Why AI Is Our Ultimate Test and Greatest Invitation

In this 15-minute TED talk, technologist Tristan Harris poses an urgent question about artificial intelligence deployment being a choice rather than an inevitable path. Explore his eye-opening perspective on how society can learn from social media's catastrophic implementation mistakes to avoid similar pitfalls with AI development. Harris outlines a "narrow path" forward where technological power is balanced with responsibility, foresight, and wisdom. Recorded at TED2025 on April 9, 2025, this talk challenges viewers to reconsider how humanity approaches the world's most powerful technology and the critical choices that will shape our collective future.
