AI's Rise: Choosing Tech Fields to Avoid Obsolescence

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence presents a dual challenge and opportunity for Vietnam's burgeoning tech sector. While AI's ability to automate complex tasks, including software development, raises concerns about job displacement for programmers, it simultaneously creates new avenues for highly skilled professionals.

Reports indicate significant global tech layoffs, with projections suggesting millions could be affected by 2030 if they fail to adapt. This underscores the urgency for educational institutions and individuals to pivot towards skills that AI cannot replicate: strategic thinking, complex problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. The focus must shift from merely learning to use technology to mastering the creation and direction of technology for human benefit.

Universities like Thành Đô University are responding by emphasizing practical, industry-aligned training. Their programs aim to equip students not just with technical proficiency but with the critical thinking skills necessary to innovate and lead in the AI era. Internships and international exchange programs further enhance graduates' competitiveness in both domestic and global job markets, ensuring they are prepared for the evolving demands of the technology landscape.

The programs at the school are always linked to specific skills, forming a solid foundation for subsequent advanced skills. We don't just teach students how to use technology, but more importantly, we teach them how to think to create technology and control it for human purposes.
