Resilience : Exploring the Human Experience | Sankari Sudhar | TEDxSIST
Is resilience only for the brave and bold? Sankari, founder of Overqualified Housewives, redefines resilience through the lives of everyday women reclaiming their futures. In this heartfelt talk, she shares the journeys of three women—each rising from personal setbacks with quiet strength. From overcoming career gaps and escaping abuse, to finding independence after loss, their stories reveal a powerful truth: resilience isn’t about glory or grandeur—it’s about choosing to rise, again and again. This talk is a tribute to the unsung strength that lives in ordinary lives and everyday decisions. Sankari Sudhar is the founder of Overqualified Housewives, a platform empowering over 33,000 women to reconnect with their careers. An MIT graduate and former multinational professional, Sankari uses her engineering expertise to create opportunities for women worldwide. Her work bridges gaps in talent and community, showcasing resilience through innovation and empowerment.

- 18:27The Reversed Evolution of AI | ALBERTO MATTIELLO | TEDxAsiagoNOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of the brain. Theories discussed in this talk around the reptilian brain lack legitimate scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfAlberto Mattiello talks about how the human-machine relationship is the key to the future of humanity: understanding it means evolving. Starting from the three human brains – reptile (instinct), Libycus (emotions) and Cortex (reason) – he will explore how machines are following a similar but inverse path: from the intellect of language systems to the empathy of affective computing, up to the physicality of robotics. This journey reveals not only risks and biases, but above all the opportunities of a world where every technology will have a personality, transforming the way we live and work.
