Ottimisti e controcorrente | Pierpaolo D'Odorico | TEDxPolitecnico di Torino
In questo Talk, Pierpaolo D'Odorico, imprenditore e divulgatore, ci accompagna in una riflessione profonda e sorprendente: gli eventi davvero importanti, quelli che cambiano il nostro percorso di vita, sono pochissimi… e non possiamo controllarli.Non esiste un algoritmo capace di prevedere chi incontreremo, quali scelte ci porteranno al cambiamento o quali situazioni ci rivoluzioneranno la vita. La nostra esistenza è un caos, e il nostro unico vero talento è saper dare un senso a quel caos, un significato dopo che i fatti sono accaduti.Pierpaolo ci racconta come anche le reti neurali artificiali — quelle che stanno alla base dell’intelligenza artificiale — imparano non perché sanno già cosa fare, ma perché sbagliano, facendo tentativi casuali e imparando dagli errori, escludendoli man mano fino a trovare la strada giusta.E proprio come negli algoritmi, anche nella vita reale ci sono scommesse positive e negative. Decisioni che, a prescindere dal risultato, non portano rischi catastrofici ma aprono possibilità.Da qui nasce la sua scommessa positiva: la creazione di Datapizza, un progetto lanciato con un amico all’università. Nessuna certezza, nessun piano perfetto, solo il desiderio di creare qualcosa di valore, sapendo che il peggio che poteva succedere era… imparare qualcosa di nuovo. Pierpaolo D'Odorico is the Co-Founder and CEO of Datapizza, the Italian tech community that brings together over 500,000 professionals and innovators in the fields of software and artificial intelligence.
With a strong background in Data Science and Machine Learning, Pierpaolo has led Datapizza in developing high-impact projects with major Italian companies, fostering AI transformation and creating tailored training and recruitment programs in the tech sector.

- 12:24"Dançando no Escuro" - Uma Performance | Cia Movin | TEDxBlumenauThe performance brings to movement the sensations of those who live in darkness and invites the audience to experience dancing in the dark — taking risks, embracing uncertainty, moving forward despite fear, and letting go of external judgments.A collaboration between the Cia MovIn dance company, the band LOCA, and ACEVALI (Association of the Blind of Vale do Itajaí). Under the artistic direction of Agustina Videla (AR), was founded in 2019 and was born from the desire to collectively explore the development of movement dynamics in dance in its broadest form — including contemporary, urban, and breaking styles — through dialogue with other artistic languages, such as photography, visual arts, and theater.Also in 2019, the group received the Elisabete Anderle Award for Cultural Promotion in Santa Catarina, Brazil, with a proposal focused on research and experimentation.After the premiere of its first performance, [In]fixo, in 2022, the company has been gaining recognition within the contemporary dance scene of Blumenau and the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. It has since been selected in several public calls for proposals involving research, touring, performance production, and dance film projects.
