The University of Social Sciences and Humanities is one of the pioneering universities in Vietnam in applying artificial intelligence in research and teaching. Since 2020, the school has cooperated with Meta Group to implement a project to improve digital capacity for students and promulgate a Digital Capacity Framework for students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (May 2024). Based on this result, the school was proposed by the Ministry of Education and Training to support the development of a Digital Capacity Framework for learners in the national education system and promulgated in January 2025.
Following those results, from 2023, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities will continue to cooperate with Meta Group in the project to improve the capacity of using AI for lecturers and students of the University. More than 250 lecturers, specialists and 1,000 students will be trained in AI.
