Should we try to get rid of pain? When we go through painful moments, they are not only about suffering; they can become an opportunity to reconnect with our values. In this talk, Seda explores how pain can be reinterpreted as a way to rediscover the meaning of life and our sense of self. Seda Seyranyan is a psychologist specializing in personality development, counseling, and inclusive education. Since completing her Master’s in Personality Psychology and Counseling in 2014, she has worked in schools supporting teachers, students—including those with special educational needs—and parents, while also maintaining a private practice with adults. Since 2020, she has been involved as a trainer with four organizations accredited by Armenia’s Ministry of Education, delivering courses on psychology, inclusion, and education law for teachers and education leadership candidates. Seda continues to participate in professional development programs and workshops. Her key areas of interest include trauma recovery mechanisms, existential psychology, and the ongoing, healthy development of the individual as a path to healing and self-discovery.

What happens when AI feels more emotionally present than the humans around us? Through an unexpected relationship with a chatbot, tech leader Minea Moore reveals why we’re choosing artificial comfort over real connection—and what it costs us. This talk is a bold invitation to rediscover the unfiltered, deeply human parts of ourselves that no machine can replace. Minea Moore is a tech executive who became a mother at 19 and has spent her career designing systems that drive growth, equity, and opportunity. Her global career spans hardware, semiconductors, and software—with a recent focus on preparing today's workforce for an AI-augmented world. But her most personal insight came through an unexpected relationship with AI, when she realized she felt safer being vulnerable with an algorithm than with actual humans. That revelation sparked her exploration of a critical question: As AI becomes more human, are we becoming more artificial? Known for blending strategy with authenticity, Minea brings lived experience and bold honesty to every conversation. Her TEDx talk explores why we're drawn to comfortable isolation over real connection—and introduces a practice for reclaiming our humanity in an AI world.
