MANILA - Tech giant Microsoft is looking to train Filipinos in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity fluency amid emerging risks. Microsoft is part of the high-level US trade mission in the Philippines.

Mary Snapp, Microsoft VP for strategic initiatives, said the company aims train 100,000 learners in AI and cybersecurity, and increase broadband connectivity.

This is part of Microsoft's commitment to 'skill' up to 2 million people in the Indo-Pacific region.  

"Our cyber resilience program is about ensuring not only democracies but journalists, government officials can be better protected from email hacks, help identify when that happens, and help mediate should it happen from foreign state actors," Snapp said.

There are already many courses on LinkedIn that help learners better understand AI and cybersecurity, she added. 

Microsoft recently launched its Copilot AI platform, which integrated with the software giant's most popular apps such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Teams. Copilot lets users use AI to generate documents, images, designs and insights.
