Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Management Association of the Philippines Pangilinan, who chairs the MVP Group, said AI, with its immense power, is not an existential threat but a tool.

“To all of us, AI is touted as this monumental technology that will forever alter the landscape of business. That is in fact true. AI will be impactful. For us frontlines in the technology battlefield, it is simply another big challenge,” Pangilinan said.

However, Pangilinan said the arrival of new technology often comes with fear and apprehensions.

“It carries with it the ghost of Macbeth’s Banquo. That ghost whispers into our collective ear: this will replace you. This will obsolete you. This will end you,” Pangilinan said.
