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. 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
