It sprung from the question prompted by what's happening in AI, which is what are humans for?

I genuinely think this is becoming an existential question for all of us.

AI is getting more and more powerful, more and more alarming.

And I think it's the whole assumptions about how life works, I think, are being turned upside down.

And so it's very important for humans to...

to huddle together and imagine what their collective future is and how to redefine purpose, how to redefine what a successful life looks like and so forth.

Hello and welcome, TED members.

It's very, very, very, very good to see you.

I'm the head of TED, Chris Anderson.

I'm a TED head, apparently.

And really excited to be here with you.

We're actually doing something we haven't done before.

We are going to watch together a smash hit TED Talk.

in the presence of the man who gave that talk, Scott Galloway.

I'm going to introduce to you in a minute.

While we're watching that talk, you can comment away, ask questions, talk with each other, disagree, amplify, laugh,

Whatever strikes you as the right thing to do.

And when the talk's over, we'll be putting questions to Scott and seeing how he can possibly defend the outrageous claims that he makes in this talk.

This talk is a very big deal.

He's outlining a giant problem, making some big, bold solutions on what we might do about it.
