Filipino Jobs Safe from AI Takeover, Thanks to Limited Tech Adoption

Manila Bulletin
The World Bank has brought some relief to Filipino workers, stating that developing countries like the Philippines have lower exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) disruptions. This means that AI is unlikely to immediately replace human workers in these countries. With the slow adoption of automation technology, Filipino jobs are likely to be safer for now. However, it's essential for workers to develop skills that complement AI and automation to remain competitive in the job market. The Philippines can leverage this advantage to focus on upskilling and reskilling its workforce, preparing them for the future of work and potential tech disruptions.
