Nita Farahany's biography

At a glance

  • Leading expert on neurotechnology ethics and law
  • Duke University Professor of Law and Philosophy
  • Author of The Battle For Your Brain
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.
