TEDx Zurich Live: Humanity Reimagined

What Are Humans For?

In a world rapidly reshaped by technology, AI, and global disruption, the question is no longer what can we do?—but what are humans for?

Join us at TEDxZurich Live, where we stream talks from TED2025, themed “What Are Humans For?”, and gather locally in Zurich to explore how humanity can thrive in the face of change.

With so many familiar roles and systems up for re-invention, the challenges of our time won’t be solved by traditional thinking. Now more than ever, we must harness our full capacity for creativity, imagination, and curiosity to envision a future we truly want to live in.

At TEDxZurich Live – Humanity Reimagined, we’ll hear from global visionaries who offer bold new perspectives—from the potential of AI and biotech to the power of human empathy, creativity, and connection.

Will humanity rise to the challenge? The future is uncertain, thrilling, and full of possibility. One thing is clear: it’s up to us to shape it.
