The Min­istry of Pub­lic Ad­min­is­tra­tion and Ar­ti­fi­cial In­tel­li­gence (MPAAI) is clar­i­fy­ing re­ports sur­round­ing a da­ta cen­tre project.

In re­sponse to a Ju­ly 19 Sun­day Guardian re­port it con­firmed that the Tier 4 project was ini­ti­at­ed un­der the for­mer Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) ad­min­is­tra­tion to pro­vide se­cure Gov­ern­ment da­ta stor­age and dig­i­tal ser­vices.

How­ev­er, it made it clear that Gov­ern­ment was not se­cret­ly ad­vanc­ing in­fra­struc­ture for an ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence (AI) da­ta cen­tre even though the lo­ca­tion of the project still has not been dis­closed.
