Sen. Erwin Tulfo has filed a bill seeking to protect Filipino workers from losing their jobs as companies increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies.
Senate Bill No. 2563 aims to prevent companies from arbitrarily dismissing employees as they integrate AI into their operations. Tulfo said he does not oppose technological advancements but stressed that these should not come at the expense of workers’ livelihoods.
“Yung technological progress di maiiwasan iyan, pero di dapat maiwan yung manggagawang Pilipino na sila lang mahirapan dahil tinanggal sila basta-basta,” Tulfo said.
