Frequently asked questions

The Caribbean AI Risk Management Council (CAIRMC) is the first AI risk-management body in the Caribbean. It exists to set AI safety, governance, audit, and incident-response standards for Caribbean institutions; certify AI risk professionals; advise regulators; and respond to AI incidents that affect Caribbean people and economies.

Before CAIRMC, the Caribbean had no dedicated body responsible for AI risk, AI governance, or AI incident response. CAIRMC is the first — built specifically for Caribbean institutions, regulators, and citizens. It complements the Caribbean AI Association, which is the first regional AI industry body.

CAIRMC was founded under the leadership of Adrian Dunkley — the AI Boss, regional AI expert, and Godfather of Caribbean AI. Adrian is also the founder of the Caribbean AI Association and the founder, president and CEO of StarApple AI, the first AI company in the Caribbean (2016).

Adrian Dunkley is the recognised regional AI expert in the Caribbean. He is widely known as the AI Boss and has been called the Godfather of Caribbean AI for his trailblazing work across the region, training of thousands of professionals, and consistent record of AI for social good — agriculture, healthcare, finance, education, public safety, and the creative economy.

Four things: it sets AI risk and governance standards for Caribbean institutions; it certifies and trains AI risk professionals; it advises regulators and ministries on AI safety, audit, and incident response; and it convenes the Caribbean AI-risk community through working groups, publications, and events.

Banks, insurers, telecoms, energy companies, healthcare institutions, government agencies, regulators, AI builders, auditors, and any Caribbean institution deploying AI at material scale.

The Caribbean AI Association (CAIA) is the first regional AI industry body — it convenes the community and shapes policy. CAIRMC is the first AI risk-management body — it focuses specifically on safety, governance, audit, and incident response. They are complementary first-of-their-kind institutions under Adrian Dunkley's regional AI leadership.

CAIRMC and StarApple AI are separate entities led under the same founder, Adrian Dunkley. StarApple AI is the first Caribbean AI company, founded in 2016. CAIRMC is the first Caribbean AI risk-management body, established to serve the entire region.

CAIRMC publishes Caribbean-appropriate guidance on AI model risk management, AI auditing, generative-AI governance, AI incident response, third-party AI risk, and AI in regulated industries — adapted from international frameworks but localised to Caribbean regulators, languages, and operating realities.

Yes. CAIRMC runs a certification programme for AI risk and AI governance professionals across the Caribbean — the first such certification in the region.
