Before AI, I can only have about 5 unfinished papers and 1 polished paper. AI boosted my productivity so much that I now have 136 unfinished papers and 1 polished paper.

How should boards govern AI systems that are already making decisions about credit, pricing, and hiring? Wrote about this for @bworldph. Short answer: Apply the same governance discipline you already use for financial models and cybersecurity programs. bworldonline.com/opinion/2026/0…

@tan2sy Hello! 🥰

Farewell to a Filipino tech icon. I cherish the few times I had the opportunity to chat with Dado about data science, AI, and technology in general. He was an inspiration to many. Rest in peace, Dado. My deepest condolences to his family.

This just reminds me how we really need to have data backups, even for data stored in the cloud with these providers. Huhu

@overleaf is down :(

@kris_ablan Super taray look, ASec! ☺️

Kumusta lunes niyo mga beshies?

We can’t just keep buying flashy tech from vendors. If users aren’t equipped to use it, it’s wasted investment. AI and other tech look great in demos, but real impact comes from operationalizing them. How do they work on the ground? How do we ensure adoption? Literacy and change management matter.

"This is the latest 'love team'—AI and education. DepEd is a good home for it. AI can really fast-track solutions and jumpstart a lot of things in the education system." IN PHOTOS: The Department of Education, through the initiative of Secretary Sonny Angara, launched the Education Center for AI Research (E-CAIR). E-CAIR is a strategic initiative under DepEd that will tap AI technologies to solve long-standing challenges, particularly in distributing the voucher program efficiently, gathering health information of learners, improving client relations through a quick response tool for queries and concerns of the public, and mapping out schools that need additional facilities and learning materials. #DepEdPhilippines #BagongPilipinas

Yesterday, I had the honor to address over 150 bank compliance officers at the ABCOMP 2025 Annual Conference to talk about #AIgovernance. Sharing some of my thoughts from the session 👇🏻 AI Governance and Compliance: Who’s Accountable? eflegara.github.io/blog/20250212/

Wazzup, @CebuPacificAir?!?

Thank you, Raffy!

Better late than never 🖤 Thank you, Tatler Philippines , for the thoughtful gesture of delivering my trophy 🏆 Now the Tatler Impact Award for Science & Innovation feels truly real! 🥰 Also grateful to @TatlerAsia for the Most Influential award. (I missed the Tatler Ball due to health reasons, and it truly pained me not to be there to celebrate such a special, special moment.)

We must commit to being intentional and adaptable as we face these changes. We owe it to ourselves. #Upskilling #LifelongLearning

The future of work isn't about saving every job 🤷🏻‍♀️that's simply not possible. We must prepare ourselves for inevitable changes. But with institutional support plus personal initiative, we can better navigate this new IR, regardless of whether we call it the 4th, 5th, or 6th.

Recently, I’ve been more candid about the importance of upskilling and reskilling to protect workers amid rapid tech changes, especially AI. Three ideas in a thread. 👇 #FutureOfWork #AI #Upskilling

@ljvmiranda I love how you’re so deeply immersed and really getting your hands dirty pushing for algorithmic innovations! Congrats, LJ! 👏🏼

My favorite part about this release is that we were able to replicate our findings from the Tülu 3 post-training recipe here (e.g., on-policy preferences, RLVR) and found significant performance gains in our -DPO and -Instruct models! Find all artifacts here: huggingface.co/collections/al…
