Le impronte che lasciamo | Pino Trimboli | TEDxReggioEmilia
Pino ci fa riflettere su come il coraggio non si esprima solo in atti eroici ma anche attraverso le scelte quotidiane di persone comuni. Per farci capire come è arrivato a questa conclusione Pino ci racconta alcuni passaggi della sua vita. Cresciuto in un ambiente difficile ha vissuto da giovanissimo il dramma delle minacce di ‘ndrangheta. Dopo questo episodio decide di trasferirsi in America per 2 anni. Ritorna nel 1992, periodo delle stragi mafiose e trova ispirazione nelle parole di Paolo Borsellino: "Chi ha paura muore ogni giorno, chi non ha paura muore una volta sola". In quel momento decide di impegnarsi nella sua terra aprendo un ristorante e si rifiuta di pagare il pizzo, nonostante le minacce di morte. Il suo coraggio non è frutto di poteri sovrumani ma della scelta di fare ciò che è giusto. Resistere alla criminalità organizzata e dire "no" diventa un atto di coraggio che ispira la sua comunità. Il vero coraggio è mantenere la propria integrità e insegnare ai più giovani che la dignità e il rispetto sono valori che vanno difesi ogni giorno.
/// Pino makes us reflect on how courage is expressed not only by heroic actions, but also through the choices made by ordinary people every day.
In order for us to understand how he has come to this conclusion, Pino tells us about some important moments in his life.
He grew up in a harsh environment: as a young man he experienced the tragedy of threats by ‘ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia.
After this, he decided to move to America, where he stayed for two years.
He came back in 1992, at the time of the mafia-organized killings, and was inspired by Paolo Borsellino’s quote:
“Those who are afraid die every day, those who are not die only once".
In that moment he decided to commit and stay in his own territory, opening a restaurant and refusing to pay a protection racket, despite death threats.
His courage is not the result of supernatural powers but the choice to do what is right.
Resisting organized crime groups and saying "no" has become an act of courage that has inspired his community.
True courage is maintaining one’s own integrity and teaching young people that dignity and respect are values to be defended every single day. Giuseppe Trimboli, conosciuto come Pino, nasce a Locri nel 1975 e cresce a Martone, un paese sulle colline della Locride. Nel 1990 lascia gli studi e si trasferisce negli USA. Rientra in Calabria nel 1992 e si dedica alla ristorazione, scoprendo la sua vera passione. Nel 1998 apre “La Collinetta”, un’osteria di cibo tipico calabrese a conduzione familiare, con l’obiettivo di valorizzare le tradizioni locali. Nel corso degli anni, l’attività di Giuseppe evolve, includendo anche la produzione agricola biologica e la creazione di prodotti a marchio proprio. Dal 2007 è socio di “Goel”, una cooperativa che si oppone attivamente alla ‘ndrangheta, e nel 2024 ha fondato “La terra dei Primi”, il primo orto sociale della Locride coltivato insieme a persone con disabilità. Ha ricevuto numerosi premi per il suo impegno culinario e sociale, tra cui il titolo di Ambasciatore della Dieta Mediterranea.

- 14:27We treat patients, not data | Jens Kleesiek | TEDxHelenen ParkIn this talk Jens Kleesiek argues that while medical data and AI can provide valuable insights in healthcare, it should not replace a human-centered approach towards patients. He distinguishes the opportunities AI presents for healthcare into workflow enhancements, such as efficiency improvements, and Medical Intelligence, the practice of utilizing data for personalized treatments. Despite the exciting potential of AI for healthcare, including the prospect of an AI personal health assistant, he stresses that data should support, not substitute, the crucial human relationship with the patient in healthcare. Jens Kleesiek is a full professor at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM) of the University Medical Center Essen in Germany. He studied medicine in Heidelberg, specializing in radiology and medical informatics. Jens also studied Bioinformatics and holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Hamburg. He spent several years in management positions developing medical software for consumers and healthcare professionals. At IKIM he's on the mission to bring AI algorithms into the clinic. To accomplish this 'code to clinic' approach, he and his team are working on modern cloud technologies, interoperable data structures, and cutting-edge AI methods.
