De La Salle University–Dasmariñas (DLSU-D) reaffirmed its commitment to responsible innovation by hosting the 6th DLSU-D High School Research Conference, gathering around 1,000 senior high school students from across the country.
With the theme centered on the ethical use of AI, the University brought together industry leaders and thought partners to guide young researchers in navigating emerging technologies with integrity and accountability.
A key highlight of the conference was the participation of PLDT and Smart, who supported DLSU-D’s advocacy for digital responsibility. Roby Alampay, First Vice President and Head of the Public Engagement Group, encouraged students to ground their use of AI in accountability.
“You can use AI all you want, but in the end, you must be accountable. That mindset will keep you responsible—and make you a better professional,” Alampay emphasized.
Organized in partnership with ThinkaMuna Pilipinas, the session underscored the importance of integrity, credibility, and critical thinking in an increasingly AI-driven academic landscape. Fellow speakers Mon Isberto, Charles Lejano, and Regina Lay also highlighted the critical role of media literacy in combating misinformation and promoting informed digital engagement.
Through initiatives like the High School Research Conference, DLSU-D continues to position itself as a leader in research education—empowering students not only with technical knowledge but also with the values needed to use technology responsibly.
By fostering conversations on ethics, accountability, and trust, the University strengthens its mission of forming future-ready learners who can navigate the digital world with discernment and purpose.
