Cabinet invited the Assistant Principal of the UWI Five Island Campus, Professor Curtis Charles, to address the issue of the Second Annual Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Since the OAS General Assembly will take place in late June 2025, the annual conference on AI will precede the OAS General Assembly by two days.

UWI Five Islands Campus has shown an abiding interest in teaching AI to new students, and the OAS members have indicated their interest in adopting AI for a host of solutions.

It was suggested that UWI expertise in AI could be effectively deployed to further professionalize the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda and to serve Criminal Justice.

Antigua and Barbuda will provide fifty scholarships to the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda annually, for its members to earn Bachelor of Science Degrees in the application of Artificial Intelligence to Criminology.

The UWI Professor indicated that UWI is keen to apply AI Solutions to three Cs of governance: Crime, Climate Change, and Non-Communicable Diseases. UWI will also apply AI solutions to FIN-TECH banking, sports management, and public health.
