The Philippines is "ready" for artificial intelligence, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said during a trip to San Francisco late last year. The country's technological shift is apparent, but just as the Philippine masses swoon over the fast-evolving technology's promises, employees in several sectors have expressed fears about the negative impact of the tech's adoption in the workplace.
A 2023 survey on the likelihood of job loss due to AI in the Philippines, recently published by the Statista Research Department, found that around 73% of the respondents indicated it is likely AI adoption will lead to job losses in the country.
