What happens when we teach a computer how to learn? Technologist Jeremy Howard shares some surprising new developments in the fast-moving field of deep learning, a technique that can give computers the ability to learn Chinese, or to recognize objects in photos, or to help think through a medical diagnosis. Get caught up on a field that will change the way the computers around you behave … sooner than you probably think. Watch »

Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field. Watch »

Our biases can be dangerous, even deadly — as we've seen in the cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner, in Staten Island, New York.

It's a movement that is going global. Watch »

  What a beautiful talk. I believe that Verna is on to something even more profound than solely bias. We need to confront in ourselves everything that we project on 'others'. Greed, stupidity, anger, bias, laziness. It is only from recognizing our faults that we can grow out of them. We cannot become compassionate from repeating that 'I am compassionate' every day, nor can we cultivate kindness from the belief that we should. Watch and observe, and from there springs forth right action."
