For the record, the Cabinet has never authorized anyone who is not a member of the Cabinet or has been expressly tasked with that responsibility to make any report or summary of its proceedings. Further, the proceedings of Cabinet are bound by the principles of confidentiality and non-disclosure unless otherwise agreed by its members. Therefore, the Cabinet considers the publication of the article to be a violation of the protocols of procedures and a lack of respect for rules governing engagements at that level. Further, the article makes certain inaccuracies to include the refusal of Prime Minister Browne, the Chairman of Cabinet; when in fact the Prime Minister was excused prior to the commencement of any engagement and was a part of another meeting very briefly. It must be noted as well that the Cabinet made no decision regarding any presentation made, and continues to research the viability of all proposals that have not yet been determined. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">3. <\/span><b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">i) The Cabinet invited Doctor Charles, the Director of Academic Affairs at UWI Five Islands, to address the Cabinet on steps which can be taken to improve Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) learning, by getting more students to study Data Science. <\/span><\/b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">The object is to make the Five Islands Campus the center of attention globally in the teaching of <\/span><b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">A.I<\/span><\/b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">. \u00a0Collecting data and storing it in a particular manner will allow for the use of Artificial intelligence to solve many of the challenges that AI can easily resolve; to do that, <\/span><b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">A.I.<\/span><\/b><span data-originalfontsize=\"14pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.666666\">\u00a0can digitally transform data into prescriptions.
