For those saying that this can already be done by existing AI apps and platforms—yes, that is true.
But can you see the difference between simply using AI and actually understanding how it works?
Most people are consumers. They use whatever technology is given to them, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, what we are trying to promote is something deeper: nurturing the next generation of Filipinos to understand the underlying concepts, processes, systems, and connections that make AI possible.
If we only focus on using applications to make life easier, we remain users. But if we learn how these technologies are built, trained, interconnected, and deployed, we can become creators, innovators, and developers.
This is why efforts like these matter. They are not just about using AI; they are about building the foundation for future Filipino AI engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and technology leaders.
Don’t compare simple consumption of technology with the pursuit of understanding and creating it. One uses the future; the other helps build it.
