The opportunities for Mauritius and the United States of America (US) to explore collaboration in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), were at the forefront of discussions, during a courtesy call the US Ambassador to Mauritius, Mr Henry Victor Jardine, had on the Minister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul, this afternoon, in Eb\u00e8ne.<\/p>

\u2018We believe we have a lot to draw from the digitalisation experience that the US has gone through, particularly being a huge market with different types of complexities\u2019<\/i>, he said.<\/p>

He affirmed that Mauritius being a less complex society and smaller geography-wise, can easily draw from their learning.<\/p>

As for the US Ambassador Jardine, he stated that he had the opportunity to discuss the priorities of the Minister, and thereof see how the US can provide any assistance.<\/p>

Referring to the US ongoing collaboration with the Ministry, the Ambassador pointed out that the Data Protection Office is being supported in developing guidelines and a guidebook on AI.<\/p>

\u2018We are looking at a comprehensive approach for cooperating and supporting the work of the Ministry and the vision that the Minister is hoping to accomplish\u2019<\/i>, he said.<\/p>

Other topics Ambassador Jardine evoked during the meeting, include: training opportunities on cybersecurity for officers of the Ministry as well as promoting commercial cooperation with Mauritius.<\/p>
