Solve Your FOMO Trait by Living Like a Product | Arvin Zulfikar | TEDxTelkom University
This talk explores how students can overcome FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and shift their focus from chasing external validation to building true personal growth by “living like a product.” Through relatable examples of different student paths, the speaker emphasizes that growth is not about joining endless organizations, winning competitions, or stacking up achievements, but about intentionally developing skills, values, and features that align with one’s life goals. Using the RISA framework (Relevance, Innovation, Strategy, Adaptability), the talk encourages the audience to understand their context, choose the right processes, and commit to a timeline that fits their energy and purpose. Drawing from personal experience — from being a freshman with clear goals, to graduating in 3.5 years, winning awards, and earning a scholarship abroad — the speaker shows how rejecting FOMO leads to sustainable growth. Ultimately, the talk challenges the audience with a powerful closing question: “What kind of product do you want to become?” a lifelong learner and the kind of speaker who doesn’t just talk change, he lives it. From leading Bank Indonesia scholarship movements to initiating impactful student training, Arvin embodies what it means to serve through knowledge. On our stage, he’ll unravel a narrative about trusting yourself in silence, adapting like a product, but never compromising your core. His journey? It’s a lesson in sociology and selfhood all at once. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 13:28AI & The Future: Shaping Tomorrow Innovation | Gamma Kosala | TEDxTelkom UniversityThis talk explores how Artificial Intelligence can transform public safety by turning ordinary CCTV cameras into intelligent systems that detect threats before they escalate. Through computer vision trained on real-world patterns, AI can identify gang-related activity, unusual group behavior, or suspicious actions in public spaces—not by judging appearances, but by recognizing behavioral cues. Rather than replacing human judgment, these systems provide real-time alerts that empower authorities and communities to act faster while respecting privacy and regulations. The speaker calls for courage, collaboration, and experimentation to harness AI responsibly, envisioning a future where technology helps us not only live more efficiently, but also return home each night with greater peace of mind. A mind quietly crafting breakthroughs in the world of AI. From classrooms to global recognition and he’s been weaving the future. But what makes him stand out isn’t just the research, it’s the story he tells through it.
