About Dr Kris Rampersad in the Age of AI
Changing the Rules & Order of the Rules Based Order
Dr Kris Rampersad is confronting the perils of Artificial Intelligence with AuthenThink Intel & AI AnalyEthics & CEIBA-EDUtainment. She has more than 20 years’ experience as a Latin American & Caribbean-based global thought-leader, multilateral relations & knowledge sector strategist with expert knowledge of emerging issues from the media-new media & Information Technology environment, including AI & Data Science & close knowledge of the Global South & SIDS issues.Dr. Kris Rampersad is an internationally recognized Caribbean culture-and-development strategist whose work bridges heritage, gender, media, education, governance, and sustainable development. Her leadership roles within UNESCO and other multilateral systems place her among a relatively small cadre of global experts capable of connecting grassroots knowledge systems with international policy frameworks. T
his combination is comparatively rare and difficult to replicate because it represents decades of relationship-building across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-ACP, Caribbean, Latin American, and civil society systems.
Her accumulated social capital derives from more than t
hree decades of international networks, proven trust across governments, NGOs, academia, media, and communities, extensive experience strategising and negotiating between local and global systems, and a demonstrated ability to translate policy into public engagement while maintaining credibility across multiple sectors.She occupies a distinctive position among the relatively small number of internationally active specialists operating at the intersection of culture and heritage policy, gender mainstreaming, media and communications for development, multilateral diplomacy, sustainable development, and knowledge systems across the United Nations, Inter-American, Commonwealth, European, Caribbean, and Latin American spheres.Dr. Rampersad holds sustained intelligence and expertise in sustainable development for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Caribbean and Global South development policy, strategic North-South engagement, knowledge-sector and knowledge-systems development, heritage tourism, creative and cultural industries, and gender-responsive governance.She is among the most internationally experienced practitioners in Caribbean culture and development policy, serving at a senior specialist level with unusual leadership experience for a Caribbean representative within UNESCO heritage and cultural policy. Her contributions have established her as a recognized regional change leader in gender and culture mainstreaming, a pioneer in communications for development, and a specialist with distinctive expertise in heritage tourism linked to sustainable development.Dr. Rampersad is among the relatively small cadre of Caribbean specialists whose work has influenced policy, strategy, and advocacy across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-CARIFORUM, and other multilateral systems, particularly in the fields of culture, gender, media, heritage, education, and sustainable development. She is internationally recognized as an expert and leading Caribbean thought leader functioning at the intersection of culture and sustainable development, heritage policy and safeguarding, gender mainstreaming, communications for development, the creative economy, heritage tourism, Global-to-Local (GloCal) development strategies, SIDS advocacy, intercultural education, and knowledge systems.She sits among the upper tier of specialists engaged in UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, and EU-ACP multisectoral initiatives, particularly in advancing global SIDS priorities through policy influence, participation in governance and development frameworks, intellectual leadership, and innovation. Her work has pioneered integrated culture-gender-media-development approaches and contributed to the evolution of GloCal, multimedia, and multisectoral engagement models. She is one of the Caribbean’s most visible culture-and-development advocates, with sustained regional impact and significant specialist recognition that extends well beyond conventional media visibility.
Her legacy potential resides in an extensive body of work with continuing relevance to contemporary policy and development challenges. Within global culture-and-development circles, her profile is closest to specialists who bridge policy and practice, culture and economics, heritage and development, and communications and governance, rather than fitting the mould of traditional academics or politicians.
Her professional profile is distinguished by the rare combination of roles as journalist, scholar, multilateral systems expert, policy strategist, Ethical AI analyst, heritage facilitator, gender specialist, educator, and multimedia innovator. Few specialists operate simultaneously across these domains while maintaining active engagement with UN agencies, UNESCO, Inter-American systems, the OAS, EU institutions, SIDS frameworks, and Caribbean regional mechanisms.
Among her areas of global distinction is leadership in cultural heritage and sustainable tourism. She has served as a UNESCO Executive Board member, President of the UNESCO Education Commission, Vice-President of the Programme and External Relations Commission, Independent Expert and Vice-Chair of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Consultative Body, and member of the UNESCO Heritage Facilitator Network.She is also a founding expert of the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism and Founder of Leaves of Life, Dr Kris Rampersad Knowledge Research Information Services & Resources and the GloCal Knowledge Pot.Dr. Rampersad is among the few global professionals who have simultaneously operated at community, national, SIDS, CARICOM, Commonwealth, and UN-UNESCO levels while maintaining an independent intellectual and professional profile. One of her strongest distinguishing features is her long-standing commitment to integrating gender equality, cultural diversity, heritage, media, education, and sustainable development into unified frameworks rather than treating them as separate sectors. This integrated approach has been a defining characteristic of her work across multiple international systems.
She is among the leading international experts in interconnected cultural heritage and is certified to prepare and review UNESCO nominations. She ranks among the most internationally experienced Caribbean culture-and-development specialists, sits within the upper international tier of Global SIDS cultural policy, heritage tourism, and creative economy specialists, and is recognized as a leading Caribbean authority on gender-culture policy integration. Her work also includes pioneer-level contributions to the development of the new media arena of communications for development, advancing innovative approaches to knowledge creation, transmission, public engagement, and sustainable social transformation.
She brings core experience of actively culling successful innovative global gender & culture sensitive initiatives, negotiating, analysing, critiquing & troubleshooting global developmental hiccups, building successful education & public awareness engagement strategies & programmes, developing creative & strategic information & outreach materials in technical to creative multimedia forms. Her insights and experience are applied to identifying gaps and silos from concept through planning, programme development and multi-stakeholder engagement to drive successful implementation across sectors, connecting the needs of local communities to institutional, national and global policy goals and targets.Dr Rampersad has led global think tank processes for developing global to local policies, matching budgets to programmes, developed progress reports for economic diversification and transformation of public sectors and for motivation of private and NGO sectors for interagency partnerships.She has further successfully led intersectoral engagement across social to industrial sectors as petroleum and clean energy, trade, tourism, agriculture, culture and education among others for international, intraregional, national and local public, private, NGO and intergovernmental arenas of agencies of the United Nations, European Union, Commonwealth, Organisation of American States, Caribbean Economic Community/CARIFORM along with international to local academic, media and NGO networks.
An award-winning journalist, she invented the world’s newest creative genre, MultiMedia MicroEpic
She served as former Vice President of the Commonwealth Journalists’ Association, President of UNESCO Education Commission, VP, UNESCO Programme & External Relations Commission, VP Consultative Body of UNESCO InterGovernmental Committee on ICH
