** The Battle for Your Brain
Legal & Ethical Dilemmas at Nexus of Neuroscience & AI

At the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence lies a wealth of opportunity for business, labor, and society at large. Yet along with progress comes a host of legal and ethical dilemmas. Join Dr. Nita Farahany, author of the new book, The Battle for Your Brain ([link removed]) , for a virtual event on March 30 at 1:00 pm ([link removed]) . She will offer a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves.

This is the Daniel Callahan Annual Lecture ([link removed]) , supported by The John and Patricia Klingenstein Fund and The Andrew and Julie Klingenstein Family Foundation. Learn more and register ([link removed]) .
