Marcos, Jr., sanctioned the formation of a think tank that will formulate a roadmap for AI implementation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The think tank, primarily governed by the Department of Science and Technology, will oversee the drafting of AI policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cProtection doesn\u2019t imply retention. It could signify upgrading, seeking alternative employment, facilitating their work transition, and providing social safety nets. That\u2019s our current position,\u201d Mr. Laguesma remarked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Meanwhile, DEPDev Undersecretary Rosemarie G. Edillon observed that the minimal exposure to AI derives from the overall low degree of technology adoption in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cFundamentally, especially regarding data and model creation, this is precisely where an ethical policy on AI utilization is imperative,\u201d she emphasized. \u2014 <b>Aubrey Rose A.
