What If an AI Could Understand You Better Than You Can? | Salma Dias Saraswati | TEDxUNDIP
This talk explores how our minds run on invisible algorithms patterns of thought and emotion shaped by past experiences and asks what might happen if artificial intelligence could help us see them clearly. It invites the audience to imagine a world where technology becomes a mirror, revealing the hidden patterns that drive our reactions, anxieties, and self-perception. By combining AI tools with honest self-inquiry, the talk challenges us to question whether we really know ourselves and to consider how understanding our mental algorithms could set us free to live with more awareness, courage, and authenticity. Salma is a psychologist and the CEO of Tenang AI, a mental health startup focusing on Generation Z in Southeast Asia. Formerly a psychology lecturer, she transitioned into entrepreneurship to address the lack of accessible and preventive mental health support. Through Tenang AI, she developed an empathetic AI companion to support emotional well-being. Her work has empowered thousands of young people to seek help earlier, reduce stigma, and build healthier mental habits. She has participated in international accelerator programs and was named LinkedIn Top Voice 2023 in technology and mental health.

- 19:06The Heartbeat of the World ! | The Mode . | TEDxMaviliSquareΑν η μουσική ήταν ταινία, το soundtrack θα είχε την υπογραφή τους.Οι The Mode δεν παίζουν απλώς μουσική — πλέκουν πολιτισμούς, εποχές και παλμούς σε ένα mashup που σε κάνει να θες να χορέψεις, να σκεφτείς και να χαθείς.Με το project KOSMOS, μας ταξιδεύουν από τον ηλεκτρονικό παλμό του σήμερα, στις μυστικές μουσικές του χθες. Γιατί κάπου ανάμεσα στο παλιό και το νέο, στον θόρυβο και τη σιωπή… εκεί χτυπά η καρδιά του κόσμου.Ακούστε. Νιώστε. Αφεθείτε στο ρυθμό.#TEDxMaviliSquare #TheModeLive #KosmosProject #ElectronicFusion #MusicWithMeaning #GlobalBeats #TraditionMeetsTech #SoundtrackOfOurWorld #TEDxPerformance #CulturalMashup #MusicThatMoves #FromSilenceToSound #HeartOfTheWorld #GreekMusicScene #FusionVibes.
