We often talk about AI as a Silicon Valley phenomenon, but the economics of AI is a Caribbean story too. It's about more than just chatbots; it is about a general-purpose technology that is fundamentally shifting how we value labour, productivity, and even regional data sovereignty.

International Economist, Dr Justin Ram, joins us once again and shares his thoughts on:

* the factors he uses to determine the impact of AI on an economy;

* the impact of AI on our services sector, and the opportunities emerging thanks to AI;

* the potential for AI to widen the digital and socio-economic divide; and

* whether AI is an existential threat to Caribbean economies.
