On March 29 and 30, two training sessions on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), supported by Sao Mai for the Blind, officially kicked off in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. These sessions are part of the “Empowerment through Employment of Persons with Visual Impairment” project, sponsored by the Nippon Foundation. The training aims to equip visually impaired individuals with essential technological skills to optimize their learning and work, thereby creating more job opportunities for them.
AI Training in Ho Chi Minh City
On March 29, at 69 Ly Tu Trong Street, Ho Chi Minh City, the VIC successfully held the first session of their training series “Mastering AI with The VIC,” with 20 participants in attendance.
The session provided a practical perspective on how AI is widely applied in education and the workplace. While AI offers many benefits, it also presents challenges in how to use it wisely and responsibly. The program aimed to help learners better understand AI’s role, avoid over-reliance, and learn to harness this tool to improve their productivity. Responsible AI use was a key theme discussed throughout the training.
Participants were encouraged to treat AI as a “powerful assistant,” rather than allowing it to become a “dictator” that controls their thinking and behavior.
AI Training in Hanoi
Demonstrating a strong commitment to improving digital capacity within the visually impaired community, on March 30, the Starlight successfully organized an AI training session for 10 participants at 7 Lac Trung Street, Hanoi.
This session focused on equipping learners with AI skills for both education and the workplace. In particular, it emphasized pedagogical training, enabling participants not only to use AI effectively but also to become core trainers capable of spreading AI knowledge within their community. After the course, participants will organize follow-up training sessions in Bac Ninh, expanding the program’s impact.
Conclusion
These two training sessions offer visually impaired youth a valuable opportunity to strengthen their personal capacity and pave the way for new employment prospects in the digital age. The proactive participation and contribution of visually impaired individuals in spreading knowledge about technology—especially AI—underscore their vital and positive role in modern society. Future sessions promise to bring even more useful knowledge and create greater value for participants and the community.
