How Small Systems Unlock Extraordinary Human Potential | Leena Agarwal | TEDxDesign Tech HS

The greatest risk of artificial intelligence may lie less in what it does for people and more in the abilities it leads them to stop using. Drawing on almost two decades of work developing AI systems, technology leader Leena Agarwal discusses how intelligent machines are designed and how people interact with them. The talk was given at a TEDx event independently organized by a local community under the TED conference format.

• 考察 the risk that AI leads people to forget their own abilities
• Rethinking how intelligent machines are designed and used
• Speaker: Leena Agarwal, a Technical Program Manager with experience across cloud, AI and autonomous systems
• Presented at an independently organized TEDx event

What if the greatest danger of artificial intelligence isn't what it can do to us, but what it makes us forget we can do ourselves? Drawing on nearly two decades of experience developing AI systems, technology leader Leena Agarwal challenges us to rethink how we design and interact with intelligent machines. I'm a Technical Program Manager who takes complex AI and cloud systems from 0→1 to production. 20 years in tech: 8 as a hands-on hardware/software engineer, then 12+ years as TPM leading programs at Meta, Amazon, Block, Cruise, and Woven by Toyota across cloud infrastructure, AI, physical AI, autonomous systems, and consumer hardware. My sweet spot is where technical complexity meets execution: getting engineering, product, safety, finance, vendors, and executives aligned on what ships, when, and what has to be true for it to be production-ready.
