Speaking at the opening ceremony on the morning of August 22, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Van - Director of the Center for Journalism Training said that in the context of strong digital transformation, newsrooms are gradually digitizing all activities, in which the application of artificial intelligence (AI) is an inevitable trend.

The class aims to help students approach and apply AI to their work, thereby optimizing the news production process, improving content quality and increasing interaction with readers.
