AI: The Only Solution for Underfunded Cancers? | Tassnym Echchahed | TEDxCégep Champlain St Lawrence
While medical research has made remarkable strides in treating many forms of cancer, certain variants remain trapped in the shadows of underfunding due to their lower public profile or perceived marketability. The impartial nature of artifical intelligence makes it a prominent ally in this fight, offering its analytical prowess equally to all cancers regardless of their prominence, demonstrating how technology's objectivity could help level the playing field in cancer research. My name is Tassnym Echchahed, I'm 18 years old and currently studying in the science program at CEGEP St-Lawrence. I aspire to make a positive impact in the world of robotics and artificial intelligence, since I believe they are fields often despised by the public. Indeed, the general belief regarding the threats imposed by upcoming advancements in artificial intelligence seem to outweigh the benefits that such a technology can offer to humanity. More often than not, the opposite turns out to be true, a reality that I hope to depict in the eight minutes where I detail how AI algorithms have the power to be a great help to underfunded cancers.

- 14:04“¿Por qué hay criminales que son vistos como héroes? | Andrés Felipe Acosta Alzate | TEDxLCB Youthofrece un análisis fascinante sobre el papel de los medios en la construcción de figuras criminales que se convierten en íconos culturales. Explora cómo las narrativas mediáticas, al idealizar a algunos de los criminales más notorios de la época contemporánea, diluyen los límites entre lo real y lo ficticio, transformándolos en modelos a seguir o símbolos glorificados. Mis intereses abarcan la historia, la política, la literatura y deportes como el fútbol, la Fórmula 1 y el baloncesto. Actualmente, trabajo en proyectos como aprender italiano y francés, perfeccionar mi escritura y entrenarme para correr una media maratón completa. Mis metas incluyen destacar como estudiante en la Universidad del Rosario, liderar su modelo de Naciones Unidas y realizar una doble titulación en Europa. Profesionalmente, aspiro a ocupar un cargo público en Colombia y construir una carrera diplomática que contribuya al desarrollo del país.
