Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming economies – and shaping policy must keep pace.
Join us at the upcoming hybrid symposium titled “AI for a Sustainable Tomorrow: Policy Innovations for APEC and the Philippines” on June 11, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, at Palma Hall, UP Diliman, and online via Zoom.
Hosted by the Philippine APEC Study Center Network (PASCN) of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), in collaboration with the University of the Philippines System, this symposium will examine how AI can support sustainability, economic resilience, and digital transformation across APEC economies.
Drawing from new research by PIDS and UP, the event will explore AI’s role in inclusive and green growth, impacts on the labor market and digital infrastructure, and forward-looking, ethical policy approaches for the Philippines and the region.
Connect with leading experts, scholars, policymakers, and industry voices shaping the future of AI governance in the Asia-Pacific.
This event aligns with APEC 2025 Korea’s theme, “Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper,”.
