Sophomore Emmet Stitely stands in his teen shoes, on the sidelines of the AI revolution, and wonders about the rules of this new technology. “All my friends are using it,” he says. “So should I?” At 16, Stitely sees the costs of asking a program to write a paper or solve his math problems. Using research and perspectives from both sides of this debate, Stitely explores the unprecedented time he and his classmates find themselves navigating. Emmet Stitely gave this talk as a sophomore at Chatham High School. He plays varsity volleyball and varsity soccer, as well as participates in a handful of school clubs. After seeing his soccer teammate do the TedX event, he knew it was what he wanted to do because of his passion for creative writing and public speaking. When Emmet is not playing a sport or grinding out homework, you can find him spending time with his close-knit friend group and lifeguarding at the pool.

- 13:48Ingegneria Relazionale: il Potere degli Incontri Dispari | Oscar Dalvit | TEDxTursiViviamo in un’epoca in cui la tecnologia sembra aver preso il posto delle relazioni. Eppure, è proprio la tecnologia – se usata nel modo giusto – a poterci riportare al centro. In questo intervento, Oscar Dalvit racconta il suo percorso: da ragazzo appassionato di computer a imprenditore che ha deciso di mettere la tecnologia al servizio delle persone. Nasce così, con la sua azienda Segnalazione Vincente, quella che chiama l’Ingegneria Relazionale dei Dispari: un approccio che unisce intelligenza artificiale e relazioni umane per creare incontri professionali significativi. Ma c’è un’idea ancora più profonda: il valore degli incontri tra Dispari. Troppo spesso ci circondiamo di persone simili a noi, i gruppi di “pari”, ma è dalla differenza – tra mondi, linguaggi, esperienze – che nascono le connessioni piu’ efficienti. Nel suo lavoro con centinaia di aziende, Oscar ha visto che l’incontro tra un’impresa strutturata e un ambizioso libero professionista, tra un imprenditore e un talentuoso agente, può generare opportunità concrete, fiducia e collaborazione vera in tempi molto più rapidi, proprio sfruttando la velocità del “dispari”. La tecnologia in questo processo non allontana, ma facilita. Non sostituisce, ma connette. Aiuta a far incontrare le persone giuste e riporta al centro il fattore umano. Un intervento che non parla solo di marketing o di business, ma di una nuova possibilità: usare il digitale per tornare umani, valorizzare i piccoli, per costruire un mondo migliore. E ricordarci che, anche nel 2025, tutto può ancora iniziare da una stretta di mano, di quelle “dispari”, di quelle che non ti aspetti. Oscar Dalvit è imprenditore, formatore e uno dei massimi esperti italiani di Ingegneria Relazionale dei Dispari. È il fondatore di www.segnalazionevincente.com e della Rete www.retesegnalatori.com, un ecosistema innovativo che ha già aiutato centinaia di aziende a crescere attraverso il potere delle relazioni e delle referenze. E’ presidente del pubblico registro dei Segnalatori di Opportunita presso il Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy. E’ stato premiato alla Borsa di Milano come Rising Star del Marketing Relazionale. Autore del libro bestseller “Segnalazione Vincente”, Oscar unisce il rigore della tecnologia con la potenza delle connessioni umane, rendendo scalabile il passaparola d’affari tramite intelligenza artificiale AIRA© . E’ ideatore di www.forumconnections.com , il piu’ grande evento dal vivo di speed meeting business d’Italia, gestito con l’intelligenza artificiale e che promuove incontri per sviluppare sinergie tra dispari (aziende con professionisti) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
