Jennifer Ai, founder and CEO of Leopard AI Inc., took on stage to pitch showcase Leopard AI's vision and progress, featured as one of the Top 5 gaming changing speakers in Elevate conference 2025, in Toronto.

She dressed an exotic South African dress on stage with a clear message - We stand at a historical inflection point.

Our recent invitation to the G20 Summit in South Africa confirms that world leaders see our model as a critical solution.

With youth unemployment at a staggering 60% in many regions such as South Africa, traditional pathways to prosperity are crumbling. In this challenge lies our greatest opportunity. When jobs are scarce, entrepreneurship becomes one of the last, best hopes. It is the engine of job creation and social mobility.

The twin forces shaping our world are clear: Artificial Intelligence promises unprecedented innovation, yet also fuels fears of widespread job displacement. While fears persist that AI will take jobs in developed countries like North America, we're proving AI can be the most powerful tool to create jobs, empower creators, and rebuild economic opportunity.

What we offer at Leopard AI Inc. not just a product, but a partnership in building a legacy, with a proud social impact world wide.
