AI is here: Are we ready?
Manila Bulletin
|August 03 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept—it’s already transforming the way we live, work, and make decisions.
-
From customer service bots and algorithm-driven traffic systems to AI-generated learning tools and financial technologies, AI is reshaping industries and everyday life. But in the face of this global wave, a pressing question emerges for the Philippines: are we prepared?
In recent years, the government has taken crucial steps to embrace AI. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) have recognized AI as a key pillar for economic competitiveness. In 2021, the National AI Roadmap was launched with goals to develop an AI ecosystem and establish the country as an “AI Center for Excellence” in the ASEAN region.
In February 2025, the Department of Education (DepEd) launched the Education Center for AI Research (ECAIR) to provide AI-powered solutions in the education system. Started in 2024, this initiative builds on the pioneering efforts of the Center for AI Research (CAIR).
