The scientific conference with the theme "ICT training in the AI ​​era" was organized by the University of Information Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) in collaboration with the Vietnam Information and Communication Technology Institutes - Universities - Faculties Club (FISU Vietnam) today, April 19.

Redefining the focus and methods of information technology training

The important academic forum attracted the participation of more than 100 delegates who are scientists, education managers, technology experts, and lecturers from many universities and research institutes across the country, discussing advanced trends in training in information and communication technology (ICT) and AI.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hoang Tu Anh - Principal of the University of Information Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) - emphasized: "The workshop is an opportunity to discuss and answer the questions: Do we still need to train information technology? Should we continue to train programmers? Is that still really necessary in the AI ​​era?".

Ms. Tu Anh said these are concerns not only of training institutions, but also of common concern to society.

Therefore, the school wishes to listen to diverse opinions, in order to redefine the training focus, approach and practical actions to meet the needs of the times.

In the era of AI, the rapid development of technology is posing new requirements for ICT human resource training. It is not only a change in knowledge and skills, but also an innovation in thinking, approach and teaching methods.

"The workshop is a forum for scientists, experts and interested people to present research results, share experiences, and discuss new training models and methods in the era of digital transformation and AI explosion," said Ms. Tu Anh.

Many experts and scientists share new training models and methods in the era of digital transformation and AI explosion.

Leading society towards a sustainable AI future

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Thuy - President of the Vietnam Association of Information Technology, President of FISU Vietnam - also said that AI is profoundly changing every aspect of life, requiring the ICT industry to transform strongly to not only keep up, but also play a leading role in leading society towards a sustainable future of AI application.

"ICT training needs to be reoriented to prepare human resources to promote effective and responsible AI transformation, for a humane and developed society," Mr. Thuy emphasized.

Dr. Nguyen Tan Tran Minh Khang - Vice Principal of the University of Information Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) - evaluated the content of the presentations at the conference as profound and useful from leading experts in the field.

With diverse content, many experts not only stop at sharing knowledge about ICT, but also open up valuable academic dialogues, contributing to reshaping ICT training methods in the AI ​​era. This is an important step in building a sustainable, creative and quickly adaptable educational ecosystem to changes in science and technology .

"We hope that through this event, new ideas and knowledge will be shared, thereby helping us build and develop a strong information technology and artificial intelligence education system, meeting the needs of the labor market in the digital age," said Mr. Khang.

Talk show "AI and exponential technology in the future" attracted many lecturers and students to attend.
