Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan evaluated the use of artificial intelligence in education, new technologies, and digital transformation processes during a question-and-answer session at the National Assembly on November 12, stating that restrictions or bans should be introduced for young students.

Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan addressed concerns during the National Assembly session on November 12 regarding students using AI content to complete homework and essays instead of researching and thinking on their own. Stating that he understands these concerns as a former lecturer, Minister Vu Hai Quan emphasized that the misuse of artificial intelligence in education is alarming.

The Minister recalled that some developed countries have started restricting or banning the use of artificial intelligence, particularly for young students, and expressed his agreement with this approach. He noted that while it will be very good for children to use artificial intelligence to ask questions when they grow up, this matter should be reassessed at a young age. Additionally, the sustainability of Starlink satellite internet, controlled testing mechanisms, artificial intelligence risk classification, and obstacles in digital transformation processes were also discussed during the session.
