[What I stand for: eight ideas](https://olivier-gomez.com/what-i-stand-for/) ### Growth, not only efficiency AI should drive revenue, innovation and competitive edge, not just automate tasks. ### Aligned with the business Many AI projects fail because they do not match business goals. Adoption must be strategic, scalable and measurable. ### Real implementation Hands-on experience from corporate AI leadership and from startups, not theory. ### People first AI is about people as much as technology. Workforces should be empowered, not replaced. ## Beyond controlled environments I travel, a lot, and I go far. 67 countries so far. From TV studios, big stages and three-star Michelin tables to remote places where a bodyguard was part of the plan. Pictured: in the field with a security escort, a DigiTruck classroom in Kenya (2026), students at 42 Antananarivo in Madagascar (2025), on the road by motorbike, and on stage at VivaTech (2023). Edge one ### Where AI is built and sold Boardrooms, global stages, GITEX, MWC, VivaTech. This is where the future gets pitched. Edge two ### Where the internet has not arrived Villages in Madagascar, northern Kenya, Komodo Island. People not online yet, and some without electricity. They still run communities, families and trade at full human speed. I live on both edges of the digital divide. It keeps my view of AI honest. If an idea only works in a boardroom, it is not finished. I wrote about it in [The Hidden Divide](https://olivier-gomez.com/insights/hidden-divide-what-remote-communities-taught-me-about-ai/) and in [I have been to 67 countries](https://olivier-gomez.com/insights/67-countries-i-do-not-own-the-best-of-everything/).
