Beyond Planning: Start Strategizing Your LifeOur life is the most valuable asset - worth more than any company. Yet while enterprises invest great efforts in strategic frameworks to optimize performance, we treat our precious lives with scattered planning and hope. What if we could unlock our life's full potential using the same systematic thinking that transforms organizations? This talk reveals how we can elevate our life quality through proven enterprise frameworks: strategic visioning that clarifies our purpose, capability assessment that maximizes our strengths, operating model design that structures our daily excellence, and performance measurement that accelerates our growth. The semantic connection is transformational - if strategic planning can build billion-dollar enterprises, imagine what it can do for our one irreplaceable lives. By adding structure and tools to personal development, we create the same clarity, momentum, and extraordinary results that drive organizational success. This isn't about perfection - it's about unleashing our life's highest potential through systematic excellence. Our lives deserve enterprise-level strategic planning and execution. Faisal Al-Somaani, Transformation and Growth Consultant
Founder of “Garajna”, with 25 years of experience working with both local and international companies. He developed a unique methodology that links business strategies with personal development, empowering individuals and organizations to achieve systematic growth.

- 17:11Are we even prepared for a sentient AI? | Jeff Sebo | TEDxNewEnglandWill AI systems ever become sentient? How should we treat them if we feel uncertain? The prospect of AI systems possessing their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions is no longer an issue confined to science fiction or the distant future. There is a realistic possibility that some AI systems will soon have these capacities, and we should start developing an ethical framework to address this issue now, so that we can be prepared if and when the time comes. This talk was presented on September 25, 2024.Jeff is an associate professor of environmental studies, an affiliated professor of bioethics, medical ethics, philosophy, and law, the director of the center for environmental and animal protection, and the director of the center for mind, ethics, and policy at New York University.

- 15:59What is it like to be a machine? | Tamas Vinko | TEDxUniversityCollegeRooseveltArtificial Intelligence (AI) is hands down one of the most attractive computer science topics nowadays. Generative models are used every day by the general public, mostly for fun, sometimes for cheating and other times for profit. To talk about AI, first we need to clarify its definition, which is the easy part of the story. Its connection to consciousness is much more difficult to deal with.
