AI-Based Public Education Pilot Program Launched in Gia Lai

The "AI-Based Public Education" pilot program, launched in Gia Lai province in October 2026, offers residents practical training on the use of AI technologies in daily life, methods for prompting, and problem identification.

Conducted by experts from the Department of Science, Technology and Information under the Ministry of Education and Training, the program provides participants in the Quy Nhon neighborhood with educational materials, videos, and practical exercises. The initiative aims to make digital technologies more accessible by covering different segments of society.

Huynh Thanh Ngan, Secretary of the Youth Union and a participant in the program, stated that the training contributed to their understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of AI. Parent Quynh Tran Nha Vy expressed that her concerns regarding her children's technology use have decreased, while elderly citizen Phan Thanh Lam noted that he discovered AI could be a helpful tool in the digital world.

Ngo Dang Tien, Head of the Department of Digital Technology and Human Resource Development at the Ministry of Science, Technology and Information, emphasized that this work is a critical step toward narrowing the digital divide. The results of the pilot program are expected to form the basis for the ministry to scale this training model more broadly.
