AGP Executive Report

Last update: 14 minutes ago

AI Policy & Local Tech: OpenJM, a Jamaican-developed agentic AI platform by Crimson Tide AI, is launching ahead of Jamaica’s public consultations on its first AI policy framework, aiming to keep more user data under local control and reduce hallucinations. Public Safety Tech: The Government has approved about $790m for JamaicaEye expansion and maintenance, including 300 CCTV cameras for Portmore and islandwide system upkeep, as debate continues over safety vs privacy. GBV App Contract: Amber Innovations will build the JamSafe app at no cost to the Government to connect people at risk of gender-based violence with emergency help, services, a 24-hour helpline, and AI-assisted support. Water & Energy Planning: Feasibility studies are underway for limited desalination in St Thomas and Clarendon, but officials say it won’t be a nationwide solution due to cost and environmental concerns. Healthcare Workers: Five medical technologists sue the Government over alleged unpaid wages and contract breaches, seeking back pay and legal-cost coverage. Science for Kids: TVJ’s “Science Zone” invites children to run a simple erupting volcano experiment using baking soda, vinegar, and food colouring.
