The AI Paradox : Slower is Faster | Di Le | TEDxHECMontréal
EN/
The AI Paradox: Slower is Faster challenges the push for frictionless AI by reframing speed and convenience as potential risks—not just rewards. In this talk, Di Le explores the rapid evolution of generative AI, drawing parallels to the myth of Icarus to caution against unrestrained innovation. With vivid case studies, she introduces the concept of intentional friction: thoughtful design choices that slow users down just enough to prevent harm, ensure trust, and reinforce responsibility. As AI shifts from deterministic tools to probabilistic, agentic systems, Di argues that the best way forward isn’t to remove all barriers—but to design smarter ones. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or everyday user, this talk invites you to rethink your role in shaping how AI meets the real world. Sometimes, slowing down is the responsible way to move fast.FR/
Le paradoxe de l’IA : ralentir pour aller de l’avant remet en question la perspective de développement des technologies d’intelligence artificielle sans frictions, ceci en analysant la rapidité et la facilité d’usage sous le prisme de risques potentiels—et non uniquement comme des avantages. Dans cette conférence, Di Le explore l'évolution fulgurante de l’IA générative en établissant un parallèle avec le mythe d'Icare pour mettre en garde contre l’innovation dénuée de barrières. À travers des études de cas parlantes, elle introduit le concept de « friction intentionnelle ». Ce sont des choix de conception réfléchis qui ralentissent légèrement les utilisateurs dans leur utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle afin d’éviter quelques dommages, d’instaurer de la confiance et renforcer leur responsabilité. Alors que l’IA évolue, passant d'outils déterministes à des systèmes probabilistes et autonomes, Di soutient que l’avenir ne consiste pas à supprimer toutes les barrières, mais à en concevoir de meilleures. Que vous soyez designer, développeur ou utilisateur régulier de ces technologies, cette conférence vous invite à repenser votre rôle dans la rencontre entre l’IA et le monde réel. Parfois, ralentir est la manière responsable d’aller plus loin. Di Le is a leader in human-centered AI design, focusing on responsible AI development at ServiceNow and globally. With expertise in human-machine interaction, they have pioneered research in autonomous collaborative robots and human-AI workflows. Di also helps organizations establish frameworks for responsible AI practices while fostering innovation and ethics as a technologist and public communicator. As a Google WTM global ambassador, a Data Science Alliance ambassador, and CES Innovations Awards judge, Di is committed to elevating public understanding of AI’s societal impact. Her work bridges the gap between design, research, and governance to help guide AI systems toward being beneficial and benevolent, aligning with human values.

- 15:19Solving Stratification: Opening Opportunities in Math Education | Kristian Edosomwan | TEDxTAMUKristian Edosomwan coined the term "opportunity stratification" to explain students' different levels of access to opportunities such as advanced mathematics. Kristian explores how these gaps shape students' academic and life trajectories and presents ideas to ensure all learners have the mathematical foundation needed to support and hold up our world.To learn more about TEDxTAMU and explore our speakers and events, visit www.tedxtamu.org. Kristian Edosomwan is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture (TLAC) at Texas A&M University with an emphasis in Multicultural Education. She is a critical quantitative scholar who researches educational inequities of students from marginalized and minoritized backgrounds. Specifically, her research and publications often center on advanced K-12 coursework, academic tracking, and discipline as it relates to student outcomes. She has published in journals such as Race, Ethnicity and Education, School Science and Mathematics, and the Journal of Education.

- 10:06Ma quella è davvero una Mucca Viola?!? | Michele Valsecchi | TEDxLegnano YouthLa maggior parte delle persone si conforma per paura di essere giudicata, ma così facendo diventa invisibile. Il cervello umano, programmato per la sopravvivenza sociale, ci spinge a nascondere ciò che ci rende unici. Questo contenuto svela perché distinguersi non è solo coraggio, ma una necessità per emergere. Attraverso principi di psicologia comportamentale e neuroscienze, scoprirai come trasformare la tua unicità in una forza attrattiva, superare il pilota automatico e sfruttare la noia come leva creativa. Non essere parte del paesaggio. Diventa memorabile. Lecchese di nascita, classe 2004. E-commerce specialist.Fondatore di Fast&Park, app che semplifica la ricerca di parcheggi.Sempre alla ricerca di nuovi stimoli che gli diano un senso di direzione; che sia professionale, personale o sportiva, il senso di crescita è ciò che lo porta sempre un passo avanti. Ama la natura e gli sport outdoor, che rappresentano per lui una costante occasione di sfida e miglioramento.
