Summary
ai-advisory-council-for-sustainable-economic-growth-and-ethical-innovation-in-the-dominican-republic-(cania)
We propose establishing a National AI Advisory Council (CANIA) to strategically drive AI development in the Dominican Republic, accelerating technological growth and building a sustainable economic framework. Our submission includes an Impact Assessment and a detailed Implementation Roadmap to guide CANIA’s phased rollout.
Structured across three layers—strategic, tactical, and operational—CANIA will ensure responsiveness to industry, alignment with national priorities, and strong ethical oversight. Through a multi-stakeholder model, CANIA will foster public-private collaboration, with the private sector leading AI adoption to address gaps in public R&D and education.
Prioritizing practical, ethical AI policies, CANIA will focus on key sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and security, and support the creation of a Latin American Large Language Model, positioning the Dominican Republic as a regional AI leader. This council is a strategic investment in ethical AI, setting a precedent for Latin American AI governance. Two appendices provide further structural and stakeholder engagement insights.
