“Neurotechnology, or devices that let you track your own brain activity, could help you deeply understand your health. But without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions, and desires could be at risk of exploitation. “
Nita Farahany is a pioneering futurist and leading authority at the intersection of law, ethics, and technology.
As the Robinson O. Everett Distinguished Professor of Law & Philosophy at Duke Law School, and Founding Director of Duke Science & Society, she drives transformative discussions on technology’s ethical implications.
Her seminal book, The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology (2023), charts a pathway to cognitive freedom in an increasingly interconnected world.
She’s a highly sought after speaker, her insights resonate from TED stages to the World Economic Forum. Serving on President Obama’s Presidential Commission (2010-2017) and advising entities including the U.S. BRAIN Initiative and the World Economic Forum, her expertise influences global technology policy.
With a JD and Ph.D. in law and philosophy from Duke University, with degrees in Genetics from Dartmouth, and Biology from Harvard, Nita’s interdisciplinary background informs her role as a prominent voice shaping global discourse on emerging technologies.
