Singapore – November 3, 2023: Anthology, a leading provider of education solutions that support the entire learner lifecycle, will announce the results of its 2023 research study and resulting report AI in Higher Ed: Hype, Harm, or Help, Philippines Edition, at Anthology’s Innovate & Educate Asia in Singapore on 7 November. The event is a one-day conference where education professionals around the region can discover modern solutions to support every stage of the student learning journey.
The survey results reveal the perceptions and realities of generative AI use among university leaders and students in the Philippines, and how they differ from their peers in other parts of the world.
The findings are a subset of a study of more than 5,000 current students and university leaders from eleven countries, including the Philippines, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, United States, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.
The report offers intriguing insights as to the value, challenges and opportunities students and university leaders feel generative AI tools like ChatGPT bring to higher education.
Among the findings to be shared at Innovate & Educate Asia is the progressive attitude towards AI by university students at institutions in the Philippines. The survey reveals they are much more positive about the role of AI in higher education than compared to their peers in other countries.
“As a pioneer in applying advanced technology in education, including AI, the enthusiastic endorsement from students and university leadership in the Philippines is highly encouraging,” said Bruce Dahlgren, chief executive officer at Anthology. “It demonstrates a region where schools are ready to adopt AI to enrich student experiences and deliver much better outcomes.”

All product features that leverage AI are developed following Anthology’s Trustworthy AI program and commitment to responsible, lawful and ethical use of AI.
Anthology will showcase these new AI features and other advancements in their portfolio of EdTech solutions at Anthology Innovate & Educate Asia in Singapore, 7 November. The event is a must for teaching and learning staff members, system administrators, academics, learning designers, and education professionals.
In addition to focus groups and panel discussions with industry experts from around the world, Natalie Hong, Senior Project Officer at UNESCO Bangkok, will discuss the transformation of the role of teachers, moving from curriculum executors to reflexive practitioners and knowledge producers.
