Keynote: Technology That Reads Minds – Motivation, Not Regulation in the Workplace

As a summer law associate, Nita Farahany was advised to “never put anything in writing that you wouldn’t want to see on the cover of The New York Times.” But what if that advice extended to not even thinking about anything that you wouldn’t want splashed all over page one? In this cutting-edge, compelling talk, Farahany shows audiences why we must ask these questions, as consumer electroencephalography (EEG) and neurofeedback devices are becoming increasingly available and utilized in the workplace. What does this mean for society? What does this mean for cybersecurity professionals who find themselves charged with protecting this data? When are privacy lines crossed? What new ethical dilemmas will we face? Farahany argues we must decide what we as a society want our livelihoods and our lives to look like.
