The book supports AI applications in education

This is an essential handbook for teachers, parents, and students in the era of artificial intelligence.

In less than two years, artificial intelligence – once considered the technology of the future – has become ubiquitous: from corporate boardrooms to high school classrooms, from university bookshelves to a 7th grader’s phone. ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini… are no longer strange names.

Many students have started to turn to AI to solve math problems, write essays, and create presentation slides. Many schools have applied AI to design lectures and assess students' learning ability.

In that context, the book “AI in Action – A Comprehensive Revolution in Education” by author Liu Wen Yong was born as a scientific and accessible guide – for anyone interested in the future of schooling in the AI era.

This is one of the first books in Vietnam to comprehensively analyze the practical impact of AI on learning, teaching, testing and assessment; the shifting roles of teachers, parents and students in a new learning ecosystem; models of AI application in education in China, the US, Singapore, South Korea... And especially: specific instructions for each group of people in education to respond to this change - not only with technological knowledge, but also with flexible thinking and companionship capacity.

For parents, the book helps them understand what AI is – a tool that is both magical and potentially dangerous, and that requires proper guidance. The author suggests a question-based approach – where parents don’t necessarily need to be tech-savvy, but need to learn how to guide their child’s thinking: “Do you understand why AI gave that answer?”, “Can you think of a better way to do it?”, “If AI didn’t exist, what would you do?”

For teachers, the book provides concrete application examples: from using AI to prepare lesson plans, personalize learning paths, create tests, to designing highly interactive lessons - where the teacher's role is not to "know a lot" but to "suggest correctly".

The book also does not forget to put teachers at the center of change: if education is a train on the move, then teachers are the ones coordinating that journey – not the ones left behind on the platform.

For students – who are expected to benefit the most from AI – the book makes it clear that for Gen Z, Alpha, AI is not “something new” – it is “obvious”. But that very obviousness carries a risk: the misconception that AI is the absolute truth, the final answer. The book guides students on how to use AI as an assistant, not as a lifesaver.

Not stopping at the three main groups of people in education, the book also devotes a significant amount of attention to educational administrators and policy makers. Because if teachers need to change the classroom, educators need to change the whole system.

The book proposes AI application models at the management level: from building learning data systems, monitoring student progress, automatic grading, to planning competency-based learning programs instead of fixed programs.

Using examples from China, the United States, South Korea, and Singapore—countries that have implemented AI-infused education at the primary level—the author offers an objective perspective on the real opportunities and limitations. This is not an invitation to run after technology, but a reminder: if we don’t start today, education will be left behind by the very generation it is meant to lead.
