Everett Distinguished Professor of Law & Philosophy at Duke Law School, founding director of Duke Science & Society, faculty chair of the Duke MA in Bioethics & Science Policy, and principal investigator of SLAP Lab, for our second 2023-2024 Rothenberg Speaker Series event. Farahany will share her expert insights into the intersection of artificial intelligence and health care and the implications for the rapidly emerging technology on privacy in her presentation on "The Battle for Your Brain."
