MOBILE GOVERNANCE USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

MOBILE GOVERNANCE USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE My business partner Jaynie Labay, has built a new Filipino oriented social networking platform (SNP), and she is calling it the Mobile Governance Platform, or MGOV for short. It would not be correct to call it the first Filipino SNP, because there are many other SNPs that are already in the market. However, it would probably be correct for her to claim that it is the first SNP to target all the mobile users in the Philippines with the goal of offering them all the public oriented services that they would possibly need. At first I thought that she was developing a government app, meaning an app that could service all government transactions, but I eventually realized that it was more than a goverment app, because it could also service many other requirements of mobile users, whenever they want to transact or do business with private sector companies. In other words, it is now a multisectoral app, if we could call it that. I also thought at first that she was developing a purely mobile app, but I also eventually realized that it has to become a dual function app, meaning it has to work not only as a mobile app, but also as a web app, just like all the other popular SNPs such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In reality however, most netizens would tend to access their favorite SNPs via mobile apps, and not via web apps. Just like all the other SNPs in the market, MGOV was built using Artificial Intelligence (AI), and it is in fact capable of using AI to process both the public sector and the private sector transactions that are required by the mobile users. Since that is the case, it goes without saying that MGOV could already use the science of AI for governance, in line with the government's digitalization programs. As it is now, MGOV is already ready for use in most of the transactions for National Government Agencies (NGAs) and Local Government Units (LGUs), but whatever is not available now could immediately be programmed into the software in a few days time. By the way, MGOV is fully compliant with the Data Privacy Law, and the mandatory requirements of BIR and COA. Just like any other SNP, MGOV will be free to download, to be used by any netizen, private company, NGA or LGU. However, AEX, the company behind MGOV has agreed to join me in my advocacy to help the government in its digitalization program. AEX has asked me to offer MGOV to the government, through DICT Secretary Ivan Uy, and I have agreed. Since MGOV is free to use, there is no more use for a public bidding. If and when necessary, AEX would also be willing to provide optional training programs at affordable costs. The digitalization of government is good for all of us, regardless of our political persuasion or social status. Let us all support the government in this program. Let us all download and use MGOV, after all, it is free to use, just like Facebook. Unlike the other SNPs however, MGOV has no ads scamming, and it ensures user safety. Since it is independent of the other SNPs, it could not be sanctioned, controlled or manipulated by them. That is also good for our national security. IKE SENERES/07-05-24
