The Hanoi University of Science and Technology has begun enrolling students in the AI program to meet demand.
Tien Phong quoted Ngo Thi Ngoc Lan from Navigos Search North as saying that demand for AI workers is on the rise but the supply is short. Many technology firms visit schools directly to look for workers or cooperate with schools to prepare human resources.Lan said because of the short supply, workers in the sector tend to change jobs regularly.
