In an interview on Radyo Pilipinas, a program under the Philippine Information Agency, Dr. Francis Mark Quimba, Senior Research Fellow at PIDS, discussed the challenges and opportunities of adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Philippine business sector. Issues such as limited internet connectivity, lack of venture capital for AI startups, and workforce skills gaps were emphasized as major barriers. Additionally, the country’s low ranking in government AI readiness and the absence of clear regulations were discussed.
The conversation also encouraged viewers to stay updated on the upcoming Development Policy Research Month (DPRM) this September, which will focus on AI and digital governance.
