and at different levels depending on each school. However, most of it is on the scale of small research groups and has not been clearly demonstrated on the overall scale of universities.

CMC University focuses on investing in facilities and technology infrastructure for the AI University model.

In addition, CMC University, a member of CMC Group, with outstanding technological capabilities and advantages in financial resources, human resources, data and digital infrastructure such as data centers, cloud computing, blockchain, etc., will create advantages in the process of applying AI to training, management and operations.

Also at the event, Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh, Chairman of CMC Group, Chairman of CMC University Council affirmed: "AI University does not only mean that CMC University trains AI technology but also applies all the advantages of AI in all school activities. This is a long process and needs to start with changing everyone's awareness."

Previously, on July 22, 2024, CMC University officially announced the implementation of the AI University training model, committing to applying technology and AI to operations, teaching, and enhancing student experience. In the first phase, CMC will focus on investing in technology infrastructure and solutions using the Group's own technological capabilities as well as through cooperation with major CMC partners such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Intel, and Synopsys.

Along with that, AI capacity training for lecturers and staff is also focused. CMC students will be trained and guided to use AI as a powerful support tool for responsible learning and research, ensuring academic integrity.
