[00:01:01] Coming up on Caribbean passport TV, feeling the Antiga
[00:01:05] carnival rhythm, the man, the
[00:01:07] of icon, so Garfield Sovers,
[00:01:09] a visionary project, the right start for these kids, Caribbean
[00:01:13] tourism on the agenda in Guyana, this region's
[00:01:17] best, battling on two fronts, and your future
[00:01:20] legal rep, it's all next on Caribbean passport
[00:01:24] TV.
[00:05:00] a It all ended with the Hellsgate Steel Orchestra successfully
[00:05:03] defending its title ahead of West Indies Oil
[00:05:07] a Geminites.
[00:05:09] in
[00:05:13] but of course want
[00:11:31] Gary's passing on July 17th 2026, was felt strongly in
[00:11:35] Barbados, where prime minister Mia m Motley declared two national days of
[00:11:39] morning, and several tributes were paid across the Caribbean region, including in
[00:11:43] Trinidad and Tobago, where the first test between the West Indies and Pakistan
[00:11:46] at Turuba was transformed into a truly special
[00:11:50] occasion. This is significant here at the Beryan Lara Cricket
[00:11:53] Academy and it's first test match being played here and we know the
[00:11:57] connection that Sir Gary also had with Brian Lara. We want to
[00:12:01] celebrate Sir Gary and to use this opportunity to
[00:12:05] say to Trinidad, to the Caribbean
[00:12:08] that yes, this is really
[00:13:52] across the Caribbean, having every advantage at disposal
[00:13:56] counts, thanks to the rapid fire kids foundation eyes right project in
[00:13:59] trinidad and tobago, around 1500 pairs of glasses in
[00:14:03] total have been given to local children free of charge since
[00:14:07] 2014. St. Joseph's convent in San Fernando was the
[00:14:11] place where another group of lucky students received the latest donation of
[00:14:15] eyeglasses during very happy ceremony. We used to get
[00:14:19] lot of requests from parents for eyeglasses for their
[00:14:22] kids. This suggested to us that there was a
[00:14:26] need for this type of assistance and that is how
[00:14:30] the eyr project was born our service provider cv
[00:14:33] optical goes into the schools and screens all the children from standard
[00:14:37] one up and of course the business community supports this initiative
[00:14:41] 100% is important for the kids especially they are the future the nation we
[00:14:45] want to encourage the parents out there please if your child needs
[00:14:48] additional support whether is iway whatever it is
[00:14:52] seek out help. "the
[00:14:55] presentation ceremony involved entertainment and even advice to the
[00:14:59] recipients on how to handle their new glasses. children are
[00:15:03] supposed to be actually long sighted when they're younger, we finding more and more kids,
[00:15:07] they are developing short sightness because of our screen time, and that
[00:15:10] increased near work is what encourages short sightness and
[00:15:14] astigmatism to steping, and very rapidly a point in time when
[00:15:18] their eyes are supposed to be developing normally. the rapid
[00:15:22] fire kids foundation continues its mission to..." make difference for
[00:15:26] Trinidad and Tobago's youngsters, aided by the support provided
[00:15:30] by the Republic Bank and its power to make difference program.
[00:15:34] They have been a worthy, relentless.
[00:15:37] sponsor, we are very thankful to be um
[00:15:41] standing side by side with a prominent organization like Republic Bank
[00:15:44] Limited and really we could not ask for
[00:15:48] better partner. Each distribution represented a proud moment
[00:15:52] for students and parents alike as a bright future
[00:15:56] Becons. I am so happy
[00:15:59] that the initiative is out there and for the
[00:16:02] children of China and Tobago. I felt great and
[00:16:06] I felt... appreciated that i got these glasses
[00:16:10] cuz when i didn't have them i used to be squinting
[00:16:14] so i really am grateful for it for is such a
[00:16:17] blessing to be considered and to be able to receive this
[00:16:21] nice gift. i would advise other children that if they're getting a little
[00:16:25] trouble with their eyes and they cannot see as properly as they should,
[00:16:29] they should inform a parent and adults or our teacher and help them get their
[00:16:33] eyes checked. the kids here are the central characters of this best.
[00:16:38] and with new tools at their disposal, there are several worlds to be
[00:16:41] conquered that lie
[00:16:42] ahead.

[00:23:28] assist with your vital
[00:23:41] intelligence is transforming every aspect of how we conduct
[00:23:44] business, how we manufacture our goods.
