Researchers are looking at the vast opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) to the Philippines to improve different local industries amid fears that the technology may soon replace the human workforce.

UP Computer Science Department Chairman Dr. Pros Naval said AI as a “transformative technology” can create more jobs for Filipinos.

“AI is not going to completely replace human beings. AI is a transformative technology. Sometimes it could be disruptive but the way I see it is that it could transform the lives of people, not only the lives but also the workplace,” Naval said.

Dr. CP David, executive director of the Department of Science and Technology Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), said they are sending 10 students and professors to Silicon Valley in the United States to study machine learning technology.

"There’s a chance, an opportunity for the Philippines to be a big player in this field," he said.

Naval and David join ANC’s “Future Perfect” to discuss the possibilities offered by AI in the Philippines.
