Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has called on Jamaicans to fully embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a key driver of productivity and economic transformation. Speaking at the Amber Group’s 10th Anniversary Gala and AI Robotics Showcase, he outlined the Government’s plan to integrate AI into education, industry, and national development.
