BUSINESS and government leaders all over the world are finally understanding just how transformative artificial intelligence (AI) is.

And it's not just big-time industry players who are driving this revolution. Even emerging players are trying to get in on the game — so much so that investments toward generative AI have recently been reported to have reached over $1 trillion. AI's influence is continuously growing across industries and is being used to advance disciplines in more ways than one can imagine. Of course, the Philippines, being one of the world's most digitally savvy nations, is not one to allow itself to be left behind.
