Aura Tegría Cristancho, a 26-year-old indigenous lawyer from Colombia's U'wa Nation, has been the legal advisor to the U'wa Association of Traditional Authorities and Councils (ASOU'WA) since

Aura Tegría Cristancho, a 26-year-old indigenous lawyer from Colombia's U'wa Nation, has been the legal advisor to the U'wa Association of Traditional Authorities and Councils (ASOU'WA) since late 2013.

In September 2017, Aura toured the U.S., sharing the U'wa message of respecting Mother Earth and their generational fight to protect ancestral lands from oil drilling and resource extraction.

Aura emphasizes the U'wa belief that the world is a house supported by vital pillars. She urges non-indigenous people to abandon greed and protect Mother Earth, warning that once her "blood" (oil) is gone, no wealth can restore nature's harmony. Learn more at amazonwatch.org.

Edge computing reduces data transfer costs and enables real-time, private data processing by relocating computation to local devices. However, realizing its full potential requires advanced data analysis and content generation, specifically generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This talk investigated the challenges of deploying generative AI at the edge. It aimed to enhance privacy and efficiently use network and computational resources. The discussion considered edge environment limitations and current solutions for optimizing AI models on resource-limited devices, addressing efficient distributed learning for applications like Large Language Models.

Speaker: Albert Y. Zomaya, University of Sydney, Australia.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference. Initially envisioned to evolve Internet architecture, it later provided bandwidth guarantees for cloud applications in data centers.

Now a pillar of 5G and beyond mobile networks, network slicing delivers differentiated services with stringent requirements. Despite significant research over two decades, its end-to-end deployment remains unrealized. This talk covered its genesis, evolution, key challenges, solutions, and the outlook for 5G+ network slicing.

Climate change profoundly impacts both our environment and language. In her inspiring TEDx talk, ecosystem scientist Dr. Carly Phillips explores our evolving climate vocabulary and the future of wildfires and forests in a rapidly warming world. She delves into the systems and policies governing climate action, explaining why forests alone cannot solve the crisis.

Dr. Phillips' research, spanning from Costa Rica to Alaska, focuses on carbon, wildfire, and climate solutions. Her work highlights how rapidly increasing temperatures threaten global ecosystems, strengthening her passion for addressing climate change.

This talk offers vital insights into our changing world and the path toward climate action. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
