Filipino Jobs Safe from AI Takeover, Thanks to Limited Tech Adoption
2025-02-18

Manila Bulletin
The World Bank has brought some relief to Filipino workers, stating that developing countries like the Philippines have lower exposure to AI disruptions. This means that artificial intelligence is less likely to replace human jobs in these countries, at least for now. With the Philippines having limited technology adoption, the impact of AI on employment will be slower. This gives the country some breathing room to prepare for the future of work, focusing on skills development and digital literacy to remain competitive in the job market, including emerging trends like machine learning and automation.
