It addresses the concerns and risks associated with the rapid advancement of AI capabilities and emphasizes the importance of inclusive and comprehensive policies to mitigate potential harms and foster responsible AI development. The petition draws attention to significant events, such as the call to pause giant AI experiments, the US Federal Trade Commission complaint against OpenAI, and the concerns raised by deep learning pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, which underscore the global apprehension surrounding AI. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the specific concerns of AI workers in the Majority World, with a focus on the Philippines, and the role of the country in formulating timely regulations. Recommendations are proposed to enhance AI governance, including the development of a national AI strategy, the establishment of an AI ethics committee, adherence to international standards like the UNESCO Recommendation on Ethics of AI, promotion of AI literacy and upskilling programs, protection of vulnerable groups, and the consideration of environmental sustainability. By implementing these recommendations, the Philippines can contribute to the ethical governance of AI and safeguard the interests of its citizens in the digital era. The paper underscores the need for collaboration with key stakeholders and civil society organizations to ensure transparency, accountability, and public participation in AI policymaking processes.

How do you turn a broad amorphous concept like human morality into something that can be instilled in a new system? In the case of artificial intelligence, a critical inquiry will happen in the long run. The only way to better prepare for the future and prevent the unfortunate consequences AGI and superintelligence will bring is delving into the critical questions AI raises.
For instance, the ultimate challenge of machine ethics: how do you build an AI which, when it executes, becomes more ethical than you; and the AI governance problem: the problem of devising global norms, policies, and institutions to best ensure the beneficial development and use of advanced AI.
In this paper, these two points will be taken through an introduction for a normative theory I will propose that is fit for the new world order transformative technologies like artificial intelligence bring about.

Digital media is accelerating crackdowns on human rights and basic civil liberties across nations, especially in the Global South. And for the Philippines, the problem on digital deceit: [a] the weaponization of social media, [b] the state-sponsored internet propaganda, [c] the anarchy of numbers within social media algorithms in general, and [d] the lack of accountability among digital platform providers-altogether is an imminent fatal flaw for democracy and the lives of many Filipinos. The details on how this is the case, what can we learn from this, what we should and can do are points this presentation will shed light on.

Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Values rated and ranked 30 countries, based on a rigorous methodology and 12 metrics established to assess alignment with democratic values.
The 2021 AI Index expands the global coverage from 30 countries to 50 countries, acknowledges the significance of the UNESCO Recommendation on AI ethics, and reviews earlier country ratings. The 2021 report is the result of the work of more than 100 AI policy experts in almost 40 countries.
The 2022 AI Index covers 75 countries. The metrics have been updated to take into consideration the implementation of the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on AI Ethics as well as the 2022 Global Privacy Assembly Resolution on Facial Recognition. Country reports headings have been harmonized to ease reference and comparative analysis. Relevant regional frameworks have been systematically taken into account in the country reports.The 2022 report is the result of the work of more than 200 AI policy experts in almost 60 countries.
