How to End the Climate Crisis by 2050 | Peter Fiekowsky, Ph.D. | TEDxTaftAvenue
NOTE FROM TED: Ocean iron fertilization remains criticized by experts working in this field who have expressed concerns about its environmental impacts. This talk only represents the speaker's personal approach to and understanding of carbon sequestration which warrants further scientific investigation. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfPeter Fiekowsky's talk about a viable solution for global warming is very good news indeed. Nature shared the secret decades ago but are we ready to listen? Peter Fiekowsky is an MIT-educated physicist and engineer, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, social innovator, and author. He has worked at NASA and the Fairchild/ Schlumberger Artificial Intelligence Lab in Palo Alto; taught at MIT; and developed his own machine vision company, Automated Visual Inspection LLC (AVI). He holds 27 patents.
A decade ago, when it became clear that global warming would endanger the future for all of us, Fiekowsky turned his energies to restoring a climate that will instead promote the flourishing of humanity as well as Earth’s current ecosystems. He launched the Foundation for Climate Restoration in 2017 to work with top scientists, innovators, policymakers, and others, to create the understanding and policy needed to further climate restoration, and served as its Board Chairman until 2020.

- 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.
