On May 6, at room C51.202 of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, an academic seminar titled “What type of soft skills to be used efficiently in the AI era and its ethics implication” was held under the guidance of Dr. Huynh Ba Gia. The program was organized by the AI Center in cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. It was delivered entirely in English and attracted a large number of IT students, creating a vibrant academic atmosphere with a strong international orientation.
Dr. Huynh Ba Gia, who is currently the Vice Rector of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, delivered a structured and accessible presentation on the role of soft skills in the era of artificial intelligence. The seminar focused on key topics such as essential types of soft skills, current forms of AI, ethical aspects of AI applications, as well as the necessary skills for using AI effectively in both study and work.
In addition, the speaker emphasized important guiding questions for students when working with AI, including “what should be known,” “what should be learned,” and “what types of questions should be asked when using AI.” Some of the soft skills highlighted included critical thinking, communication, teamwork, adaptability, and ethical thinking in a digital technology environment. Regarding ethics, Dr. Huynh Ba Gia stressed challenges such as algorithm transparency, data privacy, and responsibility in AI-driven decision-making. These issues attracted significant attention from students, especially in the context of increasingly widespread AI applications.
After the seminar, evaluation surveys were collected and showed positive feedback. Most students responded that the content was practical, easy to understand, and highly applicable to both academic study and career orientation.
