VNU-USSH students master Gen AI: A breakthrough in innovation, learning and entrepreneurship in the digital age

Immediately after opening the link, the Organizing Committee received the attention and registration of nearly 600 students from the first to fourth year of all majors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. On January 2, 2025, the first class officially opened and by January 19, 2025, 6 classes had been completed with many surprising results.
Accompanying the students in the course are teachers and experts in digital capacity and artificial intelligence from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the University of Law (VNU) and partners: Meta Group, SkillPixel.
The course content is designed to be diverse, relevant, and close to the learning and life reality of GenZ students such as: Discovering the world of Gen AI; the operating principles, applications, and limitations of Gen AI; prompt strategies to work with Gen AI; learn quickly, understand deeply, and do it right; Enhance critical thinking and research capacity; understand and apply AI ethics in learning, life, and work... In addition, students also practice specific skills such as: using GenAI to summarize documents, brainstorm ideas, and create effective presentation slides; using GenAl to translate, verify information, and compare multi-dimensional sources; find literature, extract outlines, analyze data, and draw charts; build a professional CV, portfolio, and personal website; use GenAl to create creative content videos and optimize support tools for each field; search for job information and create an impressive CV to conquer employers.
In particular, for 3rd and 4th year students, the course also supports them with the necessary skills to access the labor market to have good job opportunities, such as: Analyzing and developing personal project ideas, starting a business with the support of GenAl; Applying GenAl to practice interviews and optimize answers according to the applied position.
Bui Minh Thuy (4th year student of International Studies): “When I saw the information about the course posted on the school's fanpage, I immediately registered. Before that, I had also known some AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, but mainly used them for entertainment. This is the first systematic course with very attractive content, helping us learn more about AI to apply to study, work and life. When I completed the course, I achieved results far beyond my expectations. I didn't think that AI could do so many things now, and could completely become a powerful "assistant" for students in their studies and future work. The engaging way of teaching of the teachers, the practical exercises through real-life situations helped me and my friends absorb easily and can be applied immediately to create products: such as vivid images, videos, and subject review outlines. The most interesting thing is that through the AI ​​tools, I was able to find I received a lot of reliable documents for my graduation thesis - a task that I am spending a lot of time and effort to do. Through the course, I also realized that applying AI is an inevitable trend, but each of us must know to what extent we should use AI, for what tasks, to help ourselves but not become a slave to AI and especially not to harm those around us.
Pham Thanh Nam (K66 student majoring in Psychology) expressed: “Generative AI has now penetrated into all aspects of social life, so I determined that I needed to update my knowledge about GEN AI, so I proactively learned about it. As a student majoring in Psychology, I cannot help but worry that in the future, when AI has been fully developed and becomes smarter, when there are psychological problems that need advice, people will seek AI, so will our job opportunities in the future be threatened? But through the exchange with teachers and lecturers of Chemistry, I realized that besides the challenges, there are still many extremely interesting career opportunities if we know how to make the most of technological achievements. I am extremely grateful to the teachers of the Faculty of Information - Library, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, AI experts from universities and enterprises at home and abroad for researching and designing a very useful course. Although the work is extremely Although busy, the teachers and seniors accompanied and guided us meticulously during and after the course. The knowledge and skills equipped through the course not only help us to apply to improve our learning outcomes but also confidently participate in the labor market in the context of strong digital transformation like today." Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Hung (Head of the Faculty of Information and Library, Head of the course's Organizing Committee) shared: In this course, we expect 700-800 students to participate in the course, 6 courses have been completed, the Organizing Committee has received very positive feedback from a large number of students. Currently, AI has a huge impact on society, especially on education, students need to have enough knowledge and skills to apply AI tools to improve the effectiveness of learning and research at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Therefore, when designing this course, we hope to help students use AI intelligently, ethically and responsibly at the university. After the course, we hope that you will use AI in the smartest way to "Learn quickly, Understand deeply, Create to make a difference". Students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities are the first students in Vietnam to participate in a formal AI course and receive certification from Meta Group.
