The Humans Are Coming: AI in Neuroscience | Eric Rosenthal | TEDxBoston
10 lug 2026
Eric S. Rosenthal, MD, draws on Massachusetts’ revolutionary history to explore a new revolution in digital health and AI within medicine and neuroscience. Massachusetts was not merely the place where a new government began; it was a place where ordinary people built new systems for perceiving signals, sharing information, coordinating action, and imagining a different future. Two hundred and fifty years later, we are surrounded by signals again — in the pauses in a patient’s voice, the distance someone walks each day, the social networks they maintain, and the countless fragments of a medical record. Drawing from the breadth of digital and AI expertise at the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute, the talk highlights how privacy-protecting, human-centered technologies — including ambient documentation, early diagnostic algorithms, voice and movement sensing, digital biomarkers, social and community mapping, predictive analytics, and monitoring that can help a clinician understand a patient not as a snapshot during a brief office encounter, but as a person navigating challenges through daily life — may transform care for people with conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system, including stroke and cerebrovascular disease, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions and dementias, epilepsy, tumors of the brain and spine, coma, neuromuscular disease, and other complex neurological and neurosurgical conditions. The talk articulates an aspiration in which technology recedes into the background, the patient comes more fully into view, and clinicians have more room for the work only humans can do: listening, noticing, explaining, comforting, accompanying patients through uncertainty, and collaborating to heal, cure, and prevent illness. Eric S. Rosenthal, MD, is Director of Digital and Intelligent Health for the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute, Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and Associate Neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. His clinical and research work focuses on improving care for people with conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system. His work spans digital biomarkers, collaborative data science, and monitoring-informed clinical trials that use EEG, multimodal patient data, and artificial intelligence to understand patients more fully, personalize treatment, accelerate discovery, and make care more present, trustworthy, and human.

Imagination and storytelling in the age of AI | Marco Gentile | TEDxBerlin
10 lug 2026
What happens to human imagination when technology begins anticipating our thoughts before they fully form, reshaping our relationship with uncertainty, consequence, and irreversible time? Drawing from filmmaking, philosophy, and personal experience, director Marco Gentile explores how generative AI is reshaping not only creativity, but the conditions that make storytelling, freedom, and authorship possible in the first place. Marco Gentile is an Italian advertising, music videos and film director, writer, and speaker exploring storytelling, imagination, and human agency in the age of artificial intelligence. Known for his cinematic approach to commercial storytelling, he has directed international campaigns for brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, Toyota, Vodafone, Lexus, and Coca-Cola, with work recognized at Cannes Lions and other major international festivals. A Fulbright Scholar, Marco holds a Master’s degree in Film and Media Arts from Emerson College in Boston, as well as a degree in Political Science. He spent several years on the director roster at Ridley Scott Associates in Los Angeles, developing large-scale international projects across advertising and film. Alongside his directing work, Marco has increasingly focused on a deeper question: what happens to human imagination, authorship, and decision making when the symbolic environment around us becomes increasingly generated rather than authored? He is currently completing his first book, Time Does Not Rehearse, a philosophical narrative work exploring storytelling, human finitude, and imagination in the age of AI.

Can we protect democracy from fake news? | Maxim Nitsche | TEDxBerlin
10 lug 2026
Every day, a billion new posts flood our feeds — and hidden among them, the fake news built to plant doubt. Entrepreneur Maxim Nitsche traces a real lie — that the Gates Foundation engineered ticks to stop us eating meat — as it travels from outlet to outlet in a single live visualization. Learn how AI has changed the terms of the fight against disinformation — and why, for once, there's reason for optimism. Maxim Nitsche builds AI to defend democracies against disinformation. He is the co-founder and CEO of deep, a Berlin-based company whose system, deepTrust, detects coordinated manipulation campaigns before they go viral. His path started early. At 15, Maxim co-founded MATH 42 with his brother and his father. The AI tutor helped over 7 million students overcome their fear of math at a fraction of the cost of private tutoring, and was acquired by Chegg in 2017. The lesson stayed with him: AI is a tool for good — if it is applied thoughtfully. Maxim is curious to a fault, which shows up in his lifelong, flailing attempts to get better at chess and tennis, and in a treasure trove of useless facts no one asked for.

