In a recent interview with Philstar Biz, ASUS Co-CEO Samson Hu said Filipino workers are ready for artificial intelligence, but businesses may not be. Hu, who has a deep engineering background, described the enterprise AI gap as an organizational and structural bottleneck rather than a technological one.
According to Hu, the readiness of the workforce contrasts with the slower adoption of AI tools by companies. He suggested that firms need to address internal structures and processes to fully leverage AI, rather than focusing solely on technology upgrades.
The remarks highlight a broader challenge for Philippine businesses as AI adoption accelerates globally. Experts note that successful integration depends on aligning organizational culture, training, and leadership commitment alongside technological investment.
