AI on Trial | Nader Torki | TEDxPristine Private School

Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, think, make decisions, and solve problems. As its capabilities continue to grow, the most important question is no longer what AI can do, but what it should do. This thought-provoking talk puts AI on trial and explores real-world AI scenarios that challenge common assumptions about innovation, ethics, trust, and accountability. By looking beyond the technology itself, the talk highlights the human judgment behind every AI decision. It encourages leaders and individuals alike to think critically about where responsibility lies, how governance should evolve, and what it means to adopt AI responsibly. The conclusion is a practical perspective on balancing innovation with ethics by applying a strategy on using AI. The future of AI will depend not only on the intelligence of our machines, but also on the wisdom of the people who design, deploy, and use them. Ultimately, it's thinking about AI a little differently, one that shifts the focus from technological capability to human judgment, ethical responsibility, and informed decision-making. To think about why we use AI? before using it as a shortcut, before replacing your thinking, and before losing your compass. Nader Torki is the Chief Strategy Officer in Cognit DX.
