The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace of digital transformation worldwide. In the Philippines, the protracted lockdown has brought about a shift to digital and online payments. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the catalyst for the increased tempo of what is now widely known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Leveling up to AI: DTI roadmap shows the way

As it is commonly understood, AI “refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.” After the introduction of smartphones, digital voice assistants — such as Amazon and Apple’s Alexa and Siri — became popular applications of AI as a tool for more convenient daily living.

Two weeks ago, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launched the national artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap that placed the Philippines on the list of the first 50 countries in the world to adopt a national strategy and policy on AI. Secretary Ramon Lopez declared that the Philippines is seeking to become an AI center for excellence in the region “that is backed by our rich local talent pool and vibrant innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.”
