It's a valid question and fear.

But can you imagine a world where AI actually helps increase opportunities?

In his talk, Hardy Pemiwa, whose company is helping to bring broadband internet to all of Africa,

tells us why developing AI infrastructure in Africa will help to multiply and amplify human capacity on the continent.

He says the right question to ask is, when will the world catch up to what Africa is doing with AI?

That was Hardy Pemawa speaking at TED AI in Vienna, Austria in 2025.

So what might happen when machines help us develop better tools to create personalized pathways to learning?

In this talk, AI education entrepreneur Priya Lakhani shows us how a one-size-fits-all approach to the classroom strains teachers and fails students, and how, if properly designed, AI could amplify what students and teachers do best and reveal how irreplaceable we humans truly are.
