In this compelling TEDxLinz talk, Stephan Klinger delves into the transformative power of data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence to reshape how we perceive life, the universe, and everything within it (with a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Moving beyond traditional notions of causality, Stephan Klinger unveils how focusing on correlations can reveal patterns and insights previously hidden from view.
Drawing on rich stories from across Canada, India, the United States, Polynesia, and even the darker corners of the internet, Stephan invites us to consider the unique potential of data-driven insights. By highlighting real-world examples, he shows how large datasets enable us to transcend conventional boundaries and illuminate complex aspects of human behavior.
Join Stephan Klinger on this philosophical journey into the future of data. Let's contribute our data to a universal "Book of Humankind". Stephan is a regulatory consultant, storyteller and coach. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
