On 4 August, the FIT@HCMUS Summer School on Generative AI and Multi-Agent Systems, organised by the Faculty of Information Technology, VNUHCM-University of Science, officially opened, attracting nearly 350 participants, including lecturers, alumni, learners, and representatives from technology enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Summer School is an annual activity designed to connect the academic community and industry, providing an open environment for learning and research. This year’s programme took place within the framework of the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Information Technology, with a focus on two of the most prominent current fields: Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) and Multi-Agent Systems.

The Summer School opened with keynote presentations by Assoc. Prof. Trần Minh Triết of VNUHCM-University of Science on human–AI collaboration in the age of interactive multimedia, and Dr Hoàng Minh Thắng of Virginia Tech on privacy-preserving and trustworthy AI.

Prof. Anthony Tang of Singapore Management University and Dr Lê Khánh Duy of VNUHCM-University of Science outlined research on human–AI interaction and collaborative role-play, followed in the afternoon by MSc. Phan Văn Hoàng Sơn of Masan Group discussing applications of real-world data in enterprise settings.

The programme continued on 6 August with Dr Nguyễn Tiến Huy of VNUHCM-University of Science examining the question “Will AI Replace Humans?” and Dr Lê Thanh Tùng introducing methods for constructing multimodal knowledge using large language models. The following morning featured a specialised session on building multi-agent systems, presented by Dr Nguyễn Trường Sơn and MSc. Phạm Hoàng Hải. The Summer School concluded on 8 August with two topics: integrating knowledge graphs into natural language processing tasks, presented by Mr Nguyễn Hồng Bửu Long, and recommender systems based on multi-agent models, delivered by Assoc.
