The Caribbean Leapfrog.
Why the regions without legacy AI infrastructure are positioned to win the next decade.
Western markets adopted early AI between 2017–2022 and are now spending six months unwinding chatbot platforms they spent eighteen months installing. The Caribbean — and other emerging markets — get to start with current best practices, without the technical or cultural debt slowing global teams. This keynote names the leapfrog opportunity and shows what it looks like in practice.
Best for: industry summits · economic forums · Caribbean Chambers of Commerce · diaspora audiences
