AI Use in Education and Parliament Takes Center Stage

Artificial intelligence is becoming a growing topic in both education and governance across the region.

The Caribbean Examinations Council, CXC, is reassuring students and teachers that AI detection tools will not be the sole basis for judging School-Based Assessments.

CXC says teachers’ knowledge of their students, including drafts, discussions, and classroom guidance, will remain central to assessment decisions.

Students may use AI responsibly to brainstorm, understand concepts, or structure ideas, but any use must be properly disclosed. Fully or mostly AI-generated work will still be treated as academic dishonesty.

Meanwhile, the Parliament of Sint Maarten has established a new Digital Transformation and AI Workgroup.

The group will guide Parliament’s use of digital tools, support AI ethics and governance, and help improve systems such as document management.

Officials say the goal is to promote responsible innovation, digital literacy, transparency, and public trust as Sint Maarten adapts to the evolving digital era.
