In her message, Provincial Director Mary Ann C. Dy, represented by STIDS Shiela A. Nera, emphasized, “As AI becomes increasingly integrated in our daily lives, it is important to know, that we, as consumers are protected from potential discrimination, unfair trade practices, and privacy infringements.”

The forum highlighted algorithmic transparency, data privacy, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI-driven decision-making processes. Mr. Karl John Nolasco, resource speaker, also reiterated the role of education in empowering students to make informed choices, promoting digital literacy, and raising awareness about AI.
