Opportunities and challenges in developing AI capacity for learners
Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan - Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities delivered the opening speech of the conference
In his opening speech and introductory report to the conference, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan - Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, emphasized that in recent years, artificial intelligence is not only a technology, but has become a new tool and method, impacting and reshaping education and training on a global scale.
The remarkable advances in artificial intelligence are opening up unprecedented opportunities to personalize learning, support research, and enhance learners’ creativity. However, along with the opportunities come huge challenges: in ethics, in equality in access to technology, and in how humans master AI instead of being dominated by it. The workshop was organized to find answers to the core question: How to develop AI capacity for learners in a practical, comprehensive way that reflects Vietnamese identity - humane, responsible, creative and integrated?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Minh Son - Director of Hanoi National University spoke at the conference
Speaking at the workshop, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Minh Son - Director of Hanoi National University affirmed that in the development strategy to 2030, vision 2045, Hanoi National University identified artificial intelligence as an important pillar to innovate university governance, improve training quality and promote interdisciplinary and cross-field scientific research. Hanoi National University aims to build a comprehensive AI ecosystem where scientists, lecturers and students can learn together, create together, and contribute AI solutions to serve the country's sustainable development.
The Director of Hanoi National University especially acknowledged the pioneering role of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, which has proactively cooperated with Meta Group in implementing many training programs, seminars and research on digital capacity and AI capacity for teachers and learners.
The school is not only a pioneer in building an AI Competency Framework for learners, but also a bridge between science and technology and social sciences, helping to spread the spirit of applying AI in a humane, responsible and liberal manner.

Since 2020, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities 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, VNU-USSH was requested 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 it 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 have been trained in AI. From there, the Artificial Intelligence Competency Framework for students has been built and discussed with experts.
At the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, training activities not only aim to train people who know how to use technology but also nurture digital citizens with humanity, identity and responsibility. The school has applied technology, including artificial intelligence, in many training programs, opened many new applied majors for learners, such as Language and AI, etc. The school's strategy for approaching digital capacity is developed based on a humanistic foundation, with an orientation to integrate technology and humanistic values with the philosophy "Technology for people - People master technology".
