The MoU signing took place during an Advisors Meeting with key stakeholders, underscoring a unified vision to establish the Philippines as a frontrunner in AI development in the region.
Flagship AI Congress to Showcase National Initiatives
The organization’s central initiative, the Global AI Congress — set for Jan. 22, 2025 — will serve as the Global AI’s flagship event, branded as “SONAI” (State of the Nation in Artificial Intelligence). Global AI Council Philippines’ Executive Director, Catz Jalandoni, emphasized that SONAI will bring together representatives from government, academia, and the private sector to foster collaboration and share best practices for AI adoption nationwide. “Through this congress, we aim not only to share information but to create a sustainable network that strengthens our national AI efforts,” Ms. Jalandoni said.
