AI is reshaping economies, industries and societies. However, the pivotal question the Caribbean region must answer is whether we are truly prepared to harness AI’s potential while managing the challenges it brings. In this podcast episode, we are joined by Rodney Taylor, Secretary General of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union, and Dr Craig Ramlal, Executive Director of the AI Innovation Centre, to discuss the 1st Caribbean Artificial Intelligence Forum and what AI readiness means for the region. Some of the topics covered include: the biggest barriers preventing wider AI adoption across the Caribbean; how the region can avoid increasing digital inequalities as AI adoption accelerates; and what investments are most urgently needed to support the Caribbean’s AI transition.
