Artificial intelligence (AI) skills are becoming increasingly essential for Filipino workers as the country faces a talent shortage amid the boom in emerging technologies, according to enterprise IT management software company ManageEngine. The report, published by BusinessWorld, highlights the need for AI proficiency across various sectors.
ManageEngine emphasized that acquiring AI skills must not be limited to the corporate level but should be integrated into academic settings to prepare students for the evolving job market. The company noted that the rapid development of emerging technologies has created a significant demand for workers with AI expertise.
The call for AI upskilling comes as businesses in the Philippines increasingly adopt automation and data-driven decision-making. Without a skilled workforce, the country risks falling behind in the global digital economy, warned industry observers.
