Move with purpose | Romanah Buchanan | TEDxAstonUniversity
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-12 16:15
How often do we confuse being busy with moving forward. Think back to the last decision that you made. Was it out of pressure or was it out of purpose.I know we're all busy. I'm busy. I'm a mom of two. I'm a wife. I'm a creative entrepreneur.I'm 29 and I've got a busy social life. So, juggling a lot of things is sometimes a challenge. I bet you can relate.But I want to tell you about a time where time stood still for me and it forced me to reflect on what my purpose actually was. I gave birth to my second c ...
Musica e danza | Mattia Morleo & Anna Kolesarova | TEDxLecco
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-12 16:15
Sul palco di TEDxLecco 2025 il compositore Mattia Vlad Morleo e la coreografa Anna Kolesarova hanno creato un momento sospeso in cui musica e movimento si cercano, si sfiorano e si rispondono. La loro performance, ideata appositamente per l’evento, esplora il tema MIND THE GAP trasformando le distanze in possibilità, e il dialogo tra la delicatezza della musica classica e la vibrazione dell’elettronica diventa un territorio in cui gli opposti si incontrano e si riconoscono, mentre la coreografia di Anna dà ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 18:00
[Applause] What if I told you that the best way to motivate a child was to do just let them do whatever they feel like doing. You don't believe me, do you. But after working with children for more than 20 years and completing a PhD in developmental psychology, if there's one thing I know, it's how kids work.And today I'm going to share with you how children's motivation works like a running week. So to get started, can I have a volunteer from the audience for a quick demonstration. Mina is a friend of mine. ...

Have you ever wondered why is the sky blue. Where do dreams come from. Or what pushed prehistoric people to leave their caves.Well, I have. And not just once. It all started a few months ago.I was traveling home from university, completely drained after a long day of lectures. I got on a train, sat down, and did what most of us do when we retired. I started mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, simply letting the hours drift away.All I needed at that time was peace and silence. Nothingness. However, next ...

Will AI kill us all? | Chris Meah | TEDxAstonUniversity
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 17:56
AI Capabilities & Development - AI is currently understood as neural networks, deep learning (large neural networks), and large language models (big neural networks for autocomplete) [1] - The "bitter lesson" of AI is that scaling up machines with more parameters and data leads to increased intelligence, but whether it can scale to superintelligence remains unknown [1] - The AI industry is in a race to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), where the winner takes all, incentivizing rapid development and potentially overlooking safety concerns [2][3] Potential Benefits of AI - AI could lead to personalized media, personalized healthcare, and potentially cure all diseases [1] - AI has the potential to eliminate work and usher in an era of play, world peace, and space exploration [1] - AI could significantly improve lives and enhance humanity if aligned with human values [4] Risks & Challenges of AI - AI is distorting reality, making digital verification impossible and leading to the humanization of AI, which can have negative impacts on children [1] - AI could lead to separate realities and erode trust, which is vital for human society [2] - Increased reliance on AI could lead to cybercrime, as AI can be used to generate hacking code, making everyone vulnerable [2] - Uncontrolled superintelligent AI could lead to unintended consequences and potentially the destruction of humanity [2] - Over-reliance on AI could erode human attention, skills, and motivation, leading to premature handover of power to machines [2] AI Alignment & Control - The current approach to AI development, led by entrepreneurs and software developers, prioritizes speed over safety and alignment [4] - AI alignment with humanity must be a core goal, pursued with the same or greater vigor as the pursuit of superintelligence [4] - The industry needs to balance the benefits of AI with the risks and guard against them, advocating for a return to philosophy and exploration of different perspectives [4]

[Music] Let me start with a quiz. What do you guys see here. >> A cow.Yes. A rope. Yes.A pole. Yes. But there's something more over here.I will answer that little later. So, this cow is tied to the pole with the rope. And when she starts grazing, she grazes only in the circle which gets created by rope around the pole. And over a period of time, it starts believing that that's the only universe and domain she has for grazing.Over a period of time, rope goes away, pole goes away, but cow continues to graze t ...
