I'll be sharing my insights about how creativity, critical thinking and learning agility a core building blocks to a more innovative HR function, but are often overlooked in favor of flashier solutions. I'll prove the point with a few stories and am excited to build community with a panel of leaders on the cutting edge of innovation. Together we are going to help HR leaders transform the function and their organizations and build a better future.
See you there!

AI is like the Borg from Star Trek. Resistance is Futile. 🤖
But more than that, it is a force and will be used for good and bad like every single tool humans have ever used.
Tapping into the deep and rich cultural knowledge of the African continent’s oral traditions is one way to ensure that these thoughts, traditions, ways of thinking and ways of being are available and accessible. There is so much richness in thousands of ethnic groups and languages that create the diversity of the African continent and I’m personally excited to participate in this movement.
For example, the world’s first human rights charter is the Manden Charter (https://lnkd.in/g4nxTDni) and has been passed down orally since the year 1235, but was only classified as such by UNESCO in 2009 and added to the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. I only learned about it last year. There is so much we don’t know and I’m excited that AI might help us “discover” more of these gems that have been eluding those of us not fortunate enough to speak the right languages.

CDIAL.AI has been named as part of the inaugural cohort for Accelerate Africa#AA1. At the demo day, we showcased how we're harnessing data for transformative change.
Through our research, working with our partners and implementing the CDIAL.AI vision, it's become extremely evident that access to multilingual AI will trigger a quantum leap in Africa and communities across the world .
Across the globe, no other continent stands to benefit more from AI agents in addressing current challenges, than African communities and businesses.
Indigenius, our language model, understands and speaks a diverse range of African languages, empowering individuals and businesses alike to access and share information seamlessly. In addition, through our #CDIALTribe we're proud to offer diverse training datasets that resource foundation models and drive innovation.
Join us in building a future where language is no longer a barrier but a gateway to opportunity.

I’m curious how many folks in my extended network have been to or plan to visit any of the more than 50 countries in Africa. If you were born or live in an African country, please don’t respond.
I didn’t visit any countries in Africa until I was 40 years old. Were it not for Africa Soft Power, I don’t think I would have prioritized it. Now I’m busy trying to find ways to engage more broadly and deeply.
Please share the cities/countries you’ve visited in the comments below. My hope is to provide a more complete narrative for those that may be as reluctant as I once was.
Beautiful!!!
