During the already gone year, there were series of different enticing and captivating TED talks by different individuals.

In case you don’t know, TED is a media organisation which posts talks online for free distribution, under the slogan "ideas worth spreading". TED was founded in February 1984 as a conference, which has been held annually since 1990.

It ranges from different topics on several niches across the Globe. Issues on Infrastructure, Technology, Innovations and Internet breakthrough are some of the major led talks on TED.

We, therefore, made a compilation of the best top 10 TED talks of the year 2016. These were selected based on our preferences of user opinion, the max engagement of the given talk and other clear factors.

[Can we build AI without losing control over it]
By Sam Harris

---

More of a question-like talk.
We all know and are aware of the current breakthrough in the technology industry. Sam Harris recognised the fact that someday, we may get to build machines that are smarter than we are.

He, therefore, stressed the fact that in the case of building machines (gods) that are smarter than we are, we get to make sure that they are gods we can live with. A great talk indeed.

[Gene Editing can wipe out mosquitoes forever]
By Jennifer Kahn

---

More of a suggestion based talk.
We all acknowledge the fact that mosquitoes are a very bad enemy to mankind, and have caused thousands of so many deaths.

She, therefore, outlined the risk involved in carrying out gene editing. Though they may be a frightening act to talk on but more or less worth the risk taking.

The secret to effective nonviolent resistance]
By Jamila Raqib

---

More of a kick towards eradicating violence.
She stressed the need to give war-affected regions a real tool that its use is powerful and as powerful as violence itself

We are therefore not just going to tell them that the war is over, instead, we must offer them a tool as outlined above.
