The "rise" of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has contributed to changing human perception and life. Like many other fields, in the field of Education, how training activities must change to approach and keep up with the times is really a big question. Faced with that reality, Duy Tan University organized a workshop "Application of AI in training and developing academic research in universities" on February 24, 2024 and signed a cooperation agreement with Alibaba Company. Cloud Intelligence to jointly create and deploy many activities in this field.

Dr. Le Nguyen Bao - Principal of Duy Tan University shared at the Conference: "The workshop 'Application of AI in training and developing academic research in universities' is a highly anticipated event at Duy Tan University." New. In the context of the rapid development of AI, many questions are being raised for all fields, of which the question of how universities must change to approach and keep up with the times is really a question. big.

AI will certainly bring benefits to training and research in general. At the present time, instructors have been getting used to using AI effectively for teaching while adjusting to suit each individual learner. Duy Tan University is currently using GPT Chat and AI applications to teach a number of subjects at Faculties, including the Faculty of Tourism, with answers from AI 'lecturers' that are not 'inferior' to a lecturer. really when asked questions. Although this AI application is still 'passive' in that it only knows how to answer when asked a question, I think that in the near future changes to improve this problem will not be difficult.

 

I hope that the Conference 'Application of AI in training and developing academic research in universities' will be an opportunity for me and my colleagues to meet to listen, share and learn more knowledge. useful for teaching and research.”

 

The conference "Application of AI in training and developing academic research in universities" has become a forum for scientists to exchange and discuss issues related to AI while promoting research and development. The application makes an important contribution to the training of quality human resources for higher education institutions.

Very practical issues were discussed such as: Applying AI to innovate teaching methods and develop research in universities, AI technology infrastructure for universities, Applying generative AI in work, Ethical and legal issues when using AI, Forecasting the development trend of AI,...

 

Many comments were analyzed from the perspectives of experts right at the Conference such as:

 

- "Artificial Intelligence, future exponential technology and development trends" by Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Thuy, President of FISU Vietnam,

- "Application of AI to innovate teaching methods and develop research in universities" by Dr. Dang My Chau - Microsoft Education expert,

- “Application of Generative AI in work” by Mr. Doan Viet Hung - Vietnam Market Marketing Manager,

- “Ethical and legal issues related to the use of AI” by Dr. Nguyen Quang Thanh, Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Da Nang City,...

 

Prof.Dr. Nguyen Thanh Thuy - President of FISU Vietnam shared: "Artificial Intelligence is no longer a technology field but has become an industry that brings 'money' to the world. And therefore, countries interested in AI do not just stop at research activities but also strategies for future development. It can be said that we are standing in a very important stage, which is the 4.0 Industrial Revolution. Those of us working in the Information Technology industry are very proud of our direct contribution to socio-economic development from the 3rd Industrial Revolution with achievements in Computerization and Automation. Facing the challenges and opportunities of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, many countries have oriented themselves to develop platforms as well as build many new strategies. In particular, Vietnam has also gone along with development when there are strong advances in Technology, specifically in the field of AI."

Immediately after the Conference, Duy Tan University officially signed a contract with Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Company to jointly establish many activities. Including:
