Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly popular in the learning environment, from high school to university.
Sharing with reporters, many students in Ho Chi Minh City said that AI helps them access knowledge faster, especially in explaining difficult content, suggesting directions for doing papers or supporting the construction of presentations.
Nguyen Manh Chung, a 12th grade student (Tam Binh ward) said that he often uses ChatGPT and Gemini to find information.
"In Math, I used it to learn more about how to solve problems. Mon Van uses the context of implementation," Chung said.
Similarly, Nguyen Dang Huu, an 11th grade student (Xuan Hoa ward) said that he often uses AI to re-check homework or support English documentation translation.
At university level, many students said they use many AI tools at the same time to refer to multidimensional information, then synthesize and develop their own ideas.
Mr. Tu Hai Son - growth director of Neurons AI Company Limited, said that AI can bring many benefits in learning if used properly.
This tool helps learners suggest ideas, re-examine initial approaches, and support access to basic information and processes to implement learning projects more effectively.
However, according to Mr. Son, in reality, there is a situation where students use AI in the style of "AI pre-answer" and receive one-sided information without verification. This can lead to disoriented learning outcomes or projects, because AI synthesizes data from many different sources, not always accurate or consistent with learning goals.
From there, Mr. Son believes that learners need to clearly understand the nature and limits of AI, considering this a support tool, not a means to replace thinking. To promote AI effectively, students need to be able to ask questions correctly, know how to select information and proactively retest the results given by AI.
Regarding the age of use, Mr. Son noted that children of too young age should not have free access to AI. For people under 18 years old, the use of AI requires the supervision and guidance of parents and schools to avoid dependence on technology.
"AI should be used as a learning assistant, helping to synthesize information and suggest approaches, not replacing learners' thinking," Mr. Son emphasized.
