Chairman of the National AI Task Force, Christopher Reckord, has warned that Jamaica risks falling behind in the artificial-intelligence revolution, urging young people to become creators, innovators and problem-solvers rather than mere consumers of technology.

Speaking to students ahead of the launch of the University of Technology’s (UTech) STEM Summer Camp, Reckord challenged young Jamaicans to embrace emerging technologies, build practical skills and help shape the country’s future.

“The future is not something to wait for. The future is something you prepare for, it's something you imagine, and very, very important, it's something that you are going to be building,” he said.