Why Should Robots Learn Their Physical Self? | Fernando Diaz Ledezma | TEDxTUM
10 lug 2026
We humans have bodily awareness that gives us proprioception — but what about robots? Fernando Díaz Ledezma explains how giving robots an inner sense of their body can make them more resilient and adaptive. He further explains why this ability could be a major step forward in enabling robots to truly be able to interact with our world and learn about their self on their own. Fernando Díaz Ledezma is a robotics researcher at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich. His work explores how robots can develop a sense of their own physical body through learning, enabling them to adapt, recover from damage, and interact more naturally with the world.

Why I take my college students to prison | Ann Frost | TEDxUofW
7 lug 2026
When society pictures incarcerated individuals, the public imagination often defaults to dangerous people locked in cages, far beyond rehabilitation. University professor and educator Ann Frost challenges this damaging stereotype by bringing her college students inside prison walls to participate in a shared book club. In this moving talk, she reveals how stripping away the artificial barriers of the criminal legal system to engage in mutual learning fosters profound compassion and understanding. Discover why expanding access to prison education is essential, not just for reducing recidivism, but for reminding us that we are all simply people who can learn from each other. Ann Frost is a Full Time Lecturer in Law Societies and Justice (LSJ) and Sociology. Ann’s research focuses on state sentencing policies during the War on Drugs, and the issues for racial and ethnic minorities that arose from these policies. Her research also addresses the racial language, both explicit and implicit, employed by state legislators and others who advocated for or against the War on Drugs. Ann is a lawyer who practiced criminal defense as a public defender for 15 years. This professional experience fueled her interest in studying the political, legal, and sociological issues that impact the American criminal justice system and the individuals who become involved in it. She continues to research these issues and to enrich her classes with these studies. Ann teaches classes in LSJ such as Miscarriages of Justice, and Punishment: Theory and Practice, and classes in Sociology such as Law and Society.

Why the Most Experienced Voices Remain Invisible | Reim El Houni | TEDxJumeirahBeachPark
7 lug 2026
This talk explores why many of the most experienced voices remain invisible in a world that rewards visibility.

El futuro es superconductor | Pablo Cayado | TEDxOviedoUniversity
7 lug 2026
¿Qué tienen en común una resonancia magnética, un tren que levita, un ordenador cuántico y los grandes retos energéticos del futuro? En esta charla, Pablo Cayado nos acerca al fascinante mundo de los superconductores: materiales capaces de comportarse de forma casi mágica cuando se enfrían lo suficiente. A través de ejemplos cotidianos, referencias históricas y demostraciones en directo, la charla explica cómo la superconductividad permite conducir electricidad sin resistencia, generar campos magnéticos extraordinarios y hacer posible tecnologías que hasta hace poco parecían ciencia ficción. Desde la medicina hasta la computación cuántica, desde el transporte hasta la fusión nuclear, los superconductores aparecen como una pieza clave para imaginar un futuro más eficiente, potente y sostenible. Con un tono cercano y divulgativo, Cayado convierte un fenómeno complejo de la física aplicada en una invitación a mirar la ciencia con asombro: a veces, el futuro no empieza con una gran máquina, sino con un material capaz de cambiar las reglas del juego. Una charla sobre levitación, energía, innovación y el enorme potencial de aquello que todavía no vemos, pero que ya está sosteniendo parte del mundo que viene.

The Calculus of Greener Grass | Haofeng "Fish" Yu | TEDxWinsor School Youth
7 lug 2026
Haofeng "Fish" Yu is an actuary and mathematician who spent his career building models to predict the future. He decides to apply that same rigor to his own life, and his model says: move from Houston to Boston. What follows is a cross-country drive through a near-collision on I-90, a rocky start building his consulting firm, FolioX, amid a colder culture, and months of aimless T rides trying to find where he belongs. The turning point comes at the Arnold Arboretum, in front of a 74-year-old bald cypress, a swamp tree from the Gulf Coast that has survived decades of Boston winters without ever becoming a maple. Blending math, humor, and honest reflection on adaptation, Yu distills his experience into two elegant conclusions: adapt to your environment, but never stop being yourself. Haofeng "Fish" Yu is new to Boston and new to the Winsor community. After relocating from Houston with his younger daughter in August, he has been rethinking a familiar idea: the grass is greener somewhere else. In his talk, Fish shares how change, distance, and everyday effort shape where - and how - we grow.

