President Luis Abinader led a meeting with executives from SpaceX and officials from the Technological Institute of the Americas (Instituto Tecnológico de las Américas, ITLA). The meeting highlighted the presence of 50,000 Starlink antennas in the Dominican Republic and reviewed technology proposals aimed at expanding connectivity and strengthening academic training through new digital tools.

The meeting, held in the Private Room of the National Palace, was attended by Minister of the Presidency José Ignacio Paliza and ITLA Rector Jimmy Rosario. Together with SpaceX representatives, they discussed initiatives related to Internet access, technological innovation and the use of artificial intelligence in education.

After the meeting, ITLA Rector Jimmy Rosario explained that the institution had conducted connectivity pilot projects and was willing to carry out a pilot project using the Grok platform. He said the initiative would allow students to interact with this artificial intelligence, or superintelligence, as an agent that would do more than provide answers: it would help them keep track of their homework and assignments and develop critical thinking skills.
