Caribbean St. Tosia becomes a situation comedy

A weary U.S. mid-career TV producer arrives in St. Tosia expecting a small, simple assignment about island artisans. After fifteen years in Los Angeles’ formulaic situation comedy development hell, rewrites, canceled pilots, he’s numb to creativity. But St. Tosia hits him like a tropical storm. He discovers a vibrant island culture, unexpected comedic talent and natural humor. Inspired by the locals’ daily lives and wit, he ends up creating a story which transforms into international hit sitcom...

A human‑centered AI revolution is definitely coming

So says Cdr. Bud Slabbaert and he may just be the architect of it. AI is, at its core, a behavioral technology according to Slabbaert. Indeed, the smart ones who have already learnt to use AI, are finding out that they can actually guide AI to use it to their needs or demands.  “If we ignore behavioral science, we are not building intelligence.

AI's next advance: behavioral, not technical

AI is advancing faster than our understanding of human behavior. AI is powerful but the human mind is sovereign. Humanity leads, technology evolves. AI is not the future. People are the future and AI is a tool that helps to get there. If AI guides decisions, who guides AI?

Rarely the one thing AI touches most deeply: human be...

AI as a tool can elevate the human to become a hero

The synthesizer turned a single musician into an orchestra. AI turns a single thinker into a team. The synthesizer did not replace the orchestra. It gave a single musician the power of many by using the synthesizer. Now the workplace has AI. AI does the same for work: it puts the capability of a full team into the hands of one decisive mind. AI can collapse an entire team into the mind of one strategist. A synthesizer doesn’t replace the artistry of an orchestra. It compresses the capabilit...

Human‑centered intelligence: a new blueprint for Caribbean development

Technology is accelerating, traveler expectations are shifting. The Caribbean is at a crossroads. By combining AI with Behavioral Psychology, one gains something powerful: the ability to design systems around how people actually behave, not how it is assumed they behave. In governance, that means services that build trust. In tourism, it means experiences shaped by emotion and culture. In air transportation, it means understanding the Caribbean traveler and strengthening route viability. Togethe...

How Air Antilles was rebuilt on hope and failed assumptions

Air Antilles, re‑founded on 10 October 2023, launched operations in late June 2024, ceased flying on 8 December 2025, and is now expected to enter bankruptcy proceedings in early 2026. The airline survived 17 months of operations and 27 months as a corporate entity.The airline’s failure was structural, not accidental. It was built on misaligned assumptions, insufficient capitalization, political over‑optimism, and a business model incompatible with the realities of Eastern Caribbean aviation.No...
