Cayman Islands civil service develops its first AI policy

Cayman Islands Civil Service — The Cayman Islands Civil Service has completed a first Artificial Intelligence Policy (Version 1.0), Premier André Ebanks told Parliament, the Office of the Deputy Governor yet to sign off the Cayman Islands AI policy Government-wide. Risk management, governance, transparency, accountability and oversight duties span the service; procurement, piloting or deployment of any AI system awaits joint review of legal compliance, cybersecurity, data protection, architectural alignment and risk assessment. These AI governance rules carry enforcement and bar unapproved deployment, sensitive-data misuse, unlawful or harmful use and high-risk applications; Ebanks targets Q2 2027 for draft AI legislation.

Cayman Islands targets 2027 for draft AI legislation

Cayman Islands Government — Cayman Islands AI legislation should reach draft stage by Q2 2027, Premier André Ebanks told Parliament, previewing an AI legislative framework for public-sector AI use. A taskforce set up October 2025 within the Premier's office and the Ministry of Social Development and Innovation owes policy recommendations by end-May 2026 to shape the drafting. Ebanks also flagged a near-finished Civil Service AI Policy (v1.0), locking in mandatory governance, risk and oversight duties for government AI tools.

Cayman's environment department identifies Nassau grouper by AI facial recognition

Cayman Islands Department of Environment — The Cayman Islands Department of Environment now runs AI fish identification on the Nassau grouper aggregation off Little Cayman, shooting as many photographs as possible across three or four days for software that reads every marking. Croy McCoy, research manager at the Research and Assessment Unit, said postgraduates once tallied each grouper by eye on footage, hours of labour that facial recognition software absorbs while matching this year's arrivals against earlier ones. That evidence feeds the Grouper Moon Project, run with the Reef Environmental Education Foundation on an endangered species since 2001; a multi-agency crew returned in February 2026.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
