When AI remembers - Fueling the next intelligence revolution | Aditi Garg | TEDxBoston
This talk explores an overlooked dimension of today's AI conversation: the difference between intelligence and memory. Through the lens of a decades-long friendship, the talk illuminates AI's missing piece: the ability to maintain long-term context.AI, Big Data, Data, Emotions, Engineering, Innovation, Machine Learning, Memory, TechnologyWhile today's AI can analyze complex papers and compose symphonies, it starts fresh with every conversation, like having a brilliant colleague with amnesia. The speaker, who works at the intersection of AI and high-performance storage systems, exposes a fascinating paradox: our machines can think faster than ever, but they're held back by their inability to remember efficiently.The next leap in AI isn't about faster processing—it's about fundamentally rethinking how AI systems maintain and access their persistent memories or storage. This requires a shift in how we architect AI systems, bringing storage and processing closer together in ways that mirror human cognition. The result reshapes how AI systems maintain context across conversations, projects, and time—moving beyond today's powerful but forgetful systems toward ones that can learn and adapt from long-term experience.For anyone curious about AI's future, this talk reveals the infrastructure bottleneck we must solve to unlock the next wave of artificial intelligence. Aditi Garg leads development of the world’s fastest cloud storage solution at Amazon Web Services, powering AI workloads for thousands of global enterprises. A Columbia University graduate and former co-founder of Virimodo, a Techstars-funded AI platform, she has witnessed firsthand how storage bottlenecks can make or break the most ambitious AI projects. From her unique vantage point at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and enterprise infrastructure, Aditi has developed insights into the fundamental limitations holding back artificial intelligence—and the breakthroughs needed to overcome them.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 6:54The Invisible Power Shaping Our Spaces | Maysoon AlKhuraissat | TEDxDabouqIn this powerful and personal TEDx talk, architect and sustainability expert Maysoon Al-Khuraissat takes us on a journey through sunlight, its invisible yet transformative power in shaping how we live, heal, and thrive.From malls where daylight increases sales, to hospitals and classrooms where it accelerates recovery and improves learning. This talk highlights how natural light is not a luxury, but a human need.Maysoon shares lessons from growing up in sunlit Amman and studying in cloudy Chicago, revealing how our built environments often neglect this essential element. She dives into traditional architectural wisdom and modern tools, like daylight simulation, smart glazing, and responsive facades to show how we can design healthier, more energy-efficient spaces by putting the sun at the heart of every plan.Because true sustainability doesn’t start with high-tech solutions, it starts with how we place a window. Maysoon Al-Khuraissat is a sustainable architect, educator, and green building advisor with over 20 years of international experience in the built environment. She holds a Master’s degree in Architecture and has dedicated her career to advancing sustainability through both practice and education.In addition to her consultancy work, Maysoon is deeply involved in architectural education. She is an Industry Fellow at Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), where she integrates sustainability into academic curricula, bridging the gap between education and real-world application. A LEED Accredited Professional, USGBC Faculty, and IFC EDGE Faculty, she actively trains professionals and mentors emerging architects in sustainable design.
