The Power of Technology: Will AI Take Over the World? | Richard Gunara | TEDxYouth@RegentsSchool
This speaker tackles a big question: Will AI take over the world? Richard, will be exploring several elements of the question lots of us are curious about.
Richard Antonio Gunara is a 14-year-old student at Regent’s International School Bangkok. Passionate about science, technology, and the future of humanity, Richard has always been fascinated by artificial intelligence—not just how it works, but how it impacts the world around us. For his TEDx talk, Richard asks the question: Will AI take over the world? His answer, a confident no, comes from his independent research and a deep curiosity that sparked during a discussion with his friends. He chose this topic after noticing how many people, especially his peers and even adults, were either overly excited or deeply anxious about AI. Richard wanted to bring a balanced, thoughtful perspective to the debate about AI, showing that while AI is powerful, it's still a tool—and one that’s very much under human control. Richard aims to demystify artificial intelligence and inspire others to understand it, not fear it.

- 11:19Choreographing Black Food Futures: With Alvin Ailey | Bobby Smith II, Ph.D. | TEDxPVAMUIn this TEDxPVAMU talk, “The Choreography of Black Food Futures: Thinking Out Loud with Alvin Ailey,” Dr. Bobby J. Smith II challenges the audience to think creatively and differently about food through an idea he calls the choreography of Black food futures. This idea blends the metrics of Black choreographic practice with Black food systems-level thinking. Specifically, Dr. Smith draws on prominent Black choreographer Alvin Ailey’s mission of the choreographer—to create movement and search for truth in such movement—to think out loud about the future of food in Black life. Dr. Smith makes clear that the choreography of Black food futures involves coordinated interactions between four sites: Empty space. People. Actionable thinking. Creative analytics. An award-winning author, social scientist, and professor, Dr. Bobby J. Smith II explores the historical and contemporary relationship between Black communities, food justice, and agricultural policy. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, with affiliations in food science, human nutrition, and public policy.
