The secret to staying connected in an AI world | Nipun Mehta | TEDxFargo

From algorithms that anticipate our desires to systems shaping our attention, AI is changing the way we live. Nipun explores how to stay "hungry for the human" by finding connection, curiosity, and purpose in an increasingly automated world. Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, a global community working at the intersection of technology, volunteerism and a gift culture. As a designer of large-scale social movements that are rooted in small acts of service and powered by micro moments of inner transformation, his work has uniquely catalyzed networks of community builders grounded in their localities and rooted cultivating deeper connection.ServiceSpace reaches millions every month, is powered by thousands of volunteers, and blossoms into ever-expanding local and virtual service projects that aim to ignite a "whole great than the sum of its parts". Nipun was honored as an "unsung hero of compassion" by the Dalai Lama, and former U.S. President Obama appointed him to a council for addressing poverty and inequality in the US. At the core of what strikes anyone who meets him is the way he attempts to bring smiles in the world and silence in his heart: "I want to live simply, love purely, and give fearlessly. That's me." 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
