Two artificial intelligence (AI) experts are set to share insights on the advantages of implementing AI in Bahamian businesses for enhanced day-to-day operations. This initiative, organized by Plato Alpha Design at Crypto Isle, aims to demonstrate how AI can drive efficiency in micro-level tasks. Shaun VanWeelden, representing OpenAI, and Onassis Nottage from RSLT Lab, will be the keynote speakers at the event titled “How AI Can Help Bahamian Businesses,” scheduled for Wednesday, January 24.
A catalyst for business transformation
AI expert Shaun VanWeelden, who works with OpenAI, believes that AI has the potential to revolutionize the way Bahamian businesses operate. He emphasizes that AI will reduce barriers to executing business ideas, making them less capital-intensive. VanWeelden states, “AI will allow for greater productivity in our work, and like past technological updates, that will change the nature of work and require us to develop new skills.” He further adds that AI can pave the way for talented individuals in The Bahamas to start or expand their businesses beyond what was previously possible without AI assistance.
Moreover, VanWeelden anticipates that AI will play a crucial role in enhancing education, legal services, and medical insights, resulting in a more skilled and healthy workforce. As the leader of OpenAI’s human data team, VanWeelden has a unique perspective on the potential of AI resources like ChatGPT to empower businesses.
AI for Bahamian businesses in a game changer
Onassis Nottage, the managing director for RSLT Lab in the Netherlands, is another speaker set to share his expertise on AI’s role in businesses. Nottage highlights that any industry reliant on data can implement AI solutions to improve its operations. He provides various examples to illustrate the versatility of AI across sectors:
Retail and e-commerce businesses can leverage AI for personalized shopping experiences and demand forecasting. Agriculture can benefit from AI by monitoring crop health and automating tasks such as harvesting.
Nottage emphasizes that AI’s impact extends far beyond enhancing efficiency and reducing costs; it also drives innovation, leading to the creation of new services and products that were previously inconceivable. He predicts that the influence of AI will only continue to grow, reshaping how businesses grow, operate, and deliver value to their customers.
Encouraging AI adoption in Bahamian businesses
Shaun VanWeelden acknowledges that some business owners may hesitate to incorporate AI into their operations due to concerns or uncertainties. However, he stresses that the benefits of AI outweigh the potential threats. He advises Bahamian businesses to start by seeking out “micro moments” where AI can be effectively utilized, rather than viewing it as a massive undertaking. VanWeelden suggests that business leaders should lead by example and share their experiences with AI adoption to encourage experimentation and AI literacy among their workforce.
