Can we build AI without losing control over it?
Sam Harris, 2016, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_we_build_ai_without_losing_control_over_it
Scared of superintelligent AI? You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris — and not just in some theoretical way. We’re going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven’t yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants.
How AI can enhance our memory, work and social lives
Tom Gruber, 2017, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/tom_gruber_how_ai_can_enhance_our_memory_work_and_social_lives
How smart can our machines make us? Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri, wants to make “humanistic AI” that augments and collaborates with us instead of competing with (or replacing) us. He shares his vision for a future where AI helps us achieve superhuman performance in perception, creativity and cognitive function — from turbocharging our design skills to helping us remember everything we’ve ever read and the name of everyone we’ve ever met. “We are in the middle of a renaissance in AI,” Gruber says. “Every time a machine gets smarter, we get smarter.”
How humans and AI can work together to create better businesses
Sylvain Duranton, 2019, TED Mumbai
Here’s a paradox: as companies try to streamline their businesses by using artificial intelligence to make critical decisions, they may inadvertently make themselves less efficient. Business technologist Sylvain Duranton advocates for a “Human plus AI” approach — using AI systems alongside humans, not instead of them — and shares the specific formula companies can adopt to successfully employ AI while keeping humans in the loop.
What happens when our computers get smarter than we are?
Nick Bostrom, 2015, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/nick_bostrom_what_happens_when_our_computers_get_smarter_than_we_are
Artificial intelligence is getting smarter by leaps and bounds — within this century, research suggests, a computer AI could be as “smart” as a human being. And then, says Nick Bostrom, it will overtake us: “Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make.” A philosopher and technologist, Bostrom asks us to think hard about the world we’re building right now, driven by thinking machines. Will our smart machines help to preserve humanity and our values — or will they have values of their own?
How AI can save our humanity
Kai-Fu Lee, 2018, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/kai_fu_lee_how_ai_can_save_our_humanity
AI is massively transforming our world, but there’s one thing it cannot do: love. In a visionary talk, computer scientist Kai-Fu Lee details how the US and China are driving a deep learning revolution — and shares a blueprint for how humans can thrive in the age of AI by harnessing compassion and creativity. “AI is serendipity,” Lee says. “It is here to liberate us from routine jobs, and it is here to remind us what it is that makes us human.”
4 ways to build a human company in the age of machines
Tim Leberecht, 2016, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_leberecht_4_ways_to_build_a_human_company_in_the_age_of_machines
In the face of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we need a new radical humanism, says Tim Leberecht. For the self-described “business romantic,” this means designing organizations and workplaces that celebrate authenticity instead of efficiency and questions instead of answers. Leberecht proposes four (admittedly subjective) principles for building beautiful organizations.
How algorithms shape our world
Kevin Slavin, 2011, TEDGlobal
https://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_slavin_how_algorithms_shape_our_world
We live in a world run by algorithms, computer programs that make decisions or solve problems for us. In this riveting, funny talk, Kevin Slavin shows how modern algorithms determine stock prices, espionage tactics, even the movies you watch. But, he asks: If we depend on complex algorithms to manage our daily decisions — when do we start to lose control?
What your smart devices know (and share) about you
Kashmir Hill & Surya Matt, 2018, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/kashmir_hill_and_surya_mattu_what_your_smart_devices_know_and_share_about_you
Once your smart devices can talk to you, who else are they talking to? Kashmir Hill and Surya Mattu wanted to find out — so they outfitted Hill’s apartment with 18 different internet-connected devices and built a special router to track how often they contacted their servers and see what they were reporting back. The results were surprising — and more than a little bit creepy. Learn more about what the data from your smart devices reveals about your sleep schedule, TV binges and even your tooth-brushing habits — and how tech companies could use it to target and profile you. (This talk contains mature language.)
We are all cyborgs now
Amber Case, 2010, TEDWomen
https://www.ted.com/talks/amber_case_we_are_all_cyborgs_now
Technology is evolving us, says Amber Case, as we become a screen-staring, button-clicking new version of homo sapiens. We now rely on “external brains” (cell phones and computers) to communicate, remember, even live out secondary lives. But will these machines ultimately connect or conquer us? Case offers surprising insight into our cyborg selves.
How technology evolves
Kevin Kelly, 2005, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_how_technology_evolves
Tech enthusiast Kevin Kelly asks “What does technology want?” and discovers that its movement toward ubiquity and complexity is much like the evolution of life.
The next 5,000 days of the web
Kevin Kelly, 2007, TED

