Coordonatoare Law-Z, primul Al educațional beta din România, și autoare a unei cercetări despre educație și opinie politică, Alina crede cu tărie că gândirea critică este cel mai puternic scut împotriva manipulării. Prin proiectele sale, aduce analiza juridică și alfabetizarea civică mai aproape de tineri, formând cetățeni informați și responsabili. Cât de mult ne poate schimba o întrebare? Pornind de la povestea lui Socrate, acest talk ne arată de ce gândirea critică și curajul de a pune întrebări sunt fundamentale într-o lume plină de manipulare și informații distorsionate. Vorbitorul ne provoacă să regândim educația să transformăm orele din simple prelegeri în conversații reale, unde elevii învață să gândească singuri. Prin propria experiență, aflăm că o singură întrebare sinceră „Ce cred eu cu adevărat?” poate schimba nu doar modul în care învățăm, ci și felul în care trăim și alegem. Coordonează Law-Z, primul program educațional de tip inteligență artificială beta din România, destinat elevilor.

- 13:57Precisamos falar sobre a morte | Andreas Kisser | TEDxJundiaíAndreas Kisser compartilha uma reflexão íntima sobre cuidados paliativos e dignidade no fim da vida. A inspiração vem de sua vivência pessoal: ao acompanhar a luta de sua esposa, Patrícia, contra o câncer, deparou-se com os desafios enfrentados por pacientes em situação terminal. Dessa experiência nasceu o "Mãetrícia", movimento criado em sua memória, que transformou luto em luta. Além disso, Andreas é membro fundador do "Eu Decido", iniciativa que defende o direito de cada pessoa fazer escolhas conscientes sobre seus cuidados no fim da vida. A morte é um fato natural, mas no Brasil morrer com dignidade ainda é um privilégio. Enquanto muitos encaram a doença como castigo e a morte como fracasso, Patrícia e a família Perissinotto Kisser nos lembram que a vida se completa na morte – e que a verdadeira imortalidade está em espalhar sementes de amor e cuidado no mundo. Andreas Kisser é músico, compositor e guitarrista reconhecido internacionalmente pelo Sepultura e outros projetos musicais. Nos últimos anos, tem usado sua visibilidade para ampliar a discussão sobre cuidados paliativos e dignidade no fim da vida, unindo sua trajetória pessoal ao desejo de abrir espaço para temas essenciais na sociedade.

He also discusses leveraging the "Butterfly Effect" for massive returns from small, consistent actions. Manav Gupta is a 3x Kaggle Expert, AI Educator, and Founder of Pluto Labs, where he builds real-world AI solutions that impact thousands — from tools for the visually impaired to mental health platforms.
