Tanto. tempo fa gli esseri umani non conoscevano ancora il fuoco e perciò vivevano rintanati in caverne fredde e buie. Ma il ditano Prometeo, che era loro amico, volle aiutarli, rubò una fiamma agli dei e la donò agli umani.E finalmente questi poterano scaldarsi, cucinare, forgiare attrezzi, illuminare la notte. Ma gli dei si infuriarono. Zeus punì Prometeo, lo incatenò a una rupe dove ogni giorno un'aquila arrivava a divorargli il fegato.Fine. Piaciuta. Francamente spero di no, perché quella che vi ho appe ...
Ethical AI: Why it Matters and What's at Stake | Dvija Mehta | TEDxYouth@PPSIJC
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-18 16:21
I never set out to work in AI. My journey began in philosophy with questions of mind, selfidentity, consciousness, and how we can understand ourselves better. But as artificial intelligence started evolving, becoming more powerful, more persuasive and all the more embedded into our daily lives, these philosophical questions started becoming more pressing, urgent and practical questions, which is what led me to AI ethics because these systems don't just answer questions. These systems mimic thought. They sim ...
Perception & Reality; Two Sides of a Coin | Saanvi Narang | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-17 16:02
Cognitive Biases & Perception - Perception acts as a lens through which we view reality, influencing choices, relationships, and overall reality [3][4] - The halo effect, a cognitive bias, causes initial impressions in one area to influence overall perception of someone [7] - Stereotypes, mental shortcuts based on race, gender, or background, lead to often inaccurate judgments [11][12] - Confirmation bias shapes interpretation of news, media, and experiences, reinforcing existing beliefs [26] Decision Making - Priming, where seeing or hearing something influences response, affects decision-making [15] - The mind uses two systems: System One (fast, intuitive) and System Two (analytical, problem-solving), with reliance on System One due to efficiency [16][17] - Heuristics, cognitive rules of thumb, can lead to systematic judgment errors, such as the availability heuristic and anchoring heuristic [17][18][19] Overcoming Biases - Questioning initial assumptions and giving people a second impression can help overcome biases [12][13] - Actively seeking new perspectives and questioning assumptions can help challenge confirmation bias [27] - Slowing down, questioning impressions and decisions, and seeking the entire picture are crucial for real understanding [29][30][31]

The Secret to Negotiating as a Woman | Kathryn Valentine | TEDxSugar Creek Women
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-16 15:57
[Music] I love negotiating. I love negotiating. Anyone else or people? As women, we have a negotiation problem. When we negotiate, we are less likely than men are to be successful, and we're at a higher risk of backlash. This causes us to miss out on opportunities, earn less, and frankly, messes around with our mental well-being. Fun, right? We've all been there. There's something you want to ask for. So, we stress about it for weeks. We prepare. We take all of the expert advice. And yet it never feels like ...

[Applause] I invite you all to close your eyes for a moment. Picture a child that you love. See their smiles, their dreams, their limitless potential.Now imagine a world where their future is decided by a machine that cannot see them, cannot value them, it cannot even recognize their humanity. You can open your eyes now. This is not science fiction or one of Octavia Butler's novels.This is happening right now. Artificial intelligence or AI is molding our lives. It is making lightning fast decisions, creatin ...
Addressing AI’s Impact on the Gender Gap
Bloomberg Technology· 2025-06-13 20:21
Is there going to be an on equal impact of generative AI's use on the workforce, do you think. Well, when you look at what is happening in the world of Asia and where the applications at least today are, it's about automating jobs that are largely held by women. It just so happens that those jobs tend to be more administrative in nature and perfect and ripe for automation.And so it'll be really interesting to see what the data shows, especially this does become legislation in New York.

How to take back control of your social media feed | Montserrat Caso Fernández | TEDxBath University
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-12 15:50
What if I told you that social media algorithms function much like your own mind. And when you're scrolling, you are not just killing time, but looking at your digital mirror. Shocking, right.Let me explain it to you with an analogy. When a thought triggers a strong emotional reaction, it tends to resurface in your mind repeatedly. The same happens for the algorithms.When you react emotionally to a post, the algorithm takes note and it will likely show you that type of content or something very very similar ...
