Long before taking the stage, Ahan Singh noticed a subtle change in his classroom: students were outsourcing more, thinking less. In this powerful talk, he explores how over reliance on Artificial Intelligence threatens creativity, individuality, and the messy, meaningful process of learning. With humor, insight, and the unforgettable analogy of “cavemen with AI”, Ahan challenges us to rethink the role of technology in education and beyond. Instead of letting AI define how we think, he argues, we must preserve the struggle, curiosity, and discovery that fuel creativity. His timeless reminder: our greatest strength lies not in fast answers, but in daring to wonder and discover for ourselves. Ahan is a rising 10th grader with a strong passion for artificial intelligence and its ability to positively transform how people learn and interact with the world around them. From a young age, he has been curious about the relationship between technology and human. Ahan also enjoys art, writing, and finding ways to share ideas that spark thoughtful conversations within his community. He enjoys using his voice to advocate for responsible learning and he hopes to help build a future where AI is used to improve human potential. 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
