CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES — A collaborative paper between the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH) and the Ateneo Laboratory for the Learning Sciences (ALLS) was featured in the recently concluded AI Horizons PH 2025 at UP Cebu this October 16-17, 2025. Entitled “The Development and Testing of a Virtual Patient for Philippine Medical Education,” the study was presented by Almira Princess Redoble, a student assistant at ALLS taking BS Computer Science – Digital Game Design and Development, in front of policymakers, industry professionals, and leaders from the academia on the second day of the two-day conference. The four critical sectors of cybersecurity and national security, business process outsourcing and creative industries, disaster risk reduction, and social good and inclusive growth were explored and represented through 20 technical presentations and real-world case studies. The conference also allowed for a glimpse at international AI policymaking; representatives from the Asian Development Bank and the Korea Legislation Research Institute discussed trends in AI, Governance, and Development across Asia and Korea’s approach to an AI Legal Framework, respectively.
