Science Communication with A.I
Invasion of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea by a Large Benthic Foraminifer in the Little Ice Age
Section 9 Technical Report Update: The Way of Work with AI Study (Oct 2025)
The Way of Work with AI Study is a three-year longitudinal and meta-analytical research programme conducted by Section 9, a non-profit research laboratory dedicated to advancing evidence-based understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and performance measurement. This initiative examines how AI interventions influence operational processes, workforce effectiveness, and business outcomes across a diverse set of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Beyond traditional productivity analyses, the study evaluates the methodological soundness of current AI return-on-investment (ROI) metrics, positioning itself as one of the most comprehensive empirical investigations of AI in the Caribbean context.
The Sentinel Network
From natural disasters to public emergencies, AI can serve as a national guardian. This study explores how large-scale AI systems can forecast threats, coordinate response, and enhance resilience across entire countries.
The Proxy Citizen
Agentic AI systems may eventually be able to “vote” on behalf of individuals, from local regulations to national debates. This research examines whether AI voters can strengthen democracy, amplify civic voices, or create new risks in representation.
Love in the Age of Algorithms
How are people turning to AI to find love, build relationships, and navigate modern dating? This study explores the rise of AI companions, matchmaking agents, and the ethical dilemmas of letting algorithms shape human intimacy in 2025.
Using Generative AI to Strengthen Democracy: A Jamaican Experiment
As Jamaica prepares for its upcoming General Election, Section 9 Social Good AI Lab has been experimenting with a bold idea: how can generative AI be used to strengthen democracy by making political information more accessible, inclusive, and understandable for everyone?
AI Agents Forecast Jamaica’s 2025 General Election
History just happened, for the first time in the world, AI agents were used in an election forecast. Using years of data from social media, websites and past elections, a council of cutting-edge A.I agents researched, analyzed, debated, argued, and cast their votes on who would win Jamaica’s 2025 General Election. With a forecasted win for JLP capturing 34 seats to PNP’s 29, producing a razor-thin result. The real value of this project are the actionable data-informed steps for both parties to serve citizens better.
