Accordingly, AI is considered a useful tool in developing students' capacity and qualities, Professor Le Anh Vinh commented: Developing AI capacity not only builds a creative learning environment, but also helps students clearly perceive their own potential, aiming to become global citizens in the future.

“The trend of applying artificial intelligence in education is irreversible. AI will certainly have a comprehensive impact on changing the curriculum, improving the teaching and learning process, supporting testing and evaluating students in class. This helps teachers have information and students have more learning opportunities.

The application of AI technology in education needs to be implemented in two solutions: short-term and long-term. The short-term solution is to develop digital capacity for teachers and administrators so that they can teach and manage schools more effectively. The long-term roadmap requires changing the curriculum so that students can access AI earlier," shared Prof. Dr. Le Anh Vinh.
