An MIT-calibre executive workshop that turns your designated staff into confident, capable AI Officers — fluent in strategy, the EU AI Act, risk and value, and able to stand up the frameworks that let AI run safely across the business. They leave having built a real AI work-app on one of your live business problems.
Boards are approving AI budgets. Regulators are writing AI law. Staff are already pasting company data into chatbots. In most Caribbean organisations, nobody is formally responsible for any of it.
The AI Officer is the role that closes that gap — the person who translates strategy into safe, valuable AI, keeps the organisation on the right side of the EU AI Act and emerging local regulation, and helps every team generate real value with the technology.
This programme is the fastest credible way to appoint one. A single, intensive half-day — evidence-based, cutting-edge, and built around your own business — that leaves your designated people equipped, certified, and ready to lead on day one.
Twelve capabilities, delivered with the rigour of an executive-leadership course and the practicality of a working session. Every module lands in something your officer can do the next morning.
What AI actually is and is not, how modern models work, and the plain-language vocabulary an officer needs to lead the room and cut through vendor hype.
How to take AI from a few curious users to a capable workforce — adoption patterns, the Way of Work with AI, and the change that makes it stick.
Setting AI ambition and risk appetite, mapping where AI creates and destroys value, and putting AI on the strategy agenda instead of the wish list.
The risk tiers that now define global AI law, how they apply to your use cases, and what the Act signals for Caribbean and local data-protection regimes.
The habits of high-performing AI teams — prompt discipline, human-in-the-loop, evaluation, and the quality bar that separates a demo from production.
Hallucination, bias, data leakage, shadow AI and model failure — how to spot them, size them, and put controls around them before they bite.
Translating AI capability into revenue, cost and risk outcomes the C-suite recognises, and making the business case that gets funded.
Full access to our AI Business Canvas — the one-page tool for turning a rough idea into a scoped, value-tested AI opportunity, run live in the room.
The repeatable method for finding, prioritising and capturing AI value across operations, service, sales and back office — evidence-based, not hype-driven.
Hands-on with today's leading models — where each one wins, how to choose between them, and how to route work to the right model at the right cost.
From problem to prototype: scoping, data, build options, and the delivery discipline that gets an AI project shipped rather than stalled.
The starter governance, usage and review frameworks every organisation needs — drafted in the session so your officer walks out already implementing.
Your officer will not be loyal to one vendor. They will know the strengths, limits and economics of the whole frontier — and how to pick the right tool for each job.
Frameworks in the first half of each block, applied to your live business in the second. Timings are indicative and tailored to each cohort.
AI literacy levelled across the room, the frontier explained, and a clear picture of what the AI Officer role owns inside your organisation.
Where AI creates value in your business, run through the AI Business Canvas on one of your real opportunities, linked back to numbers the board recognises.
Classify your use cases by risk tier, walk the best-practice controls, and draft the first governance and usage frameworks your officer will own.
Guided, hands-on. Each officer designs and builds a working AI app against a real company problem, choosing the right frontier model for the task.
Officers present their builds, leave with a 30-day framework rollout plan, and receive their AI Officer certificate from the Caribbean AI Association.
The heart of the programme is a live, guided build. Before the session, we agree a real business problem from your organisation. In the room, your officer designs and ships a working AI work-app against it — evidence-based, on the cutting edge, and genuinely useful the day after.
This is what separates an AI Officer who knows about AI from one who can deliver it. It is also the moment the value of the programme becomes undeniable to everyone watching — a real solution to a real problem, built in an afternoon.
A named, verifiable AI Officer certificate endorsed by the Caribbean AI Association — recognition of a real, assessed capability.
Full access to the AI Business Canvas and worked examples, so opportunities can be scoped and value-tested long after the session.
Draft governance, usage and review frameworks — begun in the room, ready to finish and roll out across the organisation.
The real, functioning app built during the capstone, solving one of your genuine business problems from day one.
A practical guide to choosing and using the leading models — which to reach for, when, and at what cost.
The evidence-based operating rhythm for a team working alongside AI — the cutting-edge practice, made repeatable.
This is not an attendance sticker. On completing the workshop and the live build, each officer earns a named AI Officer Certificate endorsed by the Caribbean AI Association — a mark that carries weight with boards, regulators and clients across the region.
A rare training that clears both bars at once — a defensible capability investment for the organisation, and a genuine career accelerant for the individual.
Adrian Dunkley is an award-winning AI scientist and builder, and the founder of StarApple AI — the Caribbean's first AI company. He has trained thousands of professionals and led AI strategy, governance and delivery for organisations across the region.
He teaches this programme in person, in the room, guiding every officer through the strategy, the regulation, the risk and the live build — the same way the best executive-leadership faculty teach: rigorous, practical, and grounded in real work.
Delivered on-site or at a venue as a single, focused half-day cohort. No screens-in-boxes — real presence, real guidance, real building.
Twenty officers per session, maximum. Small enough that every hand gets guided through the build and every question gets answered.
One decisive session. Public cohorts and private in-house sessions for a single organisation are both available. Ask about dates.
Seats are capped at 20 per session and public cohorts fill quickly. Tell us who you'd like to certify and we'll confirm the next available session, pricing, and — if you'd prefer — a private in-house cohort built around your own business problems.
Thank you — we've received your details. A member of the StarApple AI team will reach out within one business day to confirm your session, seats and next steps.
The person (or people) you want to own AI inside the organisation: an operations, HR, IT, risk, strategy or innovation lead, a department head, or a rising manager you're grooming for the role. No technical background is required — the programme is built for capable professionals, not engineers.
Yes. It's an intensive, four-hour in-person session designed to certify a working AI Officer in a single sitting. The depth comes from the format — frameworks applied immediately to your live business, and a real build — rather than from dragging it across weeks.
On completing the workshop and the live build, each participant earns a named AI Officer Certificate endorsed by the Caribbean AI Association — a recognised regional credential that signals a real, assessed capability, not just attendance.
They do. Ahead of the session we agree a genuine business problem from your organisation. In the room, each officer designs and ships a working AI work-app against it, guided hands-on. It's evidence-based, on the cutting edge, and useful the very next day.
Yes. Alongside public cohorts, we run private in-house sessions for a single organisation — built entirely around your own business problems, up to the 20-seat cap. Mention it in the form and we'll scope it with you.
Sessions are capped at 20 seats so every participant gets guided through the build. If you want to certify more people, we'll schedule additional cohorts.
