Emerging markets closing the global digital divide with gen-AI is undoubtedly a positive development and a testament to the technology’s democratizing potential. However, I believe its a mistake to interpret higher adoption rates as a sign of leadership. The U.S. remains the epicenter of AI innovation, shaping the tools, ethics, and policies that will define the global digital economy for decades to come. The U.S. may not be adopting gen-AI at the same pace in certain demographics, but its focus on innovation, enterprise integration, and global influence underscores its dominant role in the AI ecosystem. Far from lagging, the U.S. is driving the very technologies that empower emerging markets to accelerate their adoption. #genai #ai #globalinfluence #emergingtechnologies #innovation #startups #emergingmarkets

The reason you may be unhappy in what you do... is lack of mission statement... At Akoto Recruiting, everything we do stems from a clear and intentional mission. As a leader, my personal mission has always been to grow mentally, spiritually, physically, and financially so I can help others achieve their dreams. This drive is reflected in how we operate at Akoto Recruiting—by striving to empower our partners with the tools, strategies, and talent they need to succeed. Our company’s mission is equally bold: we leverage cutting-edge technologies (including AI/ML) and innovative approaches to ensure we’re not just meeting our clients’ goals, but actively supporting them in changing the world. In the attached video, I share my thoughts on the power of having a mission statement during my TEDx talk. I hope it inspires you to reflect on your own "why" and how it drives you to make an impact. What’s your mission? How does it influence the work you do? Let’s discuss in the comments—because when we align with purpose, incredible things happen. #MissionDriven #AkotoRecruiting #Leadership #TedxTalk #RecruitingExcellence #Growth
