When AI can fake reality, who can you trust?

I think the TED talk is going to be about deep fakes being more realistic, becoming a huge problem in society and being used for illegal purposes. My prediction is that there will be a side by side comparison of reality and deep fake.

Increasing - becoming greater in something

Falsified - alter something to mislead

Broadly - in general, without details

Malicious - intending to harm

Diminishing - becoming less

Proliferation - rapid increase of something

News anchor - person who presents news

Synthesise - make something chemically

Profound - very great, intense

Discerning - good judgment

I was right, the TED talk was hosted by Sam Gregory and was about confusing reality with deep fakes. It talked about the wrong way to use AI. The deep fakes can target anyone just thanks to one picture or one second of your voice on the internet.

Mainly it targets politicians, news anchors and public figures. Popular scam using the deep fakes is targeting worried parents through phone calls from their children who need help.

The solution to this problem is to overcome it and don’t panic. The host is saying that there is currently being developed generator to spot the fakes but it wont be 100% correct.

I would recommend this TED talk to someone who is interested in AI and problems of the modern world.

How to make learning as addictive as social media

I expect to hear some interesting methods, which i could possibly use in the future, because i don't really feel motivated enough to start learning some subjects on my own.

to make broccoli taste like desert

gamify

So, the video indeed showed me how to make learning fun and all about how it actually works and why. The guy was talking about an app called Duolingo (app for learning languagues) which i already knew, but the reason why does it actually work cought my interest. He was talking about how did they manage to make a learning app fun and educatable at the same time. However, what got my attention was the streaks technique. They got inspired by Snapchat users trying so hard to have the most streaks possible by using the app every day, so they used this technique in Duolingo as well, to make people use it at least once per day and if the person doest use it somewhen in a day, they would send them a notification, just like Snapchat does. Well it actually worked and nowadays there are millions of people using this app.

I would recommend this TED Talk to someone, who doesnt find learning languages interesting but i would also recommend this TED Talk to someone, whos interested in how does Duolingo work and why does it work on so many people.

Can we build AI without losing control over it?

I expect that I will hear about how can AI get really dangerous and that we should be aware of everything that can happen. Also I think the author will describe some specific situation that can happen.

The author warns about the possible catastrophic consequences of developing artificial intelligence which could become smarter than humans and start improving itself. The biggest threat is not that AI will be evil but that its goals might not align with ours which could lead to our destruction. Just like humans destroy ants when they are in the way. Altough these risks we continue to develop AI because it's key to solving global problems like diseases or climate change. The author warns that humanity is not able to respond properly to these risks and underestimates the dangers AI presents.

I would recommend this TED to someone who is interrested in AI or the problems AI could make.

I think the TED talk will be about scientists, who want to inovate  a new vaccine and about how malaria hit people and families in Africa.  Also about what  is malaria and where is the most cases.

Eradication– The complete removal of a disease.

Insecticide– A substance used to kill insects.

Resilience– The ability to recover from challenges or difficulties.

Endemic– A disease that is regularly found in a particular region.

Intervention – An action taken to improve a health or social situation.

Suffering – It is the experience of intense physical or emotinal pain or hardship

Defeat – It is the act of winning against someone in a battle

Public health infrastructure – The systems, resources, and policies in place to protect the health of a population.

Larvicides – Chemicals used to kill the larval stage of insects like mosquitoes.

In some ways, I was right. The TED talk was hosted by African scientist Abdoulaye Diabaté.

When he was around three or four years old, his family had malaria, and sadly, his father died.  Because Abdoulaye doesn’t want other children to lose their parents, because of malaria. He became a scientist.  Every year die half milion of people, because of malaria.

Abdoulaye  explais how we can stop malaria by genetically modifying  moscquitoes. These modified mosquitoes can not spread disease, which could greatly reduse malaria in place like Africa.

His laboratory  is ready to release mosquitoes , but Africa isn't prepared. They think it will take 5 years to prepare population for change.

He also talks about challenges and hopes that  this strategy will be a game-changer for global health.

I would recommend this TED talk to someone who is interested in science, biology and about diseases in Afrika.

OUR DANGEROUS OBSESSION WITH PERFECTIONISM IS GETTING WORSE

# data[].attributes.body
WHAT DO I EXPECT?

I expect that the person will talk about how social media changed our lives. Everyone there is showing just the good side of them and many people even edit their photos. Young people follow them daily and it has big inmpact on their mental health. I also think it will talk about the negative side of perfectionism.

