👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

Tyler Perry, a titan in the film and TV industry, has hit the pause button on an ambitious $800 million expansion of his Atlanta studio complex, shaken by the prowess of OpenAI's video generator, Sora.
