Artificial Intelligence, Filipino Language, Education TechnologyAbstract
This essay explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming Filipino language learning by making lessons more interactive and adaptive. Tools like FiLLM, iTanong, and Kalahi offer innovative ways to teach grammar and culture, but concerns remain about cultural accuracy, unequal access to technology, and student over-reliance. The text calls for inclusive, culturally aware AI tools and teacher training to ensure AI supports—rather than replaces—traditional education.
