The Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) founded in 1970 is a not-for-profit association of public service and commercial broadcasters in the Caribbean. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the CBU created several regionally syndicated programmes including CaribScope, Caribbean Newsline, Caribbean News Review, Caribbean Business Weekly, Talk Caribbean, the Caribbean Song Festival, Riddim Express and the CaribVision television news exchange, among other programmes. Leadership of the association is mainly rotated between representatives of the affiliated media houses. On 9 June 2000 the commercial operations of the CBU and the Caribbean News Agency were merged into the Caribbean Media Corporation, also based in Barbados, which has carried on the business of television production begun by the CBU. The CBU's current mandate includes the facilitation of some broadcast services, representation, and training of the staff of member stations in support of a unified Caribbean community. It holds an Annual General Assembly (AGA) in one of the member nations every August. Member stations are drawn from the 15 member nations of the Caribbean Community, with the exception of Haiti. Other member stations are drawn from Anguilla, Turks & Caicos, the Netherlands Antilles, Cuba and Colombia.

AI is shaping your world. But who gets to shape AI?

Every AI system is built on decisions: what data is used, whose knowledge is represented, who owns it, how the technology is deployed, and who answers when something goes wrong.

The Politics of the Pipeline examines the power and responsibility behind AI, from data sovereignty, creative ownership and legal accountability to human cognition, digital rights and ethical governance.

If you care about who controls AI, whose interests it serves and how people and communities can have a meaningful voice, this is a conversation you should not miss.

AI is changing how we learn, work, access services and connect with one another. But who benefits—and who risks being pushed further behind?

The Map of Exclusion examines the barriers preventing people and communities from participating fully in an AI-driven world—from unequal connectivity and digital skills to education, workforce readiness and systems that do not reflect everyone’s realities.

If you care about inclusion, accessibility, education, digital rights or the future facing young people, this is a conversation you should not miss.
