Last update: 9 hours ago

AI and jobs: A new study warns AI could put about 60,000 Jamaican jobs at risk, with data-entry, call-centre, secretarial and teller roles most exposed, though higher-skill work may be more resilient. Workforce training: The GAINS Programme is set to push AI skills into communities, offering certification and employment pathways, with a stipend for at-risk youth. Cybersecurity push: Jamaica’s security agencies plan expanded public education to help people spot and avoid AI-fuelled cyber threats like phishing and business email scams. Digital sovereignty: Government officials say they’re exploring a “data embassy” model to protect Jamaica’s digital information in a separate jurisdiction. Schools connectivity: Recovery efforts after Hurricane Melissa have reconnected hundreds of schools and supplied tech support. Creative tech: Adtelligent’s new volumetric studio, backed by DBJ funding, aims to boost Jamaica’s digital marketing industry. Ocean science: UWI and regional partners are hosting forums on Cuba’s crisis and the UN’s urgent ocean-planning message, with Jamaican scientist Donovan Campbell highlighting the need for action now. Governance spotlight: Civil society is calling for action over Integrity Commission findings recommending charges against Science Minister Andrew Wheatley. Migration update: Police custody in Portland rose to 28 Haitians after multiple pickups tied to suspected boat arrivals.
