TEDxKNUST

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together.

18. Let's create more imaginative cities by building on new technologies and local history, instead of just rolling out global monoculture cities designed for needs of automobiles, not people. @VishaanNYC #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

17. The art on display at the annual Burning Man festival may offer a clue to the future of human creativity. It's wildly imaginative, stunningly ambitious, and powerfully collaborative. Nora Atkinson #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

If change-makers are encouraged to make truly bold plans, they're capable of transformative change. The spectacular growth in the impact achieved by @OneAcreFund proves it. Let's dream bigger! #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

.@GirlTrek has inspired 100,000 African American women to walk together — for health, and for community. What if they could grow that 10x? You'd have an unstoppable movement for change. Let's back them! #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

A surprisingly large proportion of the greenhouse gas effect comes from methane. But new technology allows us to spot methane leaks from space. Let's launch a satellite to do this! This single project could cut global warming by 10%. @FredKrupp #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

Trachoma is an agonizing way to go blind & has plagued us for thousands of years, impacting millions. But we know how to end it. So let's do it. Here's a plan to eliminate it from 12 more countries, en route to totally vanquishing it. @CarolineAHarper #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

Much of the world's biomass exists in the ocean depths, too dark and dangerous for us to explore. New tech is changing that. Let's launch a major scientific research project to understand the alien world down there. Our future could depend on it. @WHOI #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

Let's create a national bail fund to prevent the shocking injustice of a system in which thousands of unconvicted citizens go to jail and see their lives fall apart, just because they're too poor to pay bail. @bailproject #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

A plan to empower community health workers worldwide has dramatically scaled thanks to bold support from visionary donors. @rajpanjabi #AudaciousProject #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

If you can find ideas both thrillingly bold AND with a credible path to execution, donors will pool major resources to fund them. This is a powerful new model for change. #TED2018 #Audacious

16. Reusable rocketry is opening up astonishing possibilities including, within a decade, travel to the other side of the world in just an hour via space. Mars beckons. @SpaceX #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

15. Sick of remembering passwords? You may be able to secure your future digital identity by wearing a ring that knows your fingerprints and can securely connect to all your devices and websites. @melshapiro #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

14. A camera that uses software to blend 16 different lenses can create images of astonishing resolution and depth. From a snatched crowd scene, you can zoom in to read the time on someone's watch. Or convert into 3D. @TheLightCo #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

13. We have so much to learn from the octopus! Most of our robots have hard surfaces, but if we built soft robots, inspired by nature, we could enable much better, safer interaction with ourselves and the world. Giada Gerboni #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

12. It's possible to turn any human into a digital model that looks + sounds exactly like them + can be programmed to say anything. Scary, but w/ the individual's approval, this will allow an explosion of creativity + amplification of great voices. Supasorn Suwajanakorn #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

11. Wifi signals can bounce chaotically off a human body. Wifi devices + machine learning can therefore track people's movements through walls. Amazing to see. Both good and bad uses! Dina Katabi #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

10. In creating AI, we're birthing a new form of life with unlimited potential for good or ill. It's truly urgent that we begin imagining different AI futures so that we can build the one we want. We only have one shot at this. @tegmark #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

9. It's crazy that we still measure progress by GDP. We should distinguish physical production, which must be managed within sustainable boundaries, from dematerialized growth. Yes to creativity and renewal. No to unlimited consumption! @KateRaworth #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

8. A new generation of bio-sensors + machine learning can figure out our internal mental states and emotions. This could allow technology to be empathetic, to know our needs. What could possibly go wrong? ;-) @poppycrum #TED2018

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

7. Fascism makes you see yourself and your country as the most beautiful, important things in the world. That's why it is dangerous. But the past won't come back in the same form. Dictatorships of the future will be built on control of data. Beware. @harari_yuval #TED2018
