At this discussion, poet Nguyen Khoa Diem shared that the night before attending the discussion, he stayed up very late to study documents about the revolution of "streamlining the apparatus" and "reorganizing the country" initiated and implemented by the Party and the State. "50 years since the country's reunification, we are facing an important historical moment. These days, I always have the same emotional feeling as the moment of national reunification, North - South reunion 50 years ago. 50 years have passed and the country is also entering a great national revolution, a revolution of streamlining the apparatus to enter a new era, an era of national growth", poet Nguyen Khoa Diem shared.

In that context, poet Nguyen Khoa Diem shared about the responsibility of the press in the face of the need for innovation. According to poet Nguyen Khoa Diem, this is a period when the press is facing a great challenge of the era. When AI technology develops, artificial intelligence can create fake news and videos that look exactly like the real thing. When information and information exploitation become a global phenomenon, journalism faces many challenges. Despite such difficulties, developing the press is always a mandatory order, contributing to making the country strong in the new era.

Although only talking about journalism, if we think broadly, the entire field of culture and arts today has a common challenge in the context of technological development and on the threshold of a new era. The reality of life is posing great challenges for artists and writers of the times and the "command" to change. When AI can write poetry, scripts, produce films, paint... then artists are forced to have great aspirations, deep thinking, new working methods and creative personalities to assert themselves.

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025), culture, with its role of "lighting the way for the nation", is posing a great responsibility for artists. Culture and arts are in need of great themes, good works that breathe innovation, and bring contemporary thinking to lead the nation and compatriots firmly into a new era, an era of prosperity and wealth for the nation and country.
