How predictions took over our lives

This TED Radio Hour examines the booming world of prediction — from betting apps to AI models. Host Manoush Zomorodi speaks with professor Brendan Dwyer, philosopher Carissa Véliz, and journalist Simone Stolzoff about why we're drawn to certainty, how forecasts influence our decisions, and the risks of treating predictions as facts. The hour weaves together TED Talks and original interviews to explore the psychology and ethics of a prediction-obsessed culture.
