Practice question
An LGU engages a job-order worker whose public-service tasks involve an AI-enabled platform. The supervisor claims that section 3 of the issued DICT–CSC JMC No. 003, s. 2026 imposes no responsibility concerning this person because a job order is not a permanent appointment. Which reading is most accurate?
- The supervisor may ignore AI principles for all job-order work
- The worker automatically becomes a permanent civil servant
- Every private vendor becomes an LGU employee
- The head or supervisor must ensure observation of the principles, with compliance governed by the contract consistent with applicable rules
- The circular recognizes no distinction between appointments and service contracts
