From PH AI Note
AI · Sectoral risk-based
No comprehensive AI statute in force. Risk-based classification (prohibited / high-risk / limited-risk / minimal-risk) operates in two sectoral instruments — Supreme Court A.M. No. 25-11-28-SC (judiciary) and DepEd Order No. 003 s. 2026 (education). Pending: 17+ House Bills (HB 13, 1920, 2827, 3195 …) and SB 25 propose a national framework.
Privacy · Operational
Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) is the core regime, administered by the National Privacy Commission. NPC Circular 2022-04 governs registration and notification of automated decision-making and profiling; NPC Advisory 2024-04 anchors deployer accountability for AI systems. Section 6 reach is extraterritorial.
Cyber · Operational
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 covers AI-enabled offences (computer-related fraud, identity theft, illegal access). Konektadong Pinoy Act IRR imposes incident reporting on AI-relevant systems via NCERT. BSP Circular 1153 + Memo M-2024-029 (AFASA) regulate AI/ML in financial services.
