TEDx Speaker

Reality, literacy, and mental privacy.

My TEDx talk explored how our brains construct our perception of reality, why technological literacy is becoming essential for shaping the future, and how advances in AI and neurotechnology are raising important questions about mental privacy. As these technologies become more capable, understanding both their potential and their implications is no longer optional but a responsibility.
