The Spin
Narrative A
The Philippines is among many nations that believe AI is an emerging technology that poses a pressing global challenge. It's right to emphasize the need for a conversation to establish rules and institutions to govern the responsible use of AI. On a broader scale, it wants the UN to create a legally binding instrument prohibiting lethal autonomous weapons systems.
Narrative B
AI is a catch-all for everything, from relatively uncontroversial technology like autocomplete to crime-predicting software. Our fears about the latter, underlined by Hollywood's apocalyptic portrayals of the technology, might be overwhelming our beliefs. Inevitably, AI will seep into almost every sphere of life. It would be better to keep pace with it than play catch-up.
