Speaking at the opening session, Mr. Le Quoc Minh - Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association - presented a paper with the theme "Developing journalism in the era of artificial intelligence".
The paper analyzes the strong impacts of artificial intelligence on the global media industry, while emphasizing that AI is changing the way of producing and distributing information and posing new requirements for operating models, human resources as well as the competitiveness of press agencies.
Accordingly, the issue is not only stopping at applying AI to journalistic activities but also mastering technology, restructuring content production processes, building modern editorial model and towards sustainable development in the digital media environment.
