Stacy Herbert, director of El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office, has been recognized as one of the top 20 most original voices in artificial intelligence and technology, according to a new ranking published by @grok, an emerging AI-powered analysis platform.
The recognition is based on engagement and insight shared within the network of Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer), a prominent Silicon Valley figure who follows and is followed by thousands of global tech leaders. The ranking places Herbert among high-profile innovators such as Elon Musk, John Carmack, and Emad Mostaque.
Herbert, who plays a key role in promoting Bitcoin adoption and digital innovation in El Salvador, was ranked #17 for originality, highlighting her influence beyond cryptocurrency and into the broader realm of future technologies.
“Wow. Robert Scoble follows and is followed by thousands of AI and tech visionaries. Grok ranked me in the top twenty of those for originality,” Herbert shared on her official account @stacyherbert.
This recognition reinforces El Salvador’s growing presence in the global conversation on artificial intelligence, Web3, and decentralized technologies. Under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele, the country has positioned itself as a hub for digital transformation, financial innovation, and sovereign tech policy.
As global tech communities increasingly look to Latin America for leadership in emerging technologies, Herbert’s ranking signals international validation of El Salvador’s digital vision.
