Economist Professor Roger Hosein says the Government’s proposed AI data centre could provide a welcome boost to Trinidad and Tobago’s economy, but he warns the project is still in its earliest stages.
Speaking on CNC3’s The Morning Brew on Monday, Hosein said the data centre has the potential to generate foreign exchange and create jobs if it becomes an export-oriented business.
“Once it brings in foreign exchange for construction and for running the facility, if the output from the centre helps to generate foreign exchange, that is useful. And if it generates jobs, that would be useful.”
