EP166: Is Social Media only for entertainment in T&T? | Where is the AI going in T&T? | AI and government in the US is crazy

from Trini TechCast · host makeITsimpleTT

The hosts dive into how digital marketing is a massive umbrella that's way bigger than just your Instagram feed, emphasizing that relying solely on social media is like building a house on someone else's volatile land. They argue that while scrolling might feel like the whole internet, a real strategy requires owning your presence through websites and email lists before an algorithm change makes you invisible.Article: https://trinidadexpress.com/business/local/digital-is-far-more-than-social-media/article_ea60eb17-86e6-4b1e-aad1-33db39a8063e.htmlIn today's deep dive, we're looking at Minister Dominic Smith's push to drag Trinidad and Tobago’s public service into the 21st century, though we're still waiting to see if these "Future Ready" plans actually replace the old-school paper trails. It seems the government is banking on AI training and international partnerships to finally make "digital transformation" more than just a buzzword for the 90,000 public servants currently navigating the transition.Article: https://www.guardian.co.tt/business/smith-digitalready-public-service-progressing-6.2.2612863.cee4bfcefeThe Trump administration has stepped in to put the brakes on OpenAI's GPT-5.6 release, essentially telling Sam Altman that the new "Sol" model is a bit too powerful for a surprise drop. It looks like the government is finally checking the receipts on these advanced models before they go public, making sure we don't accidentally hand a cybersecurity master key to just anyone.Article:https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-asks-openai-stagger-204300837.html
