Government digitisation and AI-driven surveillance raises cybersecurity concerns for Guyana
Guyana's government digitisation and AI-driven surveillance initiatives heighten cybersecurity risks and exposure to cyber threats.
President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s announcement of Guyana’s move to fully digitise government services by mid-2026, underpinned by AI-driven surveillance and cross-agency ICT integration, significantly expands the digital attack surface. The rollout of integrated platforms and AI-based systems for crime detection, traffic management, and environmental monitoring increases the risk of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, data breaches affecting citizens, and potential exploitation by malicious actors. As the government accelerates its digital transformation, the reliance on these technologies also raises urgent concerns about secure data management, protection of personal information, and resilience against ransomware and other cyber threats.
