00:00 So, the beauty of AI is that it allows you to communicate with the machine.

00:06 That's the beauty of it.

00:08 And of course, there are things like I can customize it a little bit.

00:12 So, like for example, hey Alex, can you greet our friends?

00:16 Surely.

00:17 Hello and good day to our media partners.

00:20 I'm so glad that you are here today.

00:23 I can't wait to show you what my academy has to offer.

00:27 We hope that you can get to take a look at our facilities later on.

00:31 Please enjoy your stay.

00:33 Our journey has been one marked by resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence.

00:41 The power of media partners in disseminating information cannot be overstated.

00:46 Their ability to share our story has been instrumental in iAcademy's achieving a remarkable 96% job placement rate.

00:55 A testament to the quality of education and the relevance of our specialized programs.

01:00 We have the partnerships with Toon Boom and all these industry things.

01:04 It cannot help but actually expand the ways in which the students can maximize all this access.

01:12 Because, you know, at my age, there's less of that.

01:17 And now because it's expanding and because there's no better time.

01:21 Right now, all entertainment is looking for diversification.

01:25 They're looking for authentic voices.

01:28 Oh my gosh, this is the best time to be a young artist in whatever field.

01:33 Because the world is now your oyster.

01:35 Higher and Technical Education Chairman, Congressman Marco, had proposed that there should be a government program to teach 1 million Filipinos in artificial intelligence.

01:44 If ever it becomes a law, is iAcademy open to be a part of this endeavor that Congressman Marco is pushing?

01:54 Personally, I'm open to that.

01:56 Why? Number one, in the US, everybody is using AI right now, even nurses.

02:03 You go to the street, there's a kid who is actually reading something.

02:07 He's reading ChatGPT.

02:09 He's reading on ChatGPT, not even the things I will type in ChatGPT, I want Snow White stories.

02:19 He'll give you a link, you click it, and then you'll read it.

02:22 So why do you need a specific like Kindle? You don't need that anymore.

02:26 Just ask ChatGPT or any AI, where they can actually teach you.

02:32 Is the curriculum ready for the changes that will happen to technologies on VR, AR, and whatsoever?

02:40 The beauty of our partnership is that they are part of how we shape our curriculum.

02:47 So you saw only 200, right?

02:49 But the key players in animation, virtual, and augmented reality are present in how we design the curriculum.

02:58 So whatever needs to be changed, they are there.

03:02 We normally hold meetings with them every term or at least once a year.

03:07 We consult them and see how updated our curriculums are so that we're always current.

03:14 We're always updated. So definitely, we're very prepared.

03:18 [silence]
