Practical AI work in Dominica
Created by Adrian Dunkley, MaestrosAI, for the LAC AI Playbook.
These are proposed workflows for local businesses and public-service teams, not evidence of adoption, a national ranking or a forecast of economic returns. Choose one task with a checkable output and a responsible reviewer.
Before starting
Use synthetic or approved non-sensitive information. Do not upload identity documents, medical records, financial histories, customer or employee files, or children’s information to a general chatbot. Check the tool’s current eligibility, fees, retention and access controls before use.
AI drafts must not decide credit, immigration, employment or healthcare outcomes. Qualified professionals and responsible authorities retain control of legal, clinical, engineering, navigation and emergency decisions. Drafting does not authorise sending, filing, purchasing or publishing.
1. Locally checked visitor itineraries
A tour office can draft options from its current supplier information. Hiking, diving and marine activities require qualified operator approval; AI must not generate an operational safety briefing or decide fitness to participate.
Starter prompt
Using these verified operator details, draft two itinerary options for [duration] from [base]. Keep unconfirmed access, prices and travel times visible. Do not select routes, assess physical suitability or invent guides. Ask the operator to approve the final plan.
Check before use: Compare every consequential statement with the supplied source. Record corrections and require the responsible person to approve the result.
2. Community-controlled cultural interpretation
Use material supplied or approved by the people whose history and culture are described. For Kalinago-related content, seek the relevant community’s direction and permissions rather than asking a model to invent stories, language or traditions.
Starter prompt
Edit this community-approved visitor text for clarity while preserving meaning and attribution. Flag unfamiliar terms for the community reviewer. Do not add cultural claims, translate restricted knowledge or imply community endorsement.
Check before use: Compare every consequential statement with the supplied source. Record corrections and require the responsible person to approve the result.
3. Energy project summaries
Use the current approved technical report and consultation record. Do not copy an old project capacity, partner list or construction stage into a new briefing. Engineers and project owners must verify technical statements.
Starter prompt
Create a one-page summary of these dated project documents. Separate measured results, forecasts and proposals. Include source references for capacity, cost and schedule. Flag conflicting versions and do not promise lower tariffs or export revenue.
Check before use: Compare every consequential statement with the supplied source. Record corrections and require the responsible person to approve the result.
4. Citizenship process checklist
Use a blank administrative checklist for a qualified agent, not automated applicant screening. Keep passports, medical records, financial histories and dependants’ information out of general chatbots.
Starter prompt
Organise the supplied current CBIU guidance into a blank checklist with source dates. Do not assess an applicant, suggest an investment, guarantee travel rights or fill gaps with inferred source-of-funds information.
Check before use: Compare every consequential statement with the supplied source. Record corrections and require the responsible person to approve the result.
Evaluate a small pilot
Record the existing task time, errors and costs. Test on a limited set of representative examples and count review/correction time as part of the work. Include cases where information is missing or contradictory. Stop if the system exposes private data, invents evidence or makes an unauthorised commitment.
Report the task, sample, dates, tool version, reviewer and observed results. Do not turn a drafting-time improvement into a national GDP, revenue, yield or health-impact claim. Set a budget from actual quotes rather than an unsupported regional estimate.
Sources and local checks
The Dominica CBIU FAQ and 2024 regulatory update contradict the old US$100,000 figure previously used here. Consult the current official fees and eligibility rules rather than treating this playbook as a quotation or immigration advisory.
For other tasks, maintain a small source register with the issuing body, exact document, publication/effective date, date checked and unresolved questions. Verify local institutions and programme availability before including them. Ask competent local speakers to review translations. Keep an offline process for essential work if the selected tool or connection fails.
