      Its just art. People aren’t worshiping these machines. Do you think the Disneyland parades are also idolatry?

    We had the spider in Bruges. It was lovely to see the performance. But very expansive on the city’s budget.

What do the story of Oedipus and your insurance premiums have in common? They are both driven by self-fulfilling prophecies. Philosopher and TED Fellow Carissa Véliz traces the hidden power of prediction, from Roman emperors who banned prophets to the AI algorithms quietly making decisions about your life right now.

So the next time someone tells you a specific outcome is inevitable, remember: they aren’t describing the future — they’re selling it. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
