The AI revolution is here to stay, says Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. In a probing, live conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Altman discusses the astonishing growth of AI and shows how models like ChatGPT could soon become extensions of ourselves.

Can you look at someone's face and know what they're feeling? Does everyone experience happiness, sadness and anxiety the same way? What are emotions anyway? For the past 30 years, psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett has mapped facial expressions, scanned brains, and analyzed hundreds of physiology studies to understand what emotions really are. She shares the results of her exhaustive research and explains how we may have more control over our emotions than we think. Consider listening to her TED Talk: You aren't at the mercy of your emotions; your brain creates them.

Critical thinking increasingly stands out as the most sought-after skill that has long been too fleeting to define. Employers rate it as a pinnacle skill, but one of which they see too little. Educators claim to teach it, but over half of Millennials recently failed a simple Mindedge critical thinking test. So, what is critical thinking? Analysis? Information literacy? Thinking innovatively inside/outside the box? Informal logic? Problem-solving? Evaluating data? Decision science? What if all of our efforts to define critical thinking have been the core problem with teaching it and learning it? What if, instead of using our brains to devise conceptions of critical thinking, we eliminated the noise and simply teach people to think better and critically by tracing critical thinking back to its core evolutionary survival mechanisms?

Dr. Becky Kennedy is a clinical psychologist specializing in effective parenting. Her compelling discussion on "getting good at repair" is applicable to any meaningful relationship, whether that be in parenting, friendship, or leadership. The doctor's definition of repair is the act of going back to a moment of action, taking responsibility for your behavior, and acknowledging the impact that it had on another. A repair is not necessarily an apology, rather it opens one up for depth of conversation surrounding expectations, behavior, and miscommunication. Consider listening to her TED Talk: The single most important parenting strategy.

Fueling the mind and body with quality nutrition, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration, is of the utmost importance. Nutrition is the process of eating the right kinds of nutrients over time in order to support growth and stay healthy. Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet and health. Because people have different dietary needs, some might need more of some kind of nutrients, while others need less. So, nutrition is measured differently than nutrients are. Finding out whether someone is getting the right nutrition for their body involves examining a person’s individual needs over time. From the hydration standpoint, take your body weight and divide it in half. Whatever that number is will be the number of ounces of pure water to drink each day. Consider listening to Dr. Rupy Aujla discuss using food as medicine.
