Two articles from the The New York Times published today show both the boon and bane of AI.

On one hand, unregulated AI can provide problems, as discussed in https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/business/media/chicago-sun-times-ai-reading-list.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare.

On the other, there is so much promise in AI that the designer of the iPhone, Jony Ive, has partnered with OpenAI to create more ubiquitous AI integrations. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/technology/openai-jony-ive-deal.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

AI isn’t coming. It’s already here—disrupting how businesses operate, serve, and grow; and so much hype has been made about Artificial Intelligence.

Hype can be dangerous if it blinds us from the ethical, critical, and responsible use of this game-changing technology.

That’s why we have collaborated with the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Islands to present “AI Beyond the Hype”, a course built for business leaders like you—entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and professionals who want to harness AI without compromising values, people, or long-term sustainability.

This course cuts through the buzzwords and equips you with decision-making frameworks and practical tools you can use to immediately influence the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Early registration discounts are available for a limited time.

ACES - AI Beyond the Hype

What if the real power of AI isn’t in replacing us—but in revealing who’s ready to rise?

This piece from The Economist dives into how AI is creating a growing divide—not between man and machine, but between those who use it wisely and those who don’t. Companies who used AI properly report about a 10-15% increase in productivity. The question isn’t if AI will change the game. It’s how you’ll choose to play it.

Where will you find yourself in the AI revolution?

How AI will divide the best from the rest Optimists hope the technology will be a great equaliser. Instead, it looks likely to widen social divides

This very concern is what led us to conduct our upcoming course, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Islands.

We will be faced with AI, the bigger question is: how should we prepare for and utilize AI that is ethical, critical and responsible?

In the latest installment of his weekly column, Joshua Rothman reckons with an uncomfortable truth: there’s no longer any scenario in which A.I. fades into irrelevance. On the contrary, the technology is improving with surprising speed; artificial general intelligence, a roughly human level of intellectual firepower and independence, could arrive by 2030, or sooner. Many researchers seem confident that the next generation of A.I. systems, which are probably due later this year or early next, will be decisive. They’ll allow for the widespread adoption of automated cognitive labor, kicking off a period of technological acceleration with profound economic and geopolitical implications.

We may not know exactly how A.I. advances will unfold, but we already know a lot. A.I. can discuss and explain many subjects at a Ph.D. level, predict how proteins will fold, program a computer, inflate the value of a memecoin, and more. We can also be certain that it will improve by some significant margin over the next few years—and that people will be figuring out how to use it in ways that affect how we live, work, discover, build, and create.

While civil society is utterly absorbed in the political and social crises of our times, we may not be prepared for the technological transformation that’s about to engulf us, Rothman writes. “But if we don’t attend to it, the people creating the technology will be single-handedly in charge of how it changes our lives.” Read Rothman's column, in which he considers the rapid acceleration of A.I., and why it’s critical that those of us outside the tech industry have a voice in its advances: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/0ohI0p

The Future of Work: Core Skills for 2030

The workplace is evolving rapidly, and so are the skills that will define success. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, the core skills of 2030 will go beyond technical expertise. AI & big data, technological literacy, analytical thinking, and systems thinking will be crucial—but so will resilience, adaptability, leadership, and social influence.

What stands out is the growing importance of human-centric skills—empathy, active listening, motivation, and self-awareness—which will be just as essential as digital fluency. The future of work won’t just be about mastering technology; it will require a balance of cognitive, social, and emotional intelligence.

With rapid advancements in automation and AI, continuous upskilling and lifelong learning are no longer optional—they’re a necessity. Are you ready for the future? Start preparing today.
