Breaking Barriers: Journey from Streets to Stardom | Justin Bibis | TEDxISL Pine Youth
Justin Bibis, the viral music duo, redefine the journey of success through their raw talent and
relentless determination. Rising to fame with their rendition of Justin Bieber’s Baby, they
became a symbol of Western musical inspiration in Pakistan. Their struggles reflect deep-rooted
societal issues—early marriages, lack of education for girls, and the struggles of Pakistani
artists who receive little recognition. Their story intertwines with Coke Studio’s evolution,
culminating in a powerful Peechay Hutt performance. Integrating classical music into modern
genres, they defied norms, sang for international films, and embraced their Rajasthani heritage.
They end with Lambi Judai leaving a legacy of resilience and artistry The two sisters grew up without formal education, money, and opportunities. The only thing they
did have was music. Their rhythmic voices echoing off the peeling paint on the exposed cement
walls became their source of joy and happiness in an otherwise hopeless situation.
They shared their love of music with the world in 2013 when their cover of Justin Bieber’s
"Baby" went viral, changing their lives forever. Their successive releases, like “Peechay Hut”,
later featured on Marvel’s Ms. Marvel as well, and “Next11 Anthem”, became fan favorites. The
Bibis have also contributed to numerous OSTs and TVCs.
The Justin Bibis are a testament to how music can serve as a source of joy in the darkest of
times and, given the proper platform, can spread that love to a large audience. The Justin Bibis
continue to inspire, reminding us that hope can be found even in the darkest of places with
something as small as a musical note. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

- 12:06Viajar al Futuro: lecciones de vida desde los 96 años | Rosa Molina | TEDxEAEBusinessSchoolViajaremos al futuro imaginando una vida de 96 años, reflexionando sobre cómo el tiempo moldea nuestra percepción de la vida y cómo elegimos enfrentarlo. A través de las historias reales como la de Carmen y los datos que nos brinda la neurociencia, desentrañamos las claves para envejecer con gracia: movimiento físico y mental, relaciones sólidas y una actitud positiva. Exploramos la resiliencia del cerebro humano, uno de los órganos más privilegiados en relación al envejecimiento y no solo capaz de preservar muchas de sus funciones sino incluso de potenciar otras como la regulación emocional, la empatía y la toma de decisiones basadas en experiencia. También discutimos los estereotipos sobre el envejecimiento y su impacto en nuestra calidad de vida y longevidad, resaltando la importancia de construir una reserva cognitiva robusta para afrontar los desafíos del tiempo. Conclusión: “hacerle spoiler a la vida” para envejecer mejor. Transformemos la narrativa aceptando la incertidumbre de la vida y encontrando sentido en nuestras historias. ¿Estamos listos para escribir un final que resuma la tragicomedia de nuestras vidas? Especialista en Psiquiatría en el Sistema Nacional de Salud y doctora por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Cum Laude).

- 9:41Cuando Humanos e IA Pensamos Juntos | Karina de la Puente | TEDxEAEBusinessSchool¿Qué pensarías si te dijera que la Inteligencia Artificial no está aquí para reemplazarnos, sino para hacernos mejores? En esta charla, te invito a descubrir cómo la verdadera revolución está en convertirnos en “centauros digitales”, donde la IA procesa, pero nosotros decidimos; donde la máquina calcula, pero nosotros juzgamos. Como consultora y estratega digital, comparto historias reales, basadas en mi experiencia y datos que revelan una paradoja fascinante: cuanto más avanza la IA, más importantes se vuelven nuestras cualidades humanas. A través de casos que demuestran mejoras de hasta un 40% en eficiencia y un 60% en innovación, exploro las tres capacidades fundamentales que necesitamos para prosperar en esta nueva era: Curiosidad Aumentada, Creatividad Colaborativa y Sabiduría Híbrida. El mensaje es claro: el futuro no pertenece a quienes temen a la tecnología ni a quienes la siguen ciegamente. Pertenece a los centauros digitales que aprenden a bailar con ella, combinando lo mejor de ambos mundos. Porque no vinimos a competir con las máquinas, vinimos a evolucionar junto a ellas. Karina, fundadora de Estrateka, fomenta el crecimiento rentable y sostenible de los negocios digitales al combinar estrategia, tecnología y operaciones centradas en las personas. Con experiencia que va desde Iberdrola Renovables hasta el empoderamiento de mujeres indígenas, muestra cómo la tecnología y la humanidad pueden unirse para lograr un progreso significativo. En su charla TEDx, redefine nuestra relación con la IA, inspirándonos a convertirnos en "centauros digitales", fusionando la innovación tecnológica con la esencia humana para impulsar una verdadera transformación.
