- 11:564 ways AI reinforces injustice | Ajuna Soerjadi | TEDxHaarlemThe talk argues that AI systems reflect and reinforce existing social inequalities, leading to real-world harm through biased data, stereotypes, structural discrimination, and global injustice. Rather than being a purely technical issue, AI ethics is a deeply philosophical and societal question about the kind of world we want to create. True progress requires diverse perspectives and a collective ethical conversation about justice, inclusion, and responsibility. Ajuna (23) has a background in philosophy and specializes in the ethics of artificial intelligence. She is particularly interested in how AI impacts human rights and social inequality, and in promoting diversity and inclusion in this context. As founder of the Data Ethics Center of Expertise, she helps government organizations use algorithms responsibly through training and research. She has also been chosen as one of the global 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics (2024) and was the first Young Thinker of the Nation for her talent to discuss complex social issues in an inspiring and accessible way.

- 18:20Хераклея Синтика: мечта, но и кауза | Lyudmil Vagalinski | TEDxVitoshaHow the excavation of the ancient city of Heraclea Sintica reveals unsuspected secrets from the past? And why archaeology is not only science but a cause with profound cultural and social impact. "Knowing from a young age what you are drawn to and what you want to do is luck. But to follow your calling, you need courage", says Lyudmil Vagalinski. Although history is close to his heart to this day, surprisingly he was not accepted into the History Faculty on his first attempt. He had to go to the mandatory at the time military service for two years to return to "his own" path to archaeology. Prof. Vagalinski is the creator and editor-in-chief of the archaeology journal Archaeologia Bulgarica. He leads large-scale national and international projects, including the excavations of the ancient city of Heraclea Sintica near the village of Rupite, the Roman colony Deultum near the village of Debelt, and many more. Spending half the year in excavations, Prof. Vagalinski says “When you turn your hobby into a profession, you are in a constant state of recharge and exhaustion”.

- 5:31The Lost Art of Discipline | Syed Maaz Hasan | TEDxYouth@UISOur speaker, Syed Maaz Hasan, inspired our audience by telling us about "The Lost Art of Discipline". Like the intricate workings of a plane, Maaz speaks to our hearts and talks about how we can rediscover discipline in our daily routines. I am an Australian student at Uptown International School. Although I was originally from Pakistan, I was born in the UAE and moved to Australia for eight years. My speech reflects on my past experiences and how I overcame them. I have always wanted to exceed or stand out in public speaking and have always looked for opportunities to do so. I believe that collecting experience and building my knowledge will aid me in success in whatever career I take on. I strongly believe that the more risks I take and the new things I try will allow me to stand out and leave an impact.