COMPARISON: It was mostly about what i expected it to be, but I didn’t know that perfectionism has a such huge impact on mental health and I also found myself in some of the things he was saying.

NEW WORDS:

1. remarkable

2. begrudging

3. insignia

4. discontented

5. lingering

6. contributing

7. attaimend

8. ubiquitous

9. landscaply

10. lavishly

SUMMARY

This TED talk is about perfectionism and it’s negative inmpact on our mental health and the things that make it even worse. It also showes that our changing world makes it even bigger problem than ever before.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS TED TALK TO OTHER PROPLE? WHY/WHY NOT?

I would definitely recommend this TED-talk to all people, who struggle with perfectionism or to the people, who think that perfectionism is a good quality. It was an eye-opening speech, that showed us how dramaticlly is perfectionism increasing with time even tho it has many negative effects on our mental health and cause many illnesess like depression, anxienty, bulimia or anorexia. In my opinion this viedo might help people to change their perspective and not get cought up in their perfectionism. They could also learn aspects, which negatively impacts this issue and avoid them.

However I wouldn’t recommend It to lazy and careless people, because It could demotivate them to change. Perfectionism is impossible and striving to be perfect is ruining our mental health after all, right?

I am expecting to hear, how to not offend someone by what I am saying or how to act when I offend someone by what I say. I also expect to hear, how to say what I want, without offending someone.

·         Blame – when you say it‘s someone elses fault tor that they are the problem (vinit)

·         Inevitable - something is unpreventable and you can’t do nothing to stop it from happening (nevyhnutelné)

·         Offend – when you do or say something that is hurtful to someone else (urazit, dotknout se)

We really can’t not offend someone sometimes in life. Offense is inevitable, because you don’t know, what’s offensive to someone. Learn to accept this an work with it.

I recommend this TED, because it is really interesting to think about what offense actually is. It is also interesting to know that you can’t really dodge offending someone. The author does not only talk about offense, but also how to strenghten our relationships, since he is marriage and family therapist. Really interesting part was at the beginning, when he is talking about the couples, that are freshly married or only engaged. Funny is, that after these couples tell him, they never argue, and are the perfect match, he in response says that he will teach them how to argue. By this, he teaches people, that it’s okay to argue and fight, and still love each other. In the end, this TED talk is completely different, than what I thought it will be, but it is still really interesting and definitely worthy watching.

I expect to hear about some new or old tips and tricks for how could you make your cat happier. Propably how to behave to your cat, what should you feed her with or how to make your house cosy for her living. I´m excited to hear some new information that I haven´t heard of.

cat pearson - someone who prefers cats over dogs

behaviour - the way someone acts, especially towards others

interactive play - type of play that involves two or more beings (cat + cat, cat + human)

cats protection care - charity for unwanted or homeless cats

rewiew - critic or compliment in a feedback

dash across the floor - to hit something against another thing

hunters - animals that hunts

mentally stimulating - anything that exercises brain

feeding richment - an interesting way of feeding a cat

effort - an attempt of doing something

I would say there was mentioned almost everything I expected. Like how you should behave or play with your cat, the way you should feed her and how to readjust your home for your cat to feel in her skin, beacuse we all know cats are hunters. In the video is mentioned many options how to play with her like an interactive play, beacuse cats are really playfull beings and it´s going to help if you play with them and not let them play with themselfs. There is also mentioned feeding richment, so try not to put their food in a bowl, instead make it more entertaning. In my opinion everyone with a pet, not just an owner of a cat, should watch this video. Because surely you will discover things you don´t do or things you do wrong. After you´ll listen to all those information, you could make your cat or pet more comfortable but importantly happier.

I’m expecting to learn more about anger and also hear about how anger can be actually helpful to us. We all have anger and we get mad, but it’s interesting to see how every person has different tolerance and how different situations make us react. Anger is a strong emotion after all.

„Anger is a powerful and healthy force in your life”

„It’s more than right to BE angry when we are treated poorly”

Anger gives us the energy we need to respond

We can turn anger into something productive (protests, volunteer, demonstrations, creative stuff such as art or literature, making a community,…)

We need to listen to what our anger is trying to tell us —> turn and use it for ourselves/productivity

Anger is piling up (Pre-Anger State)

I definitely recommend this TED to people who like to educate themselves and are curious about how our emotions work. It falls under psychology.

