Trinidad and Tobago Ignites National AI Readiness Drive with Global Partners

On Wednesday 26th November, 2025, the Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence (MPAAI), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), successfully launched the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assessment Initiative at the Government Campus Plaza Auditorium in Port of Spain. The Assessment leverages two globally recognised methodologies: - the UNDP AI Landscape Assessment (AILA) and UNESCO’s Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) to evaluate Trinidad and Tobago’s preparedness for AI adoption across six critical dimensions: governance, policy, digital infrastructure, ethics, institutional capacity and inclusion.
