Mayor Benjamin Magalong has urged education leaders to promote the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools, emphasizing that the technology should support learning rather than make students dependent on it.

BAGUIO CITY—Mayor Benjamin Magalong has urged education leaders to promote the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools, emphasizing that the technology should support learning rather than make students dependent on it.

In a statement Sunday, Nov. 8, Magalong stressed the need for proper and controlled use of AI in education during the 2026 Regional Assembly of Education Leaders (RAEL) of the Department of Education (DepEd) Mimaropa Region, which was held recently in this city.

Speaking before school principals, school heads and other education personnel, Magalong highlighted the role of teachers in keeping students curious and developing their critical thinking skills amid the growing use of AI in education.

Magalong said students should not rely too heavily on AI when completing academic work, noting the responsibility of educators to guide learners in using the technology as a learning tool without compromising their ability to think independently.

The assembly carried the theme, “Leading in the Age of AI: Transforming Education, Empowering People, Shaping the Future.”
