The Art and Science of Wine Tasting | Qian Janice Wang | TED
May 10, 2026
No two people taste wine the same way, and science is starting to show us why. Sensory scientist Qian Janice Wang explores why experts and beginners experience complexity so differently — revealing that what makes a wine great may have less to do with what's in the glass and more to do with what's happening in your brain.

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED
May 8, 2026
We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds, says neuroscientist Anil Seth. He explores the all-too-human tendency to project inner life onto machines that are brilliant mimics, not sentient beings, and gives a definitive answer to the urgent question: Will AI ever gain consciousness?

I Let DaddyGPT Parent My Kids. Here’s What I Learned | Stephen Remedios | TED
May 7, 2026
As the world races toward digital perfection, tech humanist Stephen Remedios tried to optimize the messiest and most imperfect of all human work: parenting. He shares the story of DaddyGPT, a digital version of himself built to help raise his kids — until they began to prefer it over him. What unfolds is a personal look at the limits of AI, and a reminder that what matters most isn't getting it right every time but showing up with the authentic imperfection only humans have.

In this TED Talk gone wrong, comedian Mike Albo receives an unexpected call from his bank.

How to Make Transportation Quieter, Cleaner and Cheaper | Doreen Orishaba | TED
May 4, 2026
When Doreen Orishaba helped build Africa’s first electric car in 2011, skeptics dismissed it as a “toy for the Western world.” Now she’s running dozens of electric buses across Kenya and Rwanda, moving thousands of passengers to work every day on zero-exhaust vehicles powered by near-silent engines. She breaks down what it actually takes to scale clean transport — and why skipping the gas station pit stop is closer than you may think.

The Nurse Who Can Smell Parkinson’s | Joy Milne | TED
May 3, 2026
What does Parkinson's smell like? Ask nurse Joy Milne. Born with a hypersensitive nose, she spent a lifetime learning to recognize diseases through their scents. When she smelled Parkinson's on her husband years before his diagnosis, she decided to put her gift to the test. Today, her extraordinary nose has been translated into a non-invasive test — helping researchers diagnose what was right under their noses all along.

Why Pursuing Happiness Makes You … Less Happy | Emily Esfahani Smith | TED
May 2, 2026
Drawing on clinical research and psychological studies, writer and psychologist Emily Esfahani Smith shows why pursuing meaning — the experience of connecting to something beyond yourself — creates a deeper sense of well-being than comes from chasing happiness.
