Watch the full episode:

What makes you … you? In the first episode of TED Intersections, a brand new original series from TED, actor Yara Shahidi and neuroscientist Anil Seth and discuss an idea at the intersection of their expertise: How do you define your “self”? This wide-ranging conversation covers everything from how your brain creates your identity to how someone’s perception of their self might change when they’re acting in a fictional role.

AI has the potential to impact the way humans interact with the world — and each other. Social psychologist Brian S. Lowery and AI technologist Kylan Gibbs dive into the ramifications of emerging technologies on people’s mental health and social dynamics. Hear why Gibbs thinks, counterintuitively, the more we use AI, the less real it will feel — and how Lowery suggests we fulfill our intrinsic need for connection amid dizzying technological advances. (This conversation is part of “TED Intersections,” a series featuring thought-provoking conversations between experts exploring ideas at the intersection of their experience.)
