A Bermudian with a Dubai company specialising in robotics and artificial intelligence will host a free lunchtime presentation on Friday, focusing on the gaps she sees in Bermuda’s AI infrastructure.

Kameron Young, the founder and chief executive officer of Tombolo Research FZ LLC will be making the case that “Bermuda’s lack of AI infrastructure has left us in 2022.”

ChatGPT was released by OpenAI on November 30, 2022.

She intends to highlight the present challenges, emerging opportunities, and her company’s role in advancing AI adoption in Bermuda through consulting services and upcoming training programmes.

Tombolo Research was originally founded for women who are tech enthusiasts but desire their tech to represent them — in design, function and culture.

The AI and robotics start-up offers consulting services, educational webinars for the public and private sectors as well as robot solutions for everyday living and business.

While headquartered in Dubai, plans are under way to expand Tombolo Research’s footprint into Bermuda.

The company is offering AI courses and training. The three courses starting this month include “AI in Action”, “Applied AI Lab” and “AI Creators Lab: Youth Edition”.

Ms Young said that while AI usage requires safeguards, we live in an age in which it cannot be ignored. She intends to bring home some of the tech advances she has experienced.

The tech expert said Bermuda’s AI infrastructure is lacking, and much more can be done to integrate technology into island life.

“Dubai is a very high-tech city,” she said. “There’s a lot of different AI systems already being used, even robots in different cafés. Things are being accelerated there in terms of their AI infrastructure and how they are starting to integrate the technology.”

In an interview with The Royal Gazette, she said: “I just feel like there has been a bit of a stalemate here for awhile in terms of innovation. And AI technology is rapidly advancing. I’m just a little bit concerned really, that Bermuda hasn’t accelerated to that level, yet, and that we are mostly still in the awareness phase.”
