Philippines leads SE Asia in GenAI course demand on Coursera

The Philippines continues to show the highest demand for Generative AI (GenAI) courses in Southeast Asia, according to Coursera.

Filipino learners have dedicated 80,000 hours to GenAI learning on Coursera, an increase from previous figures.

Enrollments for GenAI courses in the Philippines see one new enrollment every nine minutes this year, a faster rate than in 2024.

The surge in demand for AI upskilling is attributed to the significant media attention surrounding these new skills and the need to reskill and upskill for the rise of AI.

To cater to this demand, Coursera has expanded its GenAI course offerings and announced a new pricing plan for the Philippines, offering access to over 10,000 courses for $24 a month to increase accessibility.

Popular GenAI courses among Filipinos focus on areas like social media management and introductory GenAI concepts, with contributions from tech companies like Google, Meta, and IBM.
