AI is no longer a strange concept to most young people, and has even contributed to changing the way they work, study, think and act.

Great assistant

Receiving a topic from the lecturer in class, although being suggested to discuss in groups with friends to find the answer, Nguyen Le Quynh (first-year student majoring in public relations) still took out her phone to consult... ChatGPT. Many other Gen Zs have the habit of using AI in studying.

More and more applications, websites, software... are launched to serve the diverse needs of learners. The most popular is ChatGPT (OpenAI) - a virtual assistant that answers questions, writes articles, explains concepts, supports languages ​​and programming. Grammarly helps check grammar, edits sentences, suggests more natural English writing. QuillBot has the ability to rewrite sentences, paraphrase, summarize, and check for plagiarism. Khanmigo (by Khan Academy) is no different from a personal assistant: explaining lessons, exercises and supporting practice. Duolingo stands out in the line of foreign language learning applications with the ability to adjust lessons to each person's ability.

AI does not steal jobs, but in fact, those who know how to use AI will have an advantage over those who are not interested in or using AI. AI illustration: HA LINH

In addition, there is Jasper AI, which is suitable for essay suggestions; Elicit is very useful for finding academic documents, summarizing and comparing research papers; Socratic by Google is an AI-based exercise solving application, helping students understand each step of solving problems; Otter.ai specializes in recording and converting lectures and meetings into text, helping learners take notes more easily. In the past, students mainly relied on teachers, books and the internet to look up knowledge. Now, there is AI to help summarize documents, solve exercises, write reports, practice foreign languages... at low cost. Therefore, many young people consider AI as a means to study better, faster, more effectively and more creatively.

However, this also raises concerns: Will young people gradually become "lazy" in thinking, losing their ability to analyze, create and debate - when relying too much on AI?

Don't depend on

Living with AI is no longer a choice, but an undeniable reality as the labor market is changing. AI is quite good at many repetitive tasks with clear processes such as data entry, translation, document synthesis, etc.

Mr. Le Van Loc (29 years old; living in Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City) said that using automatic Chatbot helps him save a lot of money on hiring staff to monitor the fanpage 24/7. Chatbot can classify and handle simple questions in customer care activities, receiving orders... For a newbie in the book business like Mr. Loc, AI is truly a valuable "colleague" when the human resources are still limited.

Quick adaptation, willingness to approach and take advantage of technology are common features of young people of Gen Z like Loc. Nguyen Nhu May (30 years old, from Tien Giang) often uses Notion AI to write notes, summarize, plan... However, for someone working in the marketing industry like her, AI, although an extremely powerful tool, only plays a supporting role and cannot completely replace humans. According to Nhu May, building creative ideas, controlling content, grasping customer psychology to come up with appropriate strategies... still requires human decisions with emotional intelligence. "If understood correctly and used correctly, AI helps us increase labor productivity and is a "lever" to go far in our careers. But if we rely too much on or abuse it, it can have the opposite effect" - Nhu May commented.

Many companies tend to cut human resources, invest in AI, workers who do not upgrade their skills are likely to fall behind. New jobs such as Prompt Engineer (AI command writer), AI Trainer (AI trainer), Data Annotator (data labeler) ... are increasingly interested and have strong development prospects.

Catch up with the trend

MSc. Le Anh Tu, CEO of iGem Agency, believes that young people who understand AI will easily catch up with trends, think flexibly and not "fall behind" the current labor market. With a company with a large number of Gen Z workers, with many partners and customers of the same age, Mr. Anh Tu observed and realized: "For young employees, the approach should be to apply it to existing work stages and processes, to increase quality, efficiency and productivity". There are many types of AI, but in the content creation industry, you will usually use it to find topics, develop topics or support image design. "It is necessary to pay attention to training the ability to issue effective commands (prompt). When used multiple times on an AI account (with copyright), AI will understand the user better, thereby working more "in harmony" - MSc. Le Anh Tu emphasized.
