You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris \u2014 and not just in some theoretical way. We&#8217;re going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven&#8217;t yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dph6ynRVyUc\" width=\"760\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Jennifer Kahn<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Gene editing can now change an entire species &#8212; forever<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">CRISPR gene drives allow scientists to change sequences of DNA and guarantee that the resulting edited genetic trait is inherited by future generations, opening up the possibility of altering entire species forever. More than anything, the technology has led to questions: How will this new power affect humanity? What are we going to use it to change? Are we gods now? Join journalist Jennifer Kahn as she ponders these questions and shares a potentially powerful application of gene drives: the development of disease-resistant mosquitoes that could knock out malaria and Zika.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Jamila Raqib<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The secret to effective nonviolent resistance<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">We&#8217;re not going to end violence by telling people that it&#8217;s morally wrong, says Jamila Raqib, executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution. Instead, we must find alternative ways to conduct conflict that are equally powerful and effective. Raqib promotes nonviolent resistance to people living under tyranny \u2014 and there&#8217;s a lot more to it than street protests. She shares encouraging examples of creative strategies that have led to change around the world and a message of hope for a future without armed conflict. &#8220;The greatest hope for humanity lies not in condemning violence but in making violence obsolete,&#8221; Raqib says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Alexander Betts<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Our refugee system is failing. Here&#8217;s how we can fix it<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">A million refugees arrived in Europe this year, says Alexander Betts, and &#8220;our response, frankly, has been pathetic.&#8221; Betts studies forced migration, the impossible choice for families between the camps, urban poverty and dangerous illegal journeys to safety. In this insightful talk, he offers four ways to change the way we treat refugees, so they can make an immediate contribution to their new homes. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing inevitable about refugees being a cost,&#8221; Betts says. &#8220;They&#8217;re human beings with skills, talents, aspirations, with the ability to make contributions \u2014 if we let them.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><em><strong>Adam Foss<\/strong><\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><em><strong>A prosecutor&#8217;s vision for a better justice system<\/strong><\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">When a kid commits a crime, the US justice system has a choice: prosecute to the full extent of the law, or take a step back and ask if saddling young people with criminal records is the right thing to do every time. In this searching talk, Adam Foss, a prosecutor with the Suffolk County District Attorney&#8217;s Office in Boston, makes his case for a reformed justice system that replaces wrath with opportunity, changing people&#8217;s lives for the better instead of ruining them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Dalia Mogahed<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">What do you think when you look at me?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">When you look at Muslim scholar Dalia Mogahed, what do you see: a woman of faith? a scholar, a mom, a sister? or an oppressed, brainwashed, potential terrorist? In this personal, powerful talk, Mogahed asks us, in this polarizing time, to fight negative perceptions of her faith in the media \u2014 and to choose empathy over prejudice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Tim Urban<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Inside the mind of a master procrastinator<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn&#8217;t make sense, but he&#8217;s never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. In this hilarious and insightful talk, Urban takes us on a journey through YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and bouts of staring out the window \u2014 and encourages us to think harder about what we&#8217;re really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Allan Adams<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">What the discovery of gravitational waves means<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">More than a billion years ago, two black holes in a distant galaxy locked into a spiral, falling inexorably toward each other, and collided. &#8220;All that energy was pumped into the fabric of time and space itself,&#8221; says theoretical physicist Allan Adams, &#8220;making the universe explode in roiling waves of gravity.&#8221; About 25 years ago, a group of scientists built a giant laser detector called LIGO to search for these kinds of waves, which had been predicted but never observed. In this mind-bending talk, Adams breaks down what happened when, in September 2015, LIGO detected an unthinkably small anomaly, leading to one of the most exciting discoveries in the history of physics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Kenneth Lacovara<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Hunting for dinosaurs showed me our place in the universe<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">What happens when you discover a dinosaur? Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara details his unearthing of Dreadnoughtus \u2014 a 77-million-year-old sauropod that was as tall as a two-story house and as heavy as a jumbo jet \u2014 and considers how amazingly improbable it is that a tiny mammal living in the cracks of the dinosaur world could evolve into a sentient being capable of understanding these magnificent creatures. Join him in a celebration of the Earth&#8217;s geological history and contemplate our place in deep time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Camille A.

African-American social dances started as a way for enslaved Africans to keep cultural traditions alive and retain a sense of inner freedom. They remain an affirmation of identity and independence. In this electric demonstration, packed with live performances, choreographer, educator and TED Fellow Camille A. Brown explores what happens when communities let loose and express themselves by dancing together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>https:\/\/www.ted.com\/<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Harris Can we build AI without losing control over it?
