We Coded AI. It Decoded Us. Now Let’s Recode Both. | Antonia Assenova | TEDxOTHRegensburg

AI Development & Impact - AI is portrayed as a mirror reflecting human values and biases, learning and changing with us [1][7] - The power to create is shifting towards individuals with AI, bringing both empowerment and responsibility [2] - Algorithms prioritize attention, often amplifying outrage, fear, and division, as seen in the German elections where AI amplified emotional messages [1] - AI systems can scale biases present in training data, potentially making millions of people invisible [2] Human Element in Technology - The biggest questions in AI are not just technical but human, requiring input from everyone, not just developers and engineers [8] - The future is shaped by individual choices and actions, not solely by code, policy, or algorithms [10][11] - Embracing truth and building something of value are crucial for shaping a future we can stand behind [12] Personal Transformation & Acceptance - Acceptance of uncertainty and imperfection is essential for sustaining change [2] - Overcoming fear and embracing creative expression are vital for personal growth [2] - Recognizing and letting go of limiting stories can unlock potential and reshape possibilities [4][5]
