👁Crisis support for the world, one text away
🧠Nancy Lublin
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣What if we could help people in crisis anytime, anywhere with a simple text message? That's the idea behind Crisis Text Line, a free 24-hour service that connects people in need with trained, volunteer crisis counselors -- "strangers helping strangers around the world, like a giant global love machine," as cofounder and former CEO Nancy Lublin puts it. Learn more about their big plans to expand to four new languages, providing a third of the globe with crucial, life-saving support. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

👁How AI could empower any business
🧠Andrew Ng
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Expensive to build and often needing highly skilled engineers to maintain, artificial intelligence systems generally only pay off for large tech companies with vast amounts of data. But what if your local pizza shop could use AI to predict which flavor would sell best each day of the week? Andrew Ng shares a vision for democratizing access to AI, empowering any business to make decisions that will increase their profit and productivity. Learn how we could build a richer society – all with just a few self-provided data points.

👁The incredible creativity of deepfakes -- and the worrying future of AI
🧠Tom Graham
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣AI-generated media that looks and sounds exactly like the real world will soon permeate our lives. How should we prepare for it? AI developer Tom Graham discusses the extraordinary power of this rapidly advancing technology, demoing cutting-edge examples -- including real-time face swaps and voice cloning -- live from the TED stage. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Graham digs into the creative potential of this hyperreal content (often referred to as "deepfakes") as well as its risk for exploitation and the new legal rights we'll need in order to maintain control over our photorealistic AI avatars.

👁The AI arsenal that could stop World War III
🧠Palmer Luckey
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣AI in warfare is no longer hypothetical; it's inevitable, says Palmer Luckey, an inventor and founder of the defense technology company Anduril Industries. He takes us inside the high-tech arms race to build AI-powered weapons, "killer robots" and autonomous fighter jets at scale — and makes the counterintuitive case for why this may be the surest path to deterrence and lasting peace.

👁A new type of medicine, custom-made with tiny proteins
🧠Chris Bahl
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Some common life-saving medicines, such as insulin, are made of proteins so large and fragile that they need to be injected instead of ingested as pills. But a new generation of medicine -- made from smaller, more durable proteins known as peptides -- is on its way. In a quick, informative talk, molecular engineer and TED Fellow Christopher Bahl explains how he's using computational design to create powerful peptides that could one day neutralize the flu, protect against botulism poisoning and even stop cancer cells from growing.

👁How exactly does binary code work?
🧠José Américano N L F de Freitas
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Imagine trying to use words to describe every scene in a film, every note in a song, or every street in your town. Now imagine trying to do it using only the numbers 1 and 0. Every time you use the Internet to watch a movie, listen to music, or check directions, that's exactly what your device is doing, using the language of binary code. José Américo N L F de Freitas explains how binary works. [TED-Ed Animation by Qa'ed Mai]

👁AI won't plateau — if we give it time to think
🧠Noam Brown
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣To get smarter, traditional AI models rely on exponential increases in the scale of data and computing power. Noam Brown, a leading research scientist at OpenAI, presents a potentially transformative shift in this paradigm. He reveals his work on OpenAI's new o1 model, which focuses on slower, more deliberate reasoning — much like how humans think — in order to solve complex problems.

👁A life-saving invention that prevents human stampedes
🧠Nilay Kulkarni
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Every three years, more than 30 million Hindu worshippers gather for the Kumbh Mela in India, the world's largest religious gathering, in order to wash away their sins.
