Top answers from some of our sessions.

For startup, the vision and mission of the founders should be very clear that every employee can identify with them and broken down into measurable behaviours expected from employees with the founders leading by example.I don’t have a blog at the moment. Maybe in the near future 😊

Hello David, I'm glad you did. Social media marketing isn't better for one type of business, it may be easier for B2Cs because you have a physical product or service to sell, however in terms of value being created, I don't think anyone is better.

Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc

To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

I think that often times people assume that one's identity as a black women is by default interwoven into one's academic experiences, and while that may true, I never believed that the marginalization I face based on my identity meant that there was something I could not achieve. Quite frankly, someones racism or sexism towards me is their own problem, and over time I've become immune to it. Additionally I believe the glass ceiling is a metaphor people put on us that inadvertently gives some people imposter syndrome. To me, there are no glass ceilings. I know that if I'm able to build technology solve problems for many people, and advocate for myself while doing it, I'll be able to have whatever impact I want on the world and gain recognition for doing it. Obviously I've faced misogynior in academia, and you'd be hard pressed to find any black woman at an institution with billions of dollars at their disposal to to have been shielded from that. But numbers can't be denied, and when you walk into interviews, proposals or pitches with compelling data, concise arguments and confidence, it's often hard to be ignored. That being said, we have to acknowledge that there are very few people in general in this field. Our lack of representation as black women doesn't mean that we aren't capable, just that we haven't been shown what we can do. Consequently I believe that helping others see their potential is the greatest way I can share and create value with my knowledge, whether that be through building human-centric technology that focuses on bringing value to a user personally, or inspiring others to see their own skill solve important problems themselves.

I must say this is a very relevant and interesting topic. Celebrity endorsement, especially in the days of social media will continue to play a huge role in business management and marketing communications.From a research perspective, you might want to understand1. The type of brands that are more likely to use celebrity endorsement - banks, telecom or gambling company?2. What type of advertising appeal are being adopted? Are they emotional appeal or rational appeal?3. What type of celebrity do we have endorsing products? This can be cross tabulated with point 1.4. What are consumers attitude towards celebrity endorsement? Is it a norm or people are tired of it?5. Speaking with Brand Managers, what are their challenges in selecting and working with celebrity influencers?

Diversity is good if properly managed. Everyone brings unique qualities to the table...but we need to ensure collaboration and shared vision for diversity to be effective

I dare to enjoy the process along the way. Cyndy trimm said in her book (rules of engagement) that the only difference between a dollar bill and a tree is the process. See, as the challenges hit me, I know it has broken the hard nuts and opened for me new amazing opportunities. What if the was no stress, how will I be able to get the experience I now have?

The recruitment process of strong organizations have been tailored to identify the right talents in line with their vision and culture...this is coupled with continuous training with a combination of on the job training, projects, coaching and formal classroom trainings.

You can say that all ML is data-centric since this is the basic facet machine learning models need to function. Fairness is a growing topic that is fortunately receiving much needed attention. Companies and individuals are realizing the harms that ML can pose and are actively working to address this. Explainability is also a big factor in making ML models fair but is critically understudied, especially in the context of making ML "explainable" to those with lower technology or AI knowledge. Security can be a big issue but is usually handled on the networking side of things (data storage, transmission, etc.).

Chinasa T. Okolo

Managing Director & Computer Science PhD Student @ The Diasporic Group & Cornell University

Hello Temiloluwa, I thin you can start with your personal brand - start to build your own brand, do some research and reading, and gain an understanding of social media on your own. I think you should also aim to work at an agency, just to gain as much experience as possible from as many experts and creatives as possible. I always mention Wild Fusions and Anakle - they are two places to gain knowledge from a digital marketing standpoint. I am sure there are a whole lot of other digital agencies that you can get great experience from, but definitely try to start off in an agency.
