‘AI not the problem’

WESTERN BUREAU: The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is preparing students for “a world that no longer exists”, by scrapping traditional School-Based Assessments (SBA) over artificial intelligence, says AI expert Christopher Christie, who argues that the move takes Caribbean education backwards.

Jamaica has facilitated more than US$4.2 billion in hotel investments through JAMPRO, but roughly 10 per cent of the pipeline remains delayed, including a Marriott-branded property in Trelawny.
