AI continues to move from a “testing tool” to a core business capability, driving new demand for skills, certifications, and implementation consulting services. For Vietnamese marketers, this is not just about learning another tool, but about changing how work is done, how processes are organized, and how competitive advantage is built.
The latest wave of news shows the market moving in four clear directions: AI certifications on cloud platforms, the AI skills needed in 2026, the value of the OpenAI consultant role, and the demand for OpenAI consulting for businesses. Here is the overall picture.
Two AWS certification paths reflect the split in AI skills
Content from the comparison video AIF-C01 and AIP-C01 shows that AWS’s AI certification ecosystem is moving along two different tracks: one leans toward foundational capability and understanding of AI/AWS AI Practitioner, while the other leans toward generative development applications and building practical solutions for developers.
The notable point for marketers is that the labor market no longer just needs people who “know how to use AI,” but is splitting into different layers of capability: understanding concepts, knowing how to integrate, knowing how to deploy, and knowing how to measure results. This signals that internal marketing teams that want to go far with AI will need clearer role division, rather than relying on just a few people who know how to use chatbots.

AI skills in 2026: from Python and data to prompt engineering and automation
Simplilearn’s roundup emphasizes that AI skills have become a more common requirement across many roles, not just for engineers or data specialists. The capability groups mentioned most often include Python, data processing, machine learning, generative AI, prompt engineering, automation, and responsible AI.
The key message here is that working professionals do not necessarily need a computer science background to start learning AI, but they do need a clear roadmap to turn knowledge into productivity. For marketers, this means prioritizing applied skills such as reading data, automating tasks, building better prompts, and controlling risks when using AI in content, research, or advertising workflows.
The article also cites Stanford data showing that the number of U.S. job postings requiring generative AI skills quadrupled in just one year, indicating that market demand is rising very quickly.

OpenAI consultant: a high-value role only for those who can build real systems
Blockchain Council describes the OpenAI consultant role as a position with attractive income, but not one for people who stop at writing prompts. The value of this role lies in the ability to connect OpenAI APIs, retrieval systems, security, workflow automation, and business goals into a complete solution.
This reflects a reality that is becoming increasingly clear in the AI industry: prompt writing is the starting point, while the ability to design architecture, manage risk, and prove impact is what businesses are willing to pay for. For marketers, the lesson is not to learn AI only as a content-creation technique; instead, learn how it fits into the pipeline, CRM, customer analysis, and campaign operations.
The article also shows that the market is placing greater value on composite capabilities, and certifications related to OpenAI consulting could become a signal of competence amid rising hiring demand.

OpenAI consulting services are shifting from experimentation to enterprise deployment
In the fourth article, Blockchain Council emphasizes that OpenAI consulting services in 2026 are no longer centered on a short-term ChatGPT demo. Instead, businesses need a full set of capabilities including strategy, architecture, governance, integration, training, and cost control so AI can operate in real systems.
The article cites several notable data points: enterprise spending on generative AI rose from $11.5 billion in 2024 to $37 billion in 2025; OpenAI had more than 1 million paying enterprise customers and millions of ChatGPT for Work seats by the end of 2025; while a study on AI adoption found that only about 31% of use cases had reached full production environments. The gap between experimentation and real deployment is exactly the survival space for AI consulting.
This is an important signal for Vietnamese brands experimenting with AI in customer service, content, data analysis, or sales: the technology is not lacking, but what is most lacking is the ability to turn tools into sustainable processes.

A perspective for the Vietnamese market
For Vietnamese businesses, these signals show that the AI game is entering the “operational capability” stage rather than the “try it and see” stage. In marketing, this means teams should prioritize three things: standardizing AI skills for staff, choosing problems with clearly measurable outcomes, and building processes to control content quality, data, and costs.
Teams that do this well will not only use AI to work faster, but also to make better decisions. That is the real competitive gap in 2026.
