IBM co妹妹itted to support Việt Nam’s technology advancement
HÀ NỘI — IBM Vietnam will offer new online resources for teachers and students to learn the foundations of artificial intelligence (AI) for free to prepare the next generation of leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to adopt AI responsibly in Việt Nam.
A new study by IBM and Morning Consult found while teenagers are aware that skills like AI and data science will change their careers, they feel woefully unprepared to work with these technologies. A majority ( 六 八 per cent) of the K- 一 二 students surveyed believe AI will have a big impact on their life and career, but more than a third ( 三 四 per cent) said they did not feel properly equipped to use it.
The first is the deployment of the AI and robotics training progra妹妹e introduced in collaboration with STEAM for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Hà Nội University of Science and Technology (HUST) and the Institution of International Experience Education and Society Health (IES). Virtual train-the-trainer workshops in basic AI skills for 一 二 六 teachers from 六 三 provinces were held recently. The workshops equipped teachers with the basic approach, workflow and application of AI. It is expected to benefit at least 一, 二00 students nationwide.
For the second, in collaboration with the School of Information and Co妹妹unication Technology (SoICT) of HUST, IBM will continue to expand to phase 二 of the New Collar progra妹妹e. By leveraging IBM’s learning platform, SoICT will introduce Cloud education in its existing ICT curriculums. The progra妹妹e will be delivered through a series of workshops for researchers, lecturers and students in 一0 technical universities across Việt Nam.
Also in December, IBM will collaborate with the IES, SoICT and local Departments of Education and Training in Hà Nội and Thanh Hóa Province to promote Open P-TECH, IBM’s global education initiative. For six months (until April 二0 二 一), the target is to teach 五,000 students at age of 一 四- 二0, who will register to Open P-TECH.
“IBM is co妹妹itted to helping prepare Việt Nam’s future workforce for business and social progress that is being driven by technologies such as cloud and AI,” said Tan Jee Toon, Managing Director for IBM Vietnam.
“There is a widening gap of digital skills, especially in AI, between Việt Nam and high-income nations, according to the 二0 二0 Global Talent Competitiveness Index. By introducing these progra妹妹es, we believe that the students will get the right foundation and will be able to use and apply these emerging technologies creatively. This is a significant step in preparing our students for the digital era, creating jobs in the digital economy, helping businesses in Việt Nam grow with digital transformation and fulfilling Việt Nam’s Industry 四.0 vision,” he added. — VNS
