AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAI and Work: A World Bank study finds 38% of Costa Rican jobs are exposed to artificial intelligence—the highest share in Latin America, compared with a regional average of 32%. Exposure can mean automation, support from AI, or an uncertain effect; it does not mean all those jobs are at risk. Native Bees: The Constitutional Chamber will review rules that limit commercial use of Costa Rica’s 58 native stingless bee species to two without further scientific studies. The challenge argues the restrictions hinder trade and livelihoods, while conservation concerns include pressure on the permitted species and risks to genetic diversity. Public Health: Health officials report 66 suspected Salmonella cases linked to Hospital CIMA in Escazú, with two laboratory-confirmed and two patients hospitalized. The source has not been identified, and the investigation is ongoing.
