Learn more about ChatGPT

“The appearance of ChatGPT shows what needs to be learned, especially for domestic information technology (IT) enterprises?” - the question of reader B.... trang977@gmail.com was specifically answered by Mr. Ha Than, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Information Technology Association: For ChatGPT to appear, there needs to be big investors like Elon Musk, Microsoft to make data and pay the team of experts (in billions of USD). In addition, there are lessons that businesses can learn from ChatGPT. That is the algorithm, providing typical domestic data sets, serving specific problems such as the content of legal documents, health, education ...

Reader Vu Khanh (Tan Dinh ward, District 1) asked: "Do state management agencies need to have open and new thinking about AI application products, specifically with ChatGPT, especially the legal corridor in this field?". Mr. Ha Than replied: The legal corridor is quite complete, for example, regulations on user data must be stored in Vietnam, information about user identification, user question and answer content... Thus, when a user posts unwanted content with ChatGPT on social networks, it can still be traced. Also according to current law, end users are responsible for the content when posting on social networks, and cannot blame ChatGPT. Raising the issue of tight control of AI (or ChatGPT) is neither advisable nor possible.

Coming to the exchange program, Mr. Huy Nguyen, CEO of KardiaChain, received many questions related to ChatGPT. Reader Mai Binh Trong ( Dong Nai province) asked: "Can you explain why ChatGPT has caused a "fever" in the community recently and why it has only now raised a series of issues about AI, ethics, copyright...?".

In response to the above question, Mr. Huy Nguyen provided information: For most experts, graduate students or software engineers in the field of AI, ChatGPT is not too special. However, for the rest, they have not had the opportunity to access and understand this development. A product that hits the right psychology and is very "real" will easily cause a "fever" effect. Similarly, AI issues related to ethics, legality, technological loopholes... have been raised by experts and researchers for a long time. For example, Google, Facebook... all have their own chatbots (similar to ChatGPT) but they do not publish them because they are afraid of touching ethical and reputation issues. Now, when ChatGPT has reached end users, the community will better understand the limitations that need to be overcome and from there must work together to solve them.

Mr. Huy Nguyen also helps readers feel secure when he believes that if we see the application (ChatGPT or AI technology in general) as a "tool" to create other value-creating products, the increasingly developing technology will help us, which is a positive signal.

Applying AI to support training

The online exchange also attracted a large number of young people, students, and pupils... Tran Thanh Ngoc (grade 12 student at Le Thi Pha High School, Lam Dong province) asked: "To become an AI expert and create products like ChatGPT, what knowledge, skills and abilities do I need?"

Giving this student an idea, Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Tuong Nguyen, lecturer of the Faculty of Information Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, said: With the current technology trend, it is very rare to be able to develop competitive software products by the efforts of an individual. In the field of computers, you almost always need to work in groups after graduation, often having to work in projects with a multinational environment...

Answering the question "From the perspective of a training institution, how do you evaluate the development of AI in general and ChatGPT in particular, how will it impact the training activities of the school?" by reader Tran Phuc Minh (Binh Thuan province), Associate Professor, Dr. Le Nguyen Hoai Nam, lecturer of the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Natural Sciences - Ho Chi Minh National University, shared: First of all, the development of AI helps educational and training institutions to redefine the content, plans, and teaching methods suitable for each learner. Schools need to quickly have a strategy and deploy AI applications in counseling and career guidance for students. Educational institutions should take advantage of AI in the process of testing, evaluating, and evaluating students. ChatGPT in particular will of course help students learn better if they take advantage of its advantages. However, the negative aspects of ChatGPT, especially related to the issue of plagiarism, need to be focused on by training institutions to increase propaganda, monitoring, and inspection.

AI-Ready Cities

The question of Th….trung@gmail.com “With AI, the deep learning supercomputer system and the infrastructure for storing and transmitting information… requires a huge amount of investment. Does Ho Chi Minh City have the potential to invest on its own or invite investors?” was answered by Mr. Nguyen Minh Huan, Standing Member of the Ho Chi Minh City AI Development Program (Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications): Determining how to invest in this infrastructure to meet the needs of AI research and application is extremely important to determine the appropriate investment level and avoid waste. Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh City AI Program has the task of building a high-performance computing infrastructure divided into 2 phases. Phase 1: Research and propose the construction of a high-performance computing infrastructure, chaired by Ho Chi Minh City National University. The results of this research will determine the needs of the city, determine the level of problems the city will solve, and from there propose the content to invest to ensure that research resources are used most effectively and economically. Phase 2 is the investment phase, based on the results of phase 1, the city will implement the investment. Regarding the form of investment, it will be based on the actual situation for the city to invest itself or call for investors. It is expected that by the end of the third quarter of 2023, the results of phase 1 will be available and phase 2 will begin to be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2023.

At the exchange, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of SGGP Newspaper Nguyen Khac Van thanked the guests for participating and enthusiastically sharing information with readers. This online exchange provided a multi-dimensional view of AI technology and this is just the beginning. SGGP Newspaper will continue with larger-scale, more significant programs... to serve readers as well as provide more useful information to contribute to the city's successful construction of the "AI Research and Application Development Program for the period 2020-2030".

Reader Le Trong Son (Ward 13, Go Vap District) asked: "How far has the construction of items related to mechanisms and policies on AI been built?". Mr. Nguyen Minh Huan shared: Ho Chi Minh City has been working with a number of strong domestic and international research groups in the field of AI related to database construction; data use, exploitation, sharing; information security and safety. In the coming time, the city will complete and promulgate legal frameworks, mechanisms and priority policies for AI research and development from research environment to testing, pilot application to widespread application in society.
