Sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na kailangang matutunan ng gobyerno kung paano haharapin ang artificial intelligence (AI).

Ginawa ng Pangulo ang pahayag sa kanyang talumpati sa paglulunsad ng media information literacy campaign ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO) noong Lunes, Agosto 14.

"With the advent of AI, we can see that the tools that are available are becoming more and more powerful and we're all very grateful when there are machines do a little bit of thinking for us but it's also rather disconcerting when we are confronted by pure AI, hindi na tao yung kausap mo," pahayag ni Marcos.

"That's something that we have to learn how to deal with, and that is why what we are doing here today— starting this campaign— is very very important," dagdag na pahayag ng Pangulo.

Binigyang-diin ng Pangulo ang pangangailangan na tiyakin sa mga mamamayan lalo na sa mga kabataan na maunawaan ang katotohanan, espekulasyon, propaganda, at kagyat na kasinungalingan.

Ayon sa Pangulo, ito ay "urgent" job na kailangang simulan ngayon, sabay sabing "we need everyone to be involved."

"It is immediate, it is urgent and although I think if we put our minds to it, there is a way to allow our people to be able to discern from truth and everything else," ayon kay Marcos.

Iginiit rin ng Pangulo na kailangang kilalanin at tanggapin na mayroong "good information at bad information."

"I don't think that there's ever been any country no matter how much they wanted to do try and stop the internet or to try and block or try and cancel websites, they do for a little while, pero lilitaw din 'yan. We always somehow find a way in," sambit ni Marcos.

"So we have to, we have to find a way to make sure that whatever the inputs are people are getting, they have the capability, they have the ability to be able to discern between truth, speculation, propaganda, and outright lies," dagdag ng Pangulo.
