A regulatory framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) was one of the topics discussed last week between CARICOM and the UNDP. Officials from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) met from 4-6 March at the Community’s Headquarters in Georgetown to concretise a joint action plan for their cooperation.
The officials addressed a 2024 Action Plan to operationalise the CARICOM-UNDP Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which expressed their intention to work toward the development of Small Island Development States (SIDS) of the Caribbean.
Signed in September 2022, the MOU, emphasises cooperation on governance; climate and disaster resilience, sustainable energy, and natural resource management; citizen safety and security; economic development including the Blue Economy; innovation and digital inclusion of youth; financing for development, and institutional strengthening, a release yesterday from CARICOM said.