The TED was pretty much what I expected it will be, but it’s still surprising how we can turn a “bad” emotion into something better. I knew almost everything he was talking about. I enjoyed listening to it.

I think there are going to be many advices on how to achieve what you want. He could also tell his personal experiences. He can talk about what to do or what to avoid in life. He could also warn people about something important.

1. coherence

2. elated

3. tenure

4. undergrad

5. threshold

7. framework

8. clarity

9. transcend

10. particular

What makes for a meaningful life? Psychologist Brian S. Lowery explores three ideas tied to the experience of meaning and shows why simply going after your personal achievements isn't the best way to find it.

There are many things you could think are important, but in reality you will find out that it is not exactly set. Everybody knows that if you want to achieve something, you need to create a routine that have to work. What I did not expect to be said is that supporting others would make such a big difference, but it is actually more important than going only for goals that has a meaning only for yourself and I think it makes sence.

I would recommend this TED to someone who is purposeful, wants to hear a specialists view and want to know what to focus on in life.

I expect to hear something like how perfection is presented as a norm and that it’s somehow better to be a perfectionist or that perfectionism can take you away from trying new things that just can’t be perfect and are frustrating. I would also like to hear some impacts on mental health.

NEW WORDS:

Preeminent - having supreme rank, dignity or importance

Ubiquitous - present, appearing, found everywhere

Meritocracy - society where people get status based of what they’ve achived

Attain - gain, achieve

Demanding - difficult, challenging

Inevitable - something that will definitely happen

Condemn - criticize, censure

Begrudging - envy

Pervasive - common

Lavishly - generously, luxuriously

The video was about how perfectionism is increasing in society and showed us the other side of trying to be perfect. Even though a lot of successful people are perfectionists it has its dark side as the impact on mental health that goes hand in hand with comparing yourself to others constantly and feeling like something less all the time. Big part in increasing perfectionism by comparing yourself to the others has social media which is used on a daily basis nowadays.

I would recommend to watch this video to people who are perfectionists themselves and also to parents so they can raise their children without the need to make them perfect and also learn them that it is a necessarily part of life to fail sometimes. After all we learn from the mistakes.

What I learned designing a school for the deaf?

# data[].attributes.body
I think the video might be about the journey of building the school and realisation that deaf kids (and their families) don't have it easy and have their needs. I expect that they will also talk about methods of education or some kind of programm.

New words?

census - an official count of a population

descriptive - describing or classifying in an objective and non-judgemental way

imprecise - not exact

At some point I was right. The architect was talking about how he builded his first school for deaf (it was also his first project after school). He had no idea what does the deaf kid need. But he had his team where were also two teachers who were going to teach in the school. They helped him to understand the kids need to be focused, that they need quiet place where they won't be distracted from work. After this project he realised he wants to build this kind of buildings. Then he introduced his new project which was also school for deaf. He described the journey of building it and explained why there were specific elements.

I would recommend this video to people that are interesed or are conected to this theme but also to future architects.

Why domestic violence victims don’t leave

# data[].attributes.body
-Nevřalová Nikol

I expect to hear why people stay with people that are hurting them. What is happening in their brain and maybe some story from the life.

disguised - new appearance to someone to hide the true form

thrives - grow or develop well

walk out - leave suddenly

savagely - violent, uncontrolled manner

drop out - stop being involved in something

seduce - entice someone into a sexual activity

annoucement - public statement about a fact

So i wasn’t far from the truth with my expectations. There was a woman who talked about her real experience with domestic violence. She was a victim and her husband was the abuser. She stayed with him for almost three years even though he abused her on average two times a week. She was too scared to leave because more than 70% of women that are killed by their abusive partner ended the relationship before the murder. She didn’t specifically talk about what happens in the mind of the victim but she indicated that the victim is too scared to leave because she/he thinks that nobody is going to help them. The abuser mostly isolates the victim from her/his friends and family so they think that they’re alone in this situation and they have to stay with the abuser.

I absolutely recommend this TED talk. Everyone should know about domestic violence because you never know if anyone in your surroundings is in this situation. It is really important to talk about this stuff so the victims know that they have other choices than just staying with the abuser.
