AI is a hot topic in Vietnam's education industry. It can enhance teaching and learning by acting as a virtual teacher and assisting with tasks like grading. However, AI is not widely used in Vietnam and the foreign applications may not be suitable for the Vietnamese context. Students can benefit from AI by accessing education from different places. AI tools like Duolingo can improve speaking skills. However, there are concerns about students becoming lazy and dependent on AI, as well as potential mistakes in lessons. It is important to use AI wisely and ethically, adapting it to our needs and being open-minded about its possibilities and limitations. Students should also be responsible and monitor AI's performance in their assignments. Hello, welcome to our broadcast and today's episode we will discuss Artificial Intelligence. Nowadays, it is becoming a hot topic among educators, seniors bring a lot of benefits to both teachers and students. Joining me are three guests studying in RMIT University Hanoi. Quynh, Lanay and Linh. As they will share their perspectives on the use of AI in Vietnam's education industry. Welcome to the show everyone. It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me and thanks for having me too. So, what is AI and how do we use it to assist us in education? AI is a high technology that can act like human intelligence and help us in many ways of life. Quynh, what do you think of the current state of AI in Vietnam's education industry? How is it impacting the way you learn and teach? Well, I think AI can enhance the teaching and learning process making it more effective and efficient. For students, it can act like a virtual teacher which gives learners some tips for their assignment. And for teachers, AI can be used as an autonomous tool which can help them to generate some time-consuming tasks like grading, checking attendance or feedback for students. Wow, that sounds amazing. Well, I have a different opinion. I think AI is not widely used in Vietnam's education industry. Some of the well-known AI applications are mostly foreign such as Bing AI, ChatGBT or Grammarly. According to Hoai Son Nguyen, Director of the Vietnam Institute of AI, Vietnam has witnessed a lack of human resources for AI, leading to changes for foreign firms to invest in our market. And I think these platforms are not really suitable for the Vietnamese context. Thank you for your sharing. So, you guys have a different thought about the use of AI in Vietnam's education industry. Lai Ninh, how can students benefit from AI? For me, AI can make education more accessible and affordable. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we had to get used to online learning and AI offers a lot of benefits for us. I've read a journal about RMAT and college, stating that AI allows us to access learning from different places. That sounds impressive. What did you learn when using AI tools and what are the tools that you use? Well, previously, I used Dilingual, an online learning English app to practice and improve my speaking skills. Since it uses AI to detect pronunciation mistakes and suggest replacements, AI can bring many opportunities to education. However, it can also bring some difficulties. I agree with you, Lai Ninh. And I think one of the disadvantages of AI is when the majority of work is being automated. Students might be lazy and dependent on this technology. According to Ossipov and Ulyanova, today's AI is not precisely perfect with some errors remaining in the system. Therefore, there is a potential risk of mistakes in lessons and this can lead to misunderstanding in students. Yeah, I agree with you. I think the key is to use AI wisely and responsibly to pattern this with human face. That is very insightful. Each of you have different views and concerns on the use of AI in the non-education industry. Besides, I think the main challenge is to control and use AI ethically and to adapt it to our needs and goals. Also, I think we need to be open-minded about AI possibilities and limitations. Don't be afraid to try new things and learn new skills. I would also recommend them to follow principles and guidelines of the schools while using AI. Students also need to be responsible with their work. They need to monitor AI's performance in their assignments and our study too. Thank you for your great advice. I want to thank our guests for joining us and sharing their knowledge on using AI in the non-education industry. Also, I want to thank our listeners for listening to this podcast.
