The Event
I was honored to be selected as a featured speaker for TEDxIA, held at FCS Innovation Academy. The journey to the stage encompassed a grueling but incredibly rewarding 4-month process of preparation, refinement, and practice.
The Message: How AI is Changing What it Means to Be Smart
As artificial intelligence models become increasingly capable of performing complex analytical and creative tasks, the traditional metrics we use to define “intelligence” are being challenged. My presentation explored:
Presenting at the TEDx event hosted at FCS Innovation Academy.
- The Evolution of Intelligence: How rote memorization and basic computation are being outsourced to machines.
- The New Paradigm of Smart: Shifting the focus toward critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and the ability to ask the right questions (prompt engineering and system design).
- Implications for Education: What this means for students today and how educational systems must adapt to foster uniquely human skills.
Delivering this message on the TEDx stage allowed me to share my passion for AI ethics and its societal impact with a broad and engaged audience.
