During the session, Ms. Ngô Y Sa introduced students to various materials and tools that support interpretation learning and practice. These resources help students enhance their skills, improve translation speed, and gain confidence in their chosen field. 

Additionally, the speaker discussed the impact of AI on the interpretation profession, a topic of significant interest today. With the development of machine translation tools such as Google Translate, DeepL, and ChatGPT, the role of interpreters is evolving. However, she emphasized that AI cannot completely replace human interpreters but rather serves as a tool to optimize workflows. 

The speaker provided real-world examples and practical knowledge to help students gain a clearer understanding
Beyond the presentation, students actively participated in interactive activities, asking questions, and sharing their perspectives on the interpretation profession. Popular questions revolved around how to effectively use AI, strategies for personal skill development in the digital era, and job opportunities for interpreters in the future.
