Roads + Connectivity: Kingston’s East King’s House Road and Lady Musgrave Road are set for dualisation to ease congestion, with drainage, water/sewer upgrades and fibre optic ducts for broadband included. Public Wi-Fi Resilience: After Hurricane Melissa damage, the Universal Service Fund restored all 30 community Wi-Fi sites in St. James using a mix of fibre, satellite and solar power. AI for Government: Jamaica plans mandatory AI training for public servants, focusing on practical use and ethics to improve service delivery. AI Scam Alert: State Minister Delano Seiveright warns of a fraudulent AI-generated video using his image and voice to lure investors. Coral Science: Researchers are testing underwater speakers to help revive bleaching coral reefs by attracting marine life through sound. Skills for Tech Careers: Two young Jamaicans, Omar Cockett and Rayon-Jai Pusey, are set to represent Jamaica at WorldSkills in Shanghai in drone systems and autonomous robotics. Regional Finance: IFC will invest up to US$15M in a Caribbean climate-resilience debt fund managed by Sygnus, targeting SME financing across 13 countries. Digital Safety Debate: JYAN says Jamaica should strengthen online safety measures for children rather than rely on a blanket social media ban under 16.
