TED: Ett fritt och öppet nät gynnar alla
Without the internet, how would you have coped with the pandemic — from work and school, to maintaining your closest relationships? In the digital age, reliance on the internet is so common and seems ubiquitous, yet billions of people worldwide still go without it.
Digital transformation strategist Priscilla Chomba-Kinywa advocates for collective access to the opportunities and potential the internet provides, underscoring the necessity of free and fair digital rights for all.
Lästipset: Mannen hon levde med var gift, polis och hemligt agent
När Kate Wilson var 23 år gammal så träffade hon den flera år äldre Mark Stone som delade hennes miljöengagemang. Kate Wilson var aktivist, trodde inte på att marknaden och kapitalismen skulle kunna rädda världen.
Mark Stone blev hennes vän och de levde tillsammans i över två år och förblev goda vänner även efter det att de flytta isär – tills bomben briserade i rörelsen. Mark Stone som arbetat inom olika grupper i närmare tio år hade levt ett dubbelliv hela tiden. Han var gift, hette egentligen Kennedy i efternamn och han var polis med uppgift att kartlägga enskilda individer inom miljörörelsen.
Täckmantel
Under sina år då Mark Kennedy jobbade under täckmantel så hade han förhållanden med en rad kvinnor, delade deras innersta tankar och avancerade till ledarpositioner samtidigt som han kartlade hela rörelsen och enskilda.
Until the day he was “outed” by a small group of sleuthing activists, Kennedy was a trusted leader in a movement that was desperately trying to wake up Britain and the world to the impending horrors of the climate emergency. But his friends, comrades, and at least 10 other women he had sex with had no idea Kennedy was selling them out to governments and corporations that had a vested interest in keeping the country hooked on fossil fuels.
This wasn’t just a personal betrayal. “He was controlling people’s ability to organize politically,” Wilson told VICE World News. “That is profoundly anti-democratic.”
TED: Därför tar stora ledare humor på allvar
There’s a mistaken belief in today’s working world that leaders need to be serious all the time to be taken seriously. The research tells a different story. Based on the course they teach at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, behavioral scientist Jennifer Aaker and corporate strategist Naomi Bagdonas delve into the surprising power of humor: why it’s a secret weapon to build bonds, power, creativity and resilience — and how we can all have more of it.
TED: Vad händer när datorerna blir smartare än vad vi är?
Artificial intelligence is getting smarter by leaps and bounds — within this century, research suggests, a computer AI could be as ”smart” as a human being.
And then, says Nick Bostrom, it will overtake us: ”Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make.” A philosopher and technologist, Bostrom asks us to think hard about the world we’re building right now, driven by thinking machines. Will our smart machines help to preserve humanity and our values — or will they have values of their own?
