TEDxNTU 2025|RE:Human

Being human is a complex, ever-evolving experience. As technology weaves itself into every aspect of our lives, the boundaries between human and machine blur, giving rise to new ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting. RE: Human challenges us to rewind and learn from the past, review and reflect on the present, and reboot into the future. How do we adapt, struggle, and transform in times of rapid change? How do we retain our essence and values amidst digital acceleration?

Join us as we examine the interplay between humanity and technology, and discover how empathy, creativity, and solidarity can shape a future where both coexist in harmony.

Get ready for TEDxNTU 2025, where a dynamic lineup of speakers will guide us through thought-provoking questions that challenge our understanding of the world:

• As life shifts into virtual spaces, what becomes of touch, presence, and intimacy? Can technology ever capture the essence of connection?

• Algorithms shape our choices, how do we protect our values? Is true autonomy still possible?

• If we can engineer our bodies and minds, what remains of our humanity? Could perfection strip away the flaws that make us real?

• Can storytelling unite us again in an age of fractured digital narratives? Could the oldest human art help us reboot our future?
