What if the future isn’t predicted, but questioned? | Ishkhan Margaryan | TEDxMoskovyanStSalon

Ishkhan explores the fundamental role of questioning in human evolution and how it shapes our relationship with the future, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. From ancient oracles to modern search engines and AI systems, he traces how humanity has always searched for answers and why the real power lies in asking the right questions.
As AI becomes a new source of answers, a deeper concern emerges: will it make us stop thinking, or push us to think better?
Ishkhan argues that questioning is not a weakness, it is a uniquely human capability and a critical skill for the future. By distinguishing between constructive and destructive questions, he challenges us to become more conscious of how we think, what we ask, and how it shapes our lives.
Because in a world driven by answers,
those who ask better questions will define what comes next. Ishkhan Margaryan is Deputy CEO and HR Director at DataArt Armenia, with over 15 years of experience in human resources and organizational development.
