👁What a digital government looks like
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣What if you never had to fill out paperwork again? In Estonia, this is a reality: citizens conduct nearly all public services online, from starting a business to voting from their laptops, thanks to the nation's ambitious post-Soviet digital transformation known as \"e-Estonia.\" One of the program's experts, Anna Piperal, explains the key design principles that power the country's \"e-government\" -- and shows why the rest of the world should follow suit to eradicate outdated bureaucracy and regain citizens' trust.

👁The method that can "prove" almost anything
🧠James A. Smith
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 2011, a group of researchers conducted a study designed to find an impossible result. Their study involved real people, truthfully reported data, and commonplace statistical analyses. So how did they do it? The answer lies in a statistical method scientists often use to try to figure out whether their results mean something, or if they're random noise. James A. Smith explores p-hacking. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁Inside the massive (and unregulated) world of surveillance tech
🧠Sharon Weinberger
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣What is a weapon in the Information Age? From microscopic "smart dust" tracking devices to DNA-tracing tech and advanced facial recognition software, journalist Sharon Weinberger leads a hair-raising tour through the global, unregulated bazaar of privatized mass surveillance. To rein in this growing, multibillion-dollar marketplace that often caters to customers with nefarious intents, Weinberger believes the first step is for governments to classify surveillance tools as dangerous and powerful weapons.

👁What we miss when we focus on the average
🧠Mona Chalabi
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

🧠Olivia Vinckier
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Have you ever been forced to limit your identity to a single box on an application, survey or census questionnaire? For many, it is a futile and overall outdated exercise, especially for those with multiracial and multi-ethnic backgrounds. Olivia Vinckier makes the case for recognizing and accepting, rather than limiting, the growing reality that identity is multifaceted, ever-expanding -- and more colorful than you think.

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

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.