At the 2007 EG conference, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what’s coming in the next 5,000 days?
Technology's epic story
Kevin Kelly, 2009, TEDxAmsterdam
https://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_technology_s_epic_story
In this wide-ranging, thought-provoking talk, Kevin Kelly muses on what technology means in our lives — from its impact at the personal level to its place in the cosmos.
Memes and "temes"
Susan Blackmore, 2008, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_blackmore_memes_and_temes
Susan Blackmore studies memes: ideas that replicate themselves from brain to brain like a virus. She makes a bold new argument: Humanity has spawned a new kind of meme, the teme, which spreads itself via technology — and invents ways to keep itself alive
What explains the rise of humans?
Yuval Noah Harari, 2015, TEDGlobalLondon
Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we’ve spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did we get from there to here? Historian Yuval Noah Harari suggests a surprising reason for the rise of humanity.
21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
Yuval Noah Harari, 2017, University of California Television (UCTV)
Historian Yuval Noah Harari has taken the world on a tour through the span of humanity, from apes to rulers of the world. Harari became an international sensation when he argued in his best-selling book Sapiens that humans conquered the world through our ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money and freedom. In the highly-anticipated sequel Homo Deus, Harari looks to the future, exploring how godlike technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering will define what we become
The Future Of Humanity
Michio Kaku, 2019
World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilisation in outer space. This recording was taken during Dr. Michio Kaku’s Australian tour in October and November of 2018! ‘The Future of Humanity’ untangled the brain-wrinkling conundrums of String Theory, astronomy, futurism & interplanetary colonisation.

Life in the "digital now"
Abha Dawesar, 2013, TEDGlobal
https://www.ted.com/talks/abha_dawesar_life_in_the_digital_now
One year ago, Abha Dawesar was living in blacked-out Manhattan post-Sandy, scrounging for power to connect. As a novelist, she was struck by this metaphor: Have our lives now become fixated on the drive to digitally connect, while we miss out on what’s real?
Connected, but alone?
Sherry Turkle, 2012, TED
https://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turkle_connected_but_alone
As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle studies how our devices and online personas are redefining human connection and communication — and asks us to think deeply about the new kinds of connection we want to have.
The wonderful and terrifying implications of computers that can learn
Jeremy Howard, 2014 TEDx Brussels
What happens when we teach a computer how to learn? Technologist Jeremy Howard shares some surprising new developments in the fast-moving field of deep learning, a technique that can give computers the ability to learn Chinese, or to recognize objects in photos, or to help think through a medical diagnosis. (One deep learning tool, after watching hours of YouTube, taught itself the concept of “cats.”) Get caught up on a field that will change the way the computers around you behave … sooner than you probably think.

Sugata Mitra, 2010, TEDGlobal
https://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_the_child_driven_education
Education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education — the best teachers and schools don’t exist where they’re needed most. In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching.
Why massive open online courses (still) matter
Anant Agarwal, 2013, TEDGlobal
https://www.ted.com/talks/anant_agarwal_why_massive_open_online_courses_still_matter
2013 was a year of hype for MOOCs (massive open online courses). Great big numbers and great big hopes were followed by some disappointing first results. But the head of edX, Anant Agarwal, makes the case that MOOCs still matter — as a way to share high-level learning widely and supplement (but perhaps not replace) traditional classrooms. Agarwal shares his vision of blended learning, where teachers create the ideal learning experience for 21st century students.

Your smartphone is a civil rights issue
Christopher Soghoian, 2016, TEDSummit
https://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_soghoian_your_smartphone_is_a_civil_rights_issue
The smartphone you use reflects more than just personal taste … it could determine how closely you can be tracked, too. Privacy expert and TED Fellow Christopher Soghoian details a glaring difference between the encryption used on Apple and Android devices and urges us to pay attention to a growing digital security divide. “If the only people who can protect themselves from the gaze of the government are the rich and powerful, that’s a problem,” he says. “It’s not just a cybersecurity problem — it’s a civil rights problem.”
