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.

Safe ai

The rapid adoption of AI in critical industries like healthcare and legal services has highlighted the urgent need for robust risk mitigation mechanisms. While domain-specific AI agents offer efficiency, they often lack transparency and accountability, raising concerns about safety, reliability, and compliance. The stakes are high, as AI failures in these sectors can lead to catastrophic outcomes, including loss of life, legal repercussions, and significant financial and reputational damage. Current solutions, such as regulatory frameworks and quality assurance protocols, provide only partial protection against the multifaceted risks associated with AI deployment. This situation underscores the necessity for an innovative approach that combines comprehensive risk assessment with financial safeguards to ensure the responsible and secure implementation of AI technologies across high-stakes industries.

AI Risk Management Assurance Network (AIRMAN)

The AI Risk Management Assurance Network (AIRMAN) addresses a critical gap in AI safety: the disconnect between existing AI assurance technologies and standardized safety documentation practices. While the market shows high demand for both quality/conformity tools and observability/monitoring systems, currently used solutions operate in silos, offsetting risks of intellectual property leaks and antitrust action at the expense of risk management robustness and transparency. This fragmentation not only weakens safety practices but also exposes organizations to significant liability risks when operating without clear documentation standards and evidence of reasonable duty of care.

Our solution creates an open-source standards framework that enables collaboration and knowledge-sharing between frontier AI safety teams while protecting intellectual property and addressing antitrust concerns. By operating as an OASIS Open Project, we can provide legal protection for industry cooperation on developing integrated standards for risk management and monitoring.

The AIRMAN is unique in three ways: First, it creates a neutral, dedicated platform where competitors can collaborate on safety standards. Second, it provides technical integration layers that enable interoperability between different types of assurance tools. Third, it offers practical implementation support through templates, training programs, and mentorship systems.

The commercial viability of our solution is evidenced by strong willingness-to-pay across all major stakeholder groups for quality and conformity tools. By reducing duplication of effort in standards development and enabling economies of scale in implementation, we create clear value for participants while advancing the critical goal of AI safety.

Securing AGI Deployment and Mitigating Safety Risks

As artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems near deployment readiness, they pose unprecedented challenges in ensuring safe, secure, and aligned operations. Without robust safety measures, AGI can pose significant risks, including misalignment with human values, malicious misuse, adversarial attacks, and data breaches.
