[Music] Namaskar. Good afternoon. Imagine waking up one day to read your own obituary in the newspaper.Not that typical predictable boring obituary in which you are eologized as if you were a gift to the mankind but the one that calls you merchant of death. Merchant of death. Yes, that's exactly what happened to Alfred Noble.The man who invented dynamite. The man who saw himself rich, successful, someone changing the world, suddenly labeled a villain. Or picture this, a person hiding in jungle for 30 years, ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-03 16:20
Creativity & AI - The creative industry is questioning what it means to create as humans in the age of AI, emphasizing a return to instinct, vulnerability, and childlike curiosity [3][4] - AI is viewed as a tool that can supercharge creativity by speeding up processes, but it requires human direction and lacks the ability to dream, wonder, or feel [9] - Hallucinations in AI, or mistakes, are seen as potentially closer to human creativity than realized, as they represent deviations from intended paths [10] - The industry believes that human instinct, curiosity, and chaos are essential fuels that AI cannot create on its own, suggesting a collaborative approach for reaching new heights [11] - The industry emphasizes that AI excels at making, solving, and replicating, while humans provide the "why," meaning, empathy, and curiosity [12] - Unlearning existing rules and conceptions is crucial for breaking patterns and fostering creative breakthroughs [15][16] The Value of Human Creativity - Creativity is defined as emotion, suggesting that human feeling and soul are essential components that machines lack [2] - The industry suggests that instability and chaos are not flaws in creativity but rather its heartbeat, highlighting the importance of embracing these elements [13][14] - The industry believes that human creativity is unique and irreplaceable because it has life, feeling, and is contagious, inspiring others [17][19] - The industry encourages embracing what AI cannot do – instinct, empathy, and vulnerability – to protect the unique aspects of human creativity [20][21]

TEDx Talks· 2025-10-06 16:52
Core Argument - The central theme revolves around the concept of "unlearning" as a critical skill for future success, arguing that adaptability and the ability to let go of outdated knowledge are as important as continuous learning [19][20][21][23][24] - The presentation emphasizes that the future workforce will require individuals to embrace change and be prepared for jobs that don't yet exist [5][6] Illustrative Examples - The presentation contrasts companies like Kodak, Blockbuster, and Nokia, which failed due to their inability to adapt and unlearn, with companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Netflix, which thrived by embracing new models and technologies [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] - Nvidia is presented as a case study of successful unlearning, transitioning from a gaming GPU company to a core player in the AI revolution [24][25] Implications for Education and Career Development - The presentation suggests a shift in educational focus from rote learning to fostering a growth mindset, adaptability, and new-age soft skills like storytelling, personal branding, and networking [26][27] - The industry needs to move beyond simply demanding talent and actively participate in talent co-creation with educational institutions [32] - The traditional model of "learn, graduate, get placed, and work" should be replaced with a continuous cycle of "learn, unlearn, relearn, and repeat" [30][31] Practical Steps for Unlearning - The presentation outlines a four-step process for unlearning: question the ecosystem, seek diverse perspectives, release what is no longer valuable, and relearn with a fresh approach to rise beyond limiting factors [32][33][34] Key Statistics Highlighted - 65% of jobs that children in school today will hold have not yet been invented [5][6] - By the age of 18, an individual will have taken over 100 examinations, completed over 1,000 test papers, and spent over 15,000 classroom hours [4][5]

Imagine a world where the only form of communication was crying. Right. As children, our only way of communicating to our parents was if we simply cried, we'd get our work done.But as we grew up, we had to unlearn that crying was the only way of communication. We formed words slowly, negotiations, arguments and finally we can speak how we can today. The fundamental thing is unlearning is not forgetting.It's a common misconception because of the prefix un. It negates the word. It is about evolving.It is reco ...

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay. So I was working on my TEDex speech when my mom barged in demanding to see an update on it because I'd exceeded the due line.Uh she said for me the problem is my notes were scattered across the Google Docs randomly. When she saw the chaos of my screen, she froze. Literally, she just stood there unmoving, staring at my screen like it had done the worst crime imaginable.When she finally spoke, she said, "What is this, Anaga? Where is your pen and paper? Why haven't you wri ...
