This talk explores how Indonesia's frequent disasters reveal a critical gap: not in technology, but between awareness and action. Despite advanced tools for detection and risk analysis, devastating losses persist. It argues that the most powerful technology lies not in artificial intelligence, but in the human conscience.

Through the Human–Technology–Nature triangle, the discussion emphasizes how education can empower the next generation to view technology as a responsibility shaped by empathy and courage. The speaker, a Gen Z ICT teacher and creative content creator, offers a fresh, relevant perspective on global issues and emerging trends.

Judges increasingly use AI tools for critical decisions, from sentencing to risk assessment, fundamentally changing justice delivery. Public confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of AI-assisted court processes is paramount. Dr. Brian Barry's TEDx talk proposes a roadmap: just as judges follow conduct principles, AI tools must follow good design principles.

This roadmap involves three milestones: defining AI principles, translating them into technical guardrails, and rigorously testing for trust and procedural fairness before deployment. This ensures AI adoption enhances, rather than undermines, judicial legitimacy. Dr. Barry, an Associate Professor at Trinity College Dublin, leads research on how AI design impacts trust in judicial processes, including his €2 million JUDGEASSIST project.

Dr. Jamie Sommer, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of South Florida, investigates what truly moves the needle in climate change activism. Her oral history research project, featuring female leaders globally, uncovers surprising findings about effective climate action.

Sommer's broader work examines how institutions and systems, including capitalism and patriarchy, shape global environmental inequality, often benefiting powerful groups. She also studies climate resilience and trauma through oral histories with communities facing extreme weather events in India and Guatemala, collaborating with the Climate Knowledge Collective.

Each year, 500 billion petroleum-based cups are used for minutes then discarded, a problem too vast for recycling alone. The solution lies in durable reuse infrastructure: standardized, returnable

Each year, 500 billion petroleum-based cups are used for minutes then discarded, a problem too vast for recycling alone. The solution lies in durable reuse infrastructure: standardized, returnable packaging systems that treat containers as valuable assets, not waste. Such systems already thrive in countries like Colombia and France.

A global coalition, including concert venues, multinationals, and governments, is actively building standards and financing to scale these reuse systems worldwide. Amy Larkin, co-founder of PR3: Global Alliance to Advance Reuse, leads this effort. Her organization has united over 80 leaders to establish global reuse industry standards, championing reuse over recycling as the foundation for a sustainable packaging economy.

Billions of pounds of plastic packaging pollute our oceans annually. Seaweed offers a sustainable solution. Researchers are unlocking its potential as a scalable packaging material, growing

Billions of pounds of plastic packaging pollute our oceans annually. Seaweed offers a sustainable solution. Researchers are unlocking its potential as a scalable packaging material, growing without fresh water, fertilizer, or soil, and returning nutrients. Farmed globally, its expansion could create 100 million jobs.

Julia Marsh, CEO of Sway, leads this innovation. Sway's seaweed-based films perform like plastic, use existing infrastructure, and fully compost. Marsh champions ocean health and regenerative materials, proving nature's solution to plastic.
