The Trauma-Informed Reset: Transforming Wounds into Resilience | Alia Diab | TEDxUAS Kuwait Youth
When someone experiences something traumatic, they must learn to either cope with the memories and live with the emotions until their mind presses a button. A button that resets everything. That throws away all the emotional baggage and forces them to forget and start over from the beginning.
Alia is a student at the Universal American School Kuwait and a TEDxYouth UAS Kuwait speaker with a passion for learning and growth. She is thrilled to be part of this event, eager to explore new ideas, develop her skills, and share insights that inspire others. Alia sees TEDx as a unique opportunity to open doors to new experiences that go beyond high school, into college and adulthood, all while making a meaningful impact through her voice and perspective. 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

- 12:30What if AI can help us fight organized crime and corruption? | Gian Maria Campedelli | TEDxGenevaOrganized crime undermines democracy and economic development across the globe. According to a recent report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, 80% of the world’s population lives in countries with a high presence of criminal organizations. When these organizations grow through corruption, fighting them becomes even more difficult.In this talk, computational criminologist Gian Maria Campedelli introduces a new approach that uses open data and machine learning to predict where—and when—criminal organizations in Italy are likely to infiltrate local governments. By revealing both the promises and the pitfalls of applying AI to the fight against corruption and organized crime, he invites us to imagine how modern technologies can empower citizens and help build a safer, fairer society. Gian Maria Campedelli is a Research Scientist at Fondazione Bruno Kessler and an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Research at the University of Trento, Italy. He earned his Ph.D. in Criminology from Università Cattolica in Milan in 2020 and received the Early Career Award from the European Society of Criminology in 2023. His research focuses on developing computational methods to study complex criminal phenomena. His interests include organized crime, corruption, violence, urban crime, and the risks associated with the emerging collective behavior of AI agents. He has published extensively in high-profile journals, including Science, and his work has been featured in outlets such as the Financial Times, The Guardian, The Economist, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times.

- 14:22Considérations sur les peuples premiers des Antilles | Henry PETITJEAN ROGET | TEDxPointeaPitreIl avait réalisé que l'histoire des peuples indigènes des Antilles était en fait très mal connue du grand public et même des descendants avérés des Kalinagos des Petites Antilles et des Taïnos des Grandes Antilles. Pour cette raison, en accord avec l'organisation de l'évènement, nous avons opté pour un bref entretien basé sur une question et sa réponse. Notre but a consisté à structurer un bref discours pour transmettre des connaissances et réaliser l'importance de l'héritage culturel de ces peuples aux cultures traditionnelles antillaises. Son intérêt pour le passé indigène de la Martinique, puis plus tard, pour celui des Antilles, trouve ses origines dans la classe de Sciences naturelles du révérend Père Pinchon, l'un des fondateurs de l'archéologie des petites Antilles. Ses travaux ont particulièrement porté sur l'art céramique et l'art rupestre des peuples autochtones céramistes des petites et des grandes Antilles et leurs rapports avec ce que nous savons de leurs mythologies. Il travaille actuellement à une synthèse de ses travaux sur les Kalinagos, destinée à être publiée en anglais. Enfin, sa passion pour la transmission de savoirs l'a amené à écrire des contes pour enfants et adolescents.
