The Philippine National Innovation Council has approved an AI governance framework drafted by the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DepDev), and the government will formally establish the National AI Council in November 2025. The Council will serve as the country's first formal national-level cross-agency body for coordinating AI policy and regulation.

What it means for you

  • With the governance framework approved, businesses will face a unified national-level AI policy channel once cross-agency coordination goes live
  • Parallel AI legislation and a national AI strategy are in progress, giving companies a window to join consultations and shape the rules
  • What to do
