The AI Horizons PH 2025 conference, a leading event on AI innovation in the Philippines, is set to take place on October 16-17, 2025, at the University of the Philippines Cebu. In its second year, the conference will focus on real-world applications of AI to address significant challenges across various sectors such as industries, government, and society. The event aims to equip participants with practical tools to enhance their businesses, agencies, or communities. Key areas of focus include AI in cybersecurity, BPO and creative industries, governance and disaster risk reduction, as well as social good and inclusive growth. Cebu’s selection as the venue aligns with the Digital Cities 2025 initiative, promoting regional growth and expanding job opportunities in the IT and BPO sector. Cebu, a major BPO hub outside the National Capital Region, employs around 160,000 full-time workers and plays a crucial role in the country’s contact-center industry, which saw a 7% revenue growth in 2024. The conference will also produce strategic outputs, including a national AI cybersecurity strategy, an industry roadmap for AI integration in the BPO sector, and a framework for AI social good. The event underscores the Philippines’ potential to lead in human-centered AI development, enhancing global competitiveness while respecting local values.
