In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Abrahao Bruno

Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Business Analytics, NYU Shanghai Global Network Assistant Professor, New York University

Upon realizing that most pressing problems in society involving the introduction of new computer-based technologies are not solvable purely by engineering techniques, Bruno, a computer scientist, started a career path in the intersection of computer science and sociology, focusing largely on the role of technology and artificial intelligence in social systems. His investigations have illuminated the interplay between human factors and the effects of artificially engineered artifacts, such as online reputation, to offset our most deeply rooted social biases. He also developed algorithms that leverage large online social networks to guide decisions in health care, in markets, and in the design of large-scale online systems.
