AI is fast developing and widely used both internationally and locally. Developed countries are investing in the advancement of this technology to support a better, efficient and highly productive economy, and to advance practices in different sectors like health, agriculture, fishing and forestry. Moreover, the development hopes to facilitate better finance, retail and manufacturing systems to further boost the national and local economy. This, to the least extent, seeks to improve government and administration, as well as health. However, based on research findings, there are negative externalities that come with the unregulated development and adoption AI. Possible impacts are job loss for works considered as repetitive- the nature which can be accomplished by the machines/AI, data privacy issues if not properly handled and many others.
Hence, the country, through a policy, must prepare, and put proper safety nets before other developed countries will fully maximize AI, which may also affect one of our leading GNP contributors, our OFWs. This is the reason why this signature campaign is advocated by SAIL 2.0 Project Team.
WE, the undersigned, call on the PHILIPPINE CONGRESS AND SENATE HOUSES to take concrete action and start crafting a policy on RESPONSIBLE AI ADOPTION across different sectors to protect the Filipino workers both here and abroad. And to minimize its negative impact by having a clear policy and guidelines on how, where and when to adopt AI technology that will ensure sustainable environment and will not disrupt the human society. To ensure that human society and ethics are highly upheld and protected beyond the usefulness of the AI technology.
