AI in Action: Building the next generation of AI talents for a changing world

What does it take to prepare the next generation for the age of AI?

At the Opening Ceremony of the Vingroup Applied AI Talent Program – Intake 2, 500 selected learners joined leading experts from Google DeepMind, MBZUAI, Carnegie Mellon University, VinUniversity, and global technology companies for conversations exploring not only the future of AI – but the future of humanity alongside it.

Across two panel discussions, speakers shared how AI is rapidly evolving beyond prediction toward reasoning, scientific discovery, multimodal systems, and specialized AI built for real-world impact.

The discussions highlighted that in a world transformed by AI, technical skills alone will not be enough. Curiosity, deep thinking, adaptability, empathy, and meaningful human connection may become more valuable than ever.

More than an opening ceremony, the event reflected a larger vision behind the Vingroup Applied AI Talent Program: moving learners beyond theory into hands-on practice, real business challenges, and meaningful value creation.
