UNESCO Caribbean AI Policy Roadmap 1.pdf

AI technologies are being deployed in the Caribbean region to combat discrimination and enhance human creativity. However, concerns about privacy and infringement of citizen data privacy remain. AI systems raise ethical issues in various sectors, including employment, healthcare, education, media, and democracy. The potential for AI algorithms to reproduce biases, such as gender, ethnicity, and age, exacerbates discrimination. To address these challenges, stakeholders must collaborate to develop humanistic guidelines, regulations, and laws, including boundaries for AI decision-making, rights, and accountability protocols.
