MANILA, Philippines — A bill that aims to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the country has been filed in the House of Representatives. "AI is not just a buzzword—it's a powerful force reshaping our world. We must embrace innovation, but not at the expense of our workers' dignity, livelihood, and rights," Cavite 2nd District Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, one of the authors of the bill, said in a statement on Sunday. The other authors of House Bill 252 were Cavite 1st District Rep. Ramon Jolo Revilla 3rd and AGIMAT Rep. Bryan Revilla. The bill seeks to create the Artificial Intelligence Bureau in the Department of Information and Communications Technology. Under the bill, the bureau will “publish and submit to Congress a roadmap for the government regarding the development and ethical use of AI in a way that protects the rights of Filipinos and promote their welfare through such technological advancements." The bureau will develop a national AI development and regulation strategy; lead research and development activities to promote the advancement of AI technology, develop a framework of governance over the introduction of [AI]-powered systems; create rules and regulations to prevent the displacement of workers due to AI "while ensuring that the country benefits from the positive consequences of such technological advancements." It will hold consultations with concerned government agencies, the business sector, workers, the academe, and other stakeholders to craft relevant and enforceable rules and regulations and monitor the AI-using firms' compliance with the principles and ethical guidelines on AI use.
