Addressing the course' opening on Tuesday, VOV Vice President Pham Manh Hung said that, as AI is becoming increasingly present in all aspects of life, Vietnam has enacted a Law on Artificial Intelligence to maximize productivity. AI is reshaping every stage of journalism, from information gathering and processing to content creation and production.
“How to maximize the value of AI in journalism is an urgent question. That’s why we organized this training course,” said Hung, adding, “We’re very pleased that Sputnik, which has closely cooperated with VOV for many years, has sent AI experts to share their experience with us.” “I hope our relations will continue to develop fruitfully and that we’ll organize many more useful courses to support journalism innovation at VOV and other Vietnamese press agencies,” Hung added.
Mikhail Konrad, Project Director and Advisor at Rossiya Segodnya Media Group of Sputnik News Agency and Radio, said, “The relationship between Russia and Vietnam has always been about the exchange of information and education, so I hope that today will be another great instance of this.”
“And because of this, I will be, of course, very interested to learn about the experience of Voice of Vietnam in using artificial intelligence, and to be able to answer the questions from you and all of our colleagues who are present today,” Konrad noted.
The training course focuses on emerging AI trends and tools in modern journalism and media, including AI applications in newsroom operations, digital and radio content production, speech-to-text and text-to-speech technologies, podcast production, livestreaming, voice cloning, AI image generation, and ethical issues.
