The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in the Philippines is currently working on their first artificial intelligence (AI) model.

The DICT is working on the Philippine National AI (PNAI) which soon be the country’s AI tool.

Assistant Secretary Mary Rose Magsaysay, deputy executive director of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), has stated in the “Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon” briefing in Malacañang: “This one, the Philippines’ first national AI, will be something that is based on our culture, trained by the Filipinos, having all the laws of the Philippines, having all the issuances of the Philippine government.”

She also added, “So when you ask it, you will not be given fake news, speculation, or gossip; and when you talk to it, it speaks in the dialect.”

The DICT plans to launch PNAI on July 28, 2025 which is right before the 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA).
