Minister of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence Dominic Smith says concerns about the environmental impact and feasibility of data centres in T&T are understandable but insists that the country is well-positioned to attract major investment.

His comments come following the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding to explore the development of AI infrastructure and data centre facilities.

In an exclusive interview with TTT News, Minister Smith said while discussions surrounding a proposed AI data centre project have generated questions about environmental impacts and the country’s ability to support such infrastructure, the initiative remains in its preliminary stages.
