What is a AKC dog?
The American Kennel Club (or AKC) is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States. Thus, if a dog has AKC papers you can be assured the dog is a purebred and not a mix.
Is the American kennel club a puppy mill?
No. The American Kennel Club (AKC) is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States (in addition to promoting events, like dog shows, for purebred dogs, but that's irrelevant to the question). To register with the AKC, an owner needs to show the dog's parents were registered as a purebred breed (recognized by the AKC). The AKC isn't a puppy mill because it is not involved at all with the actual breeding of dogs. Note that there has been some criticism of the AKC, as a registered dog is no sign whatsoever of dog health or any sort of strong bloodline. AKC registered dogs often still possess genetic diseases since the AKC does not required any sort of health screening for a dog to be registered. Therefore puppy mill dogs can often still be registered with the AKC, and "fool" uninformed consumers. The AKC is not a puppy mill itself, but note that a piece of paper signifying a dog is registered with the AKC is not a sign the dog didn't originally come from a puppy mill.
