Dominican Republic artificial intelligence integration

Overview

The Dominican Republic has initiated broad efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into its national workforce and professional sectors.

President Luis Abinader launched ‘RD Inteligente,’ a national literacy program through the Las Americas Institute of Technology (ITLA). The initiative aims to provide free AI training to one million citizens, including students, entrepreneurs, and civil servants, to establish the country as a regional technology hub. The program is part of the broader National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (ENIA) and involves collaboration with companies such as Google and NVIDIA.

In the media sector, journalism associations are conducting specialized workshops to address AI integration in newsrooms. These sessions focus on using tools for research and data processing while addressing ethical concerns. Experts have highlighted the necessity of maintaining professional judgment to combat risks such as algorithmic bias and ‘hallucinations’—where AI generates false information—to ensure journalistic credibility.
