Nesty Delgado commanded a Puerto Rico National Guard task force through Hurricane Maria. His line about it stopped me cold. "We were making life-and-death decisions back there, with incomplete data." Today, on the island, they call him Dr. AI.

I didn't fully see it until we were in the conversation. For Puerto Rico, AI is a matter of life and death. Economic and cultural, yes. And if the next storm finds us as blind as the last one, literal too.

What got me most was the order he puts things in. Values and principles at the top, emotional intelligence under that, tools dead last. Software barely makes his list. (I've written ten books trying to explain this stuff without the jargon. Nesty does it on live TV, which feels like cheating.)

We get into shadow AI and the company data walking out the door on personal accounts, the clock that just jumped from 40 percent to 65 percent, why he warns his own competitors, and the Caribbean AI Summit he wants ten thousand people to attend.

The Caribbean AI Summit is October 9 and 10 in San Juan, and Nesty presents. CaribbeanSummit.AI
