According to Philstar Biz, artificial intelligence literacy is no longer a niche skill but a baseline requirement across industries, as the rapid adoption of AI tools reshapes job expectations and workforce competencies.
In the Philippines, this shift is gaining traction as businesses and educational institutions recognize the need to integrate AI understanding into curricula and training programs. The report highlights that workers who lack AI literacy may find themselves at a disadvantage in a labor market increasingly driven by automation and data-driven decision-making.
Experts argue that AI literacy should be treated as a fundamental skill akin to digital literacy, urging policymakers and employers to invest in upskilling initiatives. As AI continues to permeate everyday tasks, the baseline for employability is being redefined, making AI fluency a critical component of future-ready careers.
