The Philippine Supreme Court formally adopted the Governance Framework on the Use of Human-Centered Augmented Intelligence in the Judiciary (A.M. No. 25-11-28-SC) in April 2026. This represents a landmark resolution aimed at integrating advanced technology into the administration of justice as a key component of the Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022-2027 (SPJI).
The framework establishes a dedicated governance mechanism within the judiciary for AI oversight and adoption, with explicit emphasis on human-centered principles. This constitutes the establishment of a named AI governance body at the institutional level within the judicial branch, complementing the existing DepEd governance framework.
Scoring note: Dimension 10 (Named AI governance body) is reinforced by this Supreme Court-level institutional framework, demonstrating multi-sectoral governance development beyond basic education, indicating a broader move toward institutionalized AI oversight across government sectors.
