Nita Farahany
Nita Farahany helps organizations navigate neurotechnology ethics, AI governance, and cognitive privacy. She works with global leaders to protect employee autonomy and shape responsible innovation policies. Professor at Duke University, author of The Battle For Your Brain, advisor to the World Economic Forum and United Nations.
Nita Farahany is a leading authority on the ethical and legal implications of emerging neurotechnology and artificial intelligence, helping audiences understand what brain surveillance means for human freedom.
She is the Robinson O. Everett Professor of Law and Philosophy at Duke University and author of The Battle For Your Brain, a groundbreaking exploration of cognitive liberty in the age of AI. Her work has shaped policy discussions at the World Economic Forum and the United Nations.
Nita's research sits at the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and human rights, a space few experts occupy with equal depth. As wearable neurotech and generative AI advance rapidly, organizations face urgent questions about employee monitoring, data privacy, and the boundaries of personal autonomy. Nita translates complex science and law into practical frameworks that help leaders, policymakers, and technologists make informed decisions before regulation catches up to innovation.
Audiences leave Nita's sessions with a clear understanding of how brain-monitoring technology works today, not in some distant future. They gain actionable strategies for protecting cognitive privacy within their organizations and a framework for evaluating the ethical tradeoffs of adopting neurotechnology, whether for productivity, health, or learning.
Book Nita Farahany to give your audience the clarity and tools they need before the window for shaping these technologies closes.
Nita brings rare dual expertise in neuroscience law and AI ethics from Duke, giving leadership teams the frameworks to navigate brain surveillance and cognitive privacy before regulation forces their hand. Her work at the World Economic Forum positions her to translate emerging neurotech risks into practical governance strategies that protect both innovation and autonomy.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
