Developing AsPac lags in AI readiness

Manila Bulletin

April 11, 2026

The Philippines is among developing economies in Asia-Pacific that continue to lag behind advanced regional peers in artificial intelligence (AI) preparedness, limiting near-term gains due to gaps in infrastructure, skills, and innovation capacity, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

In a special topic titled “AI Readiness and Economic Impacts in Asia and the Pacific”, published as part of its Asian Development Outlook (ADO) April 2026 report on Friday, April 10, the Manila-based ADB examined how AI preparedness, infrastructure capacity, and labor market readiness vary widely across economies in the region.

The report, written by Roshen Fernando and Ed Kieran Reyes of the ADB’s economic research and development impact department, highlighted a clear divide between advanced Asia-Pacific (AAP) economies and developing Asia-Pacific (DAP) economies, including the Philippines.
