I also believe that in order to be relevant in the rapidly changing world, one needs to start with customer use cases, understand deeper technology trends and be able to think outside of the box (clean-sheet approach). Outside of technology, I love cooking vegetarian meals with my family and enjoy macrobiotic way of lifestyle, as it helps make our world a much healthier and a more sustainable place.

- 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.
