The Community will prioritise innovative digital solutions – PM Andrew Holness
Prime Minister of Jamaica, Dr. the Most Hon. Andrew Holness
In a world increasingly defined by rapid technological change, CARICOM must embrace the transformative potential of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, to drive economic growth, enhance public safety, and improve the quality of life of its people.
The Incoming Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Dr. the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, made the point in a video message ahead of the Forty-Ninth Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM, which he will host in Montego Bay, 6-8 July. The theme of the Meeting is ‘People, Partnerships, Prosperity: Promoting a Secure and Sustainable Future.’
Referencing the Regional Digital Development Strategy, Prime Minister Holness said the Community will prioritise digital literacy, cyber security, and innovative solutions that can streamline governance, improve healthcare, and expand educational opportunities.
“We will work to ensure that AI and other emerging technologies are harnessed in ways that align with our values, promoting inclusion, fairness, and data privacy. This is not just about keeping pace with global trends, but moreso about empowering our people to compete and thrive in the digital age,” he said.
