Inside the mind of the octopus
Only recently have scientists accorded chimpanzees, so closely related to humans we can share blood transfusions, the dignity of having a mind. But now, increasingly, researchers who study octopuses are convinced that these boneless, alien animals-creatures whose ancestors diverged from the lineage that would lead to ours roughly 500 to 700 million years ago-have developed intelligence, emotions, and individual personalities. Their findings are challenging our understanding of consciousness itself.

Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can't understand, with implications we can't control.
