A new study suggests artificial intelligence could make Belize's economy US$48 million larger within ten years. The research also warns that the country has work to do to get its young people ready for that shift. The findings were released through the Ayre Index, a ranking launched at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda. Belize came in 35th on that index. The low placement points to a gap the country needs to close before it can capture the projected gains. Preparing the younger generation appears to be the central task if the predicted boost is to become reality.