[00:23:47] It is assisting by increasing the speed at which. has been
[00:23:50] conducted, we constantly see exciting news in the field of
[00:23:54] medicine and all sciences, even the legal profession is now making
[00:23:58] use of this new technology, but what are the benefits and
[00:24:02] the concerns? artificial intelligence, especially in the legal
[00:24:06] profession now is ever developing, now
[00:24:08] it is moving with a quicker pace and we could have ever anticipated, and the
[00:24:12] reality is that
[00:24:13] it is here to stay, now we must have decisions that we
[00:24:17] must make in terms of how best can we incorporate this not just into
[00:24:21] the legal practices across the countries, across the caribbean, but in
[00:24:25] our courts generally. with rapid increase in using this
[00:24:28] technology, can AI replace the need for a
[00:24:31] lawyer? i certainly would hope not. for
[00:24:35] starters, i would say that AI is indeed extremely impressive.
[00:24:39] AI can do research for you, it can even prepare
[00:24:43] first draft, but the law is so much wider than
[00:24:47] just information alone. law and involves things like
[00:24:51] strategy, judgment, advocacy. so much of
[00:24:55] that actually takes place in the courtroom, and AI is not present in
[00:24:59] the courtroom, it cannot assess a court, it certainly can't
[00:25:03] cross-examine any witnesses, not now, at least, so
[00:25:07] the way
[00:25:07] I would phrase it is, it's not really about replacing your lawyer, it
[00:25:11] can supplement your atterny at law instead. the beauty of retaining your
[00:25:15] attorney at law and why AI could never entirely replace
[00:25:18] attorneys, is the extent the appreciation of not just what happens in the
[00:25:22] courtroom, but the interpretation, the experience that your attorney
[00:25:26] brings. AI technology is unlikely going to be able to assess a
[00:25:30] judg's demean, how a judge feels about case, the way that a
[00:25:34] witness reacts to certain questions, etc., so interpretation is
[00:25:38] also key. many are seeing the benefits of investing in AI and
[00:25:42] are now embracing the impact a day-to-day case load. for
[00:25:46] the first time we are seeing that across the entire career.
[00:25:50] different jurisdictions are implementing what you call practice
[00:25:54] directions and rules which govern the way that AI
[00:25:58] can be implemented not only in the courtroom per say but a
[00:26:01] legal pr. the hall mark of that however has
[00:26:05] always remained that while a lawyer can delegate a
[00:26:09] task to AI it can never delegate the
[00:26:12] responsibility, the buck stops with the attorney at law.
[00:26:15] AI is not infallible. AI can make
[00:26:19] mistakes and when AI is wrong, as we sometimes say,
[00:26:22] it is wrong and strong, it is wrong with the utmost
[00:26:25] confidence. so this is something that we must always treat with
[00:26:29] caution. indeed, while there is a rush embrace. the
[00:26:32] technology, there will always be role for the human element to
[00:26:36] discern what is real or fake, the need to maintain
[00:26:39] compassion, and the skill to think and evaluate every
[00:26:43] situation differently. I can say that the Caribbean as a whole is now
[00:26:47] almost up to speed with lot of different countries across the globe that we
[00:26:51] formly leading the AI race. now we have the same
[00:26:54] access to the softwares that many of our other global
[00:26:58] leaders have been using for the past couple of years across.
[00:27:02] the legal community and across the Caribbean, I can safely say
[00:27:06] that
[00:27:06] it is now being slowly accepted as part the legal
[00:27:10] profession. Attorneys are now seeing AI as a useful
[00:27:14] tool rather than the
[00:27:15] enemy. There is
[00:27:19] saying that AI is not going to replace lawyers, but lawyers
[00:27:23] who utilize AI properly may well replace lawyers that
[00:27:27] don't. So we never want to treat artificial intelligence as
[00:27:31] the enemy when we look at. it through the lens the law, instead we have to
[00:27:35] keep in mind it is a useful tool, the reality is it's not going
[00:27:39] anywhere, so we need to find out how best we can have it
[00:27:42] maximize the benefit for the people across the Caribbean,
[00:27:46] while at the same time managing the extent of its risk.
[00:27:50] used properly, AI offers the opportunity to work smarter
[00:27:54] and faster, assisting the lawyer to become more efficient
[00:27:58] in serving the needs their clients. certainly citizens can use
[00:28:02] artificial intelligence, including with respect to all
[00:28:06] aspects the law, but my advice would be that that is
[00:28:09] predicated upon just basic understanding, a foundation the
[00:28:13] law, because clear distinction must be made between
[00:28:17] information versus advice, AI might give you information, but your
[00:28:21] lawyers still they want to vet and provide the appropriate advice to you, and if
[00:28:25] that distinction is understood, it will help both citizen and lawyer
[00:28:29] alike. there is lot of talk
[00:28:32] across the Caribbean as a whether artificial intelligence and the law
[00:28:36] should be something that we fair. My view is different. I do not think it
[00:28:40] should be faired. It should be respected. It is a tool that is
[00:28:44] here to stay and we have to find out the most efficient yet
[00:28:47] responsible way to use it. For example, motor vehicle can be
[00:28:51] dangerous as well, but that is why we learn to drive and we learn to
[00:28:55] keep our hands on the
[00:28:56] wheel.
