  • The Invisible Backpack of Shame: AI Rendition of My TEDx Talk "The Clarity We Need for Belonging"

    The Invisible Backpack of Shame: AI Rendition of My TEDx Talk "The Clarity We Need for Belonging"
    Jan 19 2026
    My TEDx Talk titled, The Clarity We Need For Belonging, was published by TED.com over 3 years ago. This interpretation of my monologue into dialogue form reminds me of the first time my son came home and said they used AI in class to look up something. I was quite disappointed that the task to use AI did not do more than look up something. It’s like using the internet search engine. What a missed opportunity! My Original TEDx Talk: https://youtu.be/o3xAD3I3x-M?si=5oSV4PKUVk8b__nwhttps://www.ted.com/talks/catherine_quinlan_the_clarity_we_need_for_belongingCan you spot the difference? Listen to this 16-minute AI rendition and dramatization using dialogue and compare it with my original 8-minute TEDx Talk monologue. How might you interpret this similarly or differently? Can you identify differences? Which do you prefer? Which resonates with you the most? Which is more vulnerable or shaming to me? How? Why? Overall, despite a few errors, some caused by my omission of a few details and others by limitations to AI, this rendition brings the TEDx Talk home providing a different perspective. Write your reactions and interpretations in the comments. AI Summary: In this TEDx Talk, researcher Catherine Quinlan explores the profound connection between identity, shame, and the sense of belonging. Drawing from her personal life as a mother and her professional work in science education, she illustrates how societal narratives often marginalize Black accomplishments through isolation and shaming. She argues that children internalize these cultural scripts early on, which can lead to a rejection of their own heritage or the devaluing of others. By examining the historical exclusion of figures like Ed Dwight, she highlights how systemic shaming forces individuals to distance themselves from their successes. Ultimately, Quinlan calls for a collective self-reflection to identify and break these cycles of shame. She asserts that true social inclusion is only possible when we achieve clarity regarding how we shame ourselves and those around us.Further thoughts:My recent discovery of this AI tool showed me that as an instructor I need to further re-think which assignments I emphasize in my courses. I am grateful, and in light of current concerns lucky, that I have mainly focused on having students not only apply but also create, execute, and demonstrate what they learn - for example using tasks that requires multimedia artefacts for electronic portfolios.
