Future research should explore pedagogical strategies that preserve traditional artistic values while preparing students to navigate an evolving creative landscape.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed smartphone use and enhanced the entire mobile experience. AI integration in mobile phones has become a game changer for the future of technology. This paper evaluates the factors that influence AI smartphone continuance usage intention. The study is anchored to technology continuance theory (TCT) with additional factors. Data were obtained from 745 Gen Z from various cities in Metro Manila, Philippines, and examined using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study found that utilitarian and hedonic value, confirmation, and perceived usefulness had a positive influence on satisfaction, which was the most significant predictor of AI smartphone continuance usage intention. Further, personal innovativeness and attitude of users had a significant influence on continuance usage intention. Surprisingly, perceived usefulness and AI smartphone continuance usage intention had an insignificant relationship. The study contributes as the first empirical investigation of the continuance usage intention of AI smartphones among Gen Z in a developing nation like the Philippines.

This paper seeks to predict a consumer's green purchase intention and classify them as green consumers or not through a set of cognitive and behavioral factors. Data were obtained from 526 Generation Z in the National Capital Region (NCR), Philippines, and evaluated through various machine learning techniques, namely, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Support Vector Machines. Various performance metrics were used to validate these models. The findings show that most of the models achieved above 80% classification performance. Further, the study revealed that perceived behavioral control, green perceived value, and social media impact were the most crucial factors of green purchase intention, followed by environmental consciousness, green perceived quality, and environmental knowledge. Interestingly, green self-identification achieved the lowest rank, which suggests that green purchase intention among Filipino Generation Z is driven more by practical and psychological factors than just environmental awareness and identity. Finally, theoretical and practical implications are offered at the end of the study.
