SM City Baguio Shares the Love of Learning Through AI, Connecting Generations in the Digital Age

 Learning knows no age. At SM City Baguio, children and senior citizens came together to discover the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) during an interactive learning session held in partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology – Cordillera Administrative Region (DICT-CAR).


 

More than an introduction to emerging technology, the session created a space where generations could learn together, ask questions, and discover how AI can be used responsibly in everyday life.

10-year-old Jacob Jimenez raises questions during the AI learning session, exploring how Artificial Intelligence can support learning and creativity.

For young participants, the activity encouraged curiosity and creativity, showing how AI can support learning and inspire new ideas. Ten-year-old Jacob Jimenez, a Grade 5 student, was eager to explore more.

“I want to know more about AI because it is futuristic technology. I tried a game where you have to use AI, and I also made an app,” Jacob shared.

His mother, Joan Jimenez, appreciated the opportunity for children to become more familiar with technology that is increasingly part of their everyday lives.

“I am very thankful kasi ino-open ng SM City Baguio ang mga ganitong opportunities para sa mga kids. I hope na mas marami pang ganitong programs,” she shared.

 

Senior citizens actively engage in a discussion on Artificial Intelligence with DICT-CAR, gaining practical insights on how AI can be used safely and responsibly in everyday life.

For senior citizens, the session offered a chance to become more comfortable with digital technology while learning important lessons on online safety and scams.

Senior participant Cheryl Alquiza shared how the discussions helped her become more aware of potential risks in the digital space.

“We learned so much information... Sometimes, we are very vulnerable to scams,” Cheryl shared.

   

AI FOR ALL AGES – Senior citizens and kids actively participate in the AI learning session led by DICT-CAR.

The inclusive nature of the activity highlighted how technology can bring people together across generations.

“From kids to seniors, it only goes to show na yung technology ay walang pinipiling edad. Very inclusive siya,” said DICT-CAR Engineer Katherine Aguilar.

 

For SM City Baguio, the initiative reflects its commitment to creating meaningful experiences that bring communities closer, making the mall not only a place for shopping and entertainment, but also a space for learning, connection, and growth.

Through initiatives like this, SM continues to share the Love of Community by creating opportunities where everyone, regardless of age, can learn, participate, and embrace the possibilities of a digital future.
