What was once taught as statistical modeling and decision support systems now fall under the evolving umbrella of artificial intelligence (AI).
Fortunato T. de la Pe帽a, former secretary of the Department of Science and Technology and an academician at the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), reflects on the shift from traditional to generative AI.
NAST, he further said, is updating its foresight document called PAGTANAW 2050 (LOOKING AHEAD 20250) to reflect recent developments in technology.
PAGTANAW 2050 is a collection of science and technology trends, national and global goals, and emerging innovations that support the country鈥檚 development.
鈥淭he more substantive part is section 4, which discusses 12 operational areas,鈥 Mr. de la Pe帽a told 大象传媒. 鈥淭his is where AI comes into the picture鈥s AI transcends all the different sectors.鈥
鈥淭he updating will take probably another year, because this will be consultative,鈥 he added.
