At the 2026 graduation ceremony held Saturday at The University of the West Indies’ Cave Hill campus, university chancellor Dr. Dodridge Miller delivered a keynote address that centered on the urgent need for new graduates to adapt to a rapidly shifting global workforce reshaped by breakthrough technologies. In his speech under the theme “Built to Adapt, Ready to Lead – The Spirit of a Generation Rising amid Unprecedented Times”, Miller outlined how emerging innovations including artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology are rewriting industry standards at a pace never seen before, with automation steadily taking over roles and tasks that were once exclusively executed by human workers.