Learning to live with perfectionism | Reese Saliceti | TEDxUTAustin
2 lug 2026
Perfectionism often convinces us that our lives must be polished before they can be meaningful. In Cut Your Cake: Learning to Live with Perfectionism, baker, entrepreneur, and UT Austin student Reese Saliceti reflects on building Dulce Custom Cakes, navigating failure, and learning that the pressure to be perfect can suffocate the courage to create.

De nouveaux récits pour un monde durable | Marketing & imaginaires | Thomas PAROUTY | TEDxSaclay
2 lug 2026
Nos récits créent nos imaginaires et façonnent nos désirs. Depuis la Grotte de Lascaux, l’homme se raconte des histoires, pour transmettre sa culture et se projeter dans le futur. La culture issue du cinéma, de la TV, des réseaux sociaux ou de la publicité a transformé nos cultures populaires, bourgeoises, syndicales… en une seule grande culture de la consommation. Cette hyperproduction casse les limites planétaires. Il est donc urgent de réinventer nos récits. Les marques devront nous proposer des récits de consommation joyeuse et d’usage partagé plutôt que de propriété égoïste. Elles doivent proposer un nouvel imaginaire de bonheur, pour casser les normes sociales actuelles et inventer un nouvel avenir sobre et désirable. Après trois années passées au Chili pour Pasteur, Thomas débute sa carrière dans de grandes agences de communication. En 2009, il fonde MIEUX, la première agence de communication dédiée à la RSE. Avec son équipe, il accompagne les entreprises dans la valorisation de leurs engagements auprès de leurs collaborateurs, clients et territoires, tout en contribuant au lancement de produits et services plus durables, locaux et circulaires. Entreprise à mission, MIEUX a été élue Agence Communication RSE de l’année. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Competencias: nacen cerca y transforman el mundo | Carlos Julio González Muñoz | TEDxCIS SFP Youth
2 lug 2026
Llevamos décadas hablando de reformar la educación. De modernizarla. De adaptarla al siglo XXI. Pero, ¿y si el problema no es el sistema, sino lo que decidimos enseñar dentro de él? Carlos Julio lleva años en las aulas observando algo que la mayoría pasa por alto: hay competencias que no aparecen en ningún libro de texto, que no se evalúan en ningún examen, y que sin embargo son las que más lejos llevan a las personas. Las que construyen puentes entre el aula y el mundo real. Las que transforman alumnos en ciudadanos, y ciudadanos en agentes de cambio. En esta charla, Carlos desvela las 7 competencias que deberían estar en el centro de cualquier educación que aspire a transformar el mundo. No como teoría. Sino desde su propia experiencia, desde dentro de las aulas. Porque el futuro no se construye solo con conocimiento. Se construye con personas que saben usarlo. Profesional en Educación e Innovación Académica y doctorando en Innovación Educativa, con experiencia en el diseño y ejecución de proyectos educativos en distintos niveles de enseñanza. Actualmente es jefe del Departamento de Lengua del Colegio Internacional de Sevilla San Francisco de Paula.

Growing Through Change | Catherine Tresa Alexander | TEDxSIBMBengaluru
2 lug 2026
Join Catherine Tresa Alexander as she explores the transformative power of change and the role it plays in shaping who we become. Drawing from experiences across cultures, environments, and different phases of life, she reflects on how embracing change can lead to deeper self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth. Through thoughtful insights, Catherine examines the distinction between comfort, habit, and true stability, encouraging audiences to question inherited beliefs and recognize when familiar paths no longer align with their evolving selves. She explores how moments of uncertainty often become the starting point for meaningful transformation, reminding us that growth begins with the courage to ask difficult questions. Addressing the pressures of social comparison in an increasingly connected world, she challenges the notion of measuring success against others. Instead, she advocates for viewing life as an individual journey—one guided by intentional choices, continuous learning, and the willingness to evolve rather than the pursuit of perfection. She also highlights how financial independence can empower individuals to make decisions that are authentic to their values and aspirations. With honesty and optimism, Catherine reminds us that intelligence is not defined by having all the answers, but by remaining open to change, learning, and reinvention. Advocating for a mindset rooted in adaptability and self-discovery, she leaves audiences with the belief that true growth is measured not by how fast we move, but by our willingness to evolve with purpose. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
