Zusammenfassung: 
Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to provide substantial contributions to Philippine growth and productivity in the coming years. Local government units (LGUs) may leverage on this new technology in providing enhanced public service delivery to their respective constituencies. The question now is how ready they are in adopting AI. This study assesses the preparedness of Philippine LGUs for AI adoption, identifies key barriers to implementation, and derives policyrelevant insights to support inclusive and sustainable AI adoption. Using an AI Readiness Index complemented by qualitative interviews with LGU officials, the study finds that, among other things, LGUs exhibit generally low to moderate readiness to AI adoption, with critical bottlenecks including shortages of ICT and AI-related skills, limited last-mile internet connectivity, and minimal budget allocations for digital initiatives. LGUs also face the challenge of balancing between providing essential public services that have immediate political dividends with the longer-term process of implementing and adopting AI for local governance. Policy implications point to the need for coordinated, multi-level interventions that align infrastructure investment, skills development, governance reforms, and resource allocation.
