Dominican Republic AI and semiconductor development

Overview

The Instituto Tecnológico de las Américas (ITLA) has moved from advocating for technological integration to implementing specific training initiatives in the Dominican Republic.

Initially, ITLA Rector Jimmy Rosario Bernard emphasized the strategic importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and the semiconductor industry, noting that AI is a “current reality impacting education, employment, and business.” He advocated for integrating AI knowledge across various professional disciplines to meet market demands and strengthen ties with the United States.

Following these discussions, ITLA launched a webinar to introduce the NVIDIA University Ambassador Program. This initiative aims to train professors from ITLA, INTEC, and PUCMM in fields such as deep learning, data science, and accelerated computing. Coordinated by the Centro de Excelencia en Inteligencia Artificial (CEIA-RD), the program supports the National Sovereign Artificial Intelligence Initiative, which includes broader government projects like the development of a National Artificial Intelligence Factory.
