On October 11 this year, PhilStar hosted The Pro Future: AI for Life Summit, which brought together industry experts, innovators, and future leaders to explore the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) across various sectors in the Philippines.
Among the attendees were key officers from AMA Education System (AMAES), Dr. Kibet Amos, Dr. Gerard Ngo, Engr. Arnel Hibo, Mr. Ervin Moran and Ms. Joanadiane Jardin, solidifying AMA’s role as a pioneer in IT-based education.

The event highlighted the immense potential of AI, demonstrating its integration across various industries, including healthcare, finance, education, and the creative arts.
For AMAES, this summit was a perfect avenue to emphasize its leadership in the integration of AI into education, particularly through its BS Artificial Intelligence program— the first of its kind in the country. This program is a prime example of AMA’s commitment to offering cutting-edge IT education. Aside from this, AMA is also the first to integrate AI in all of its programs, equipping students like Macalinao with the tools to lead in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
The summit opened with a keynote address by a renowned AI expert, Ms. Nikita Greenidge, who discussed the future implications of AI and, along with these implications, the importance of ethical AI development.
