Thrilled to see our TEDx talk mentioned by Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, in his annual tech predictions. He highlights cultural anthropologist Rob Scotland's talk on how Generation Alpha is using AI not just as a tool, but as an "extension of thinking"—deleting 'impossible' and replacing it with 'not yet.'

It's a powerful validation of the important conversations we're fostering on our stage. Read his full article, "Tech predictions for 2026 and beyond," where he explores the future of AI in education, companionship, and quantum computing.

We’ve caught glimpses of a future that values autonomy, empathy, and individual expertise. Where interdisciplinary cooperation influences discovery and creation at an unrelenting pace. In the coming year, we will begin the transition into a new era of AI in the human loop, not the other way around...

We use them every day: the "justs," the "I thinks," the "maybes." But what if these small words, known as "hedging," are not signs of weakness, but powerful tools shaping our authority and relationships?

In this insightful talk - selected as a TED Editor's Choice - researcher Dr. Alice Ashcroft unravels the subtle language of hedging. Drawing from her work in gendered communication and technology, she reveals how these phrases reflect deep-seated power dynamics and the double bind women often face: speak directly and risk penalty, or hedge and risk credibility.

This is what happens when conviction meets craft. A local stage, a powerful idea, and authentic storytelling didn't just resonate in a room it created a ripple that reached an audience of millions. Dr Alice Ashcroft 's talk is proof that you never know how far your voice can travel when you speak with purpose, research, and heart. A stunning reminder to plant the seeds of your ideas, even if you can't yet see the forest they might grow."

This isn't just a success for her; it's a validation of the entire TEDx team's work in creating a platform where such ideas can be born. Huge congratulations to all involved!
