The Neuroscience of AI
A salon on the neuroscience of AI transformation
AI is entering organizations faster than humans are adapting to it.
Despite enormous investment in generative AI, the reality of how these tools are being used inside companies is still far from what was promised. The challenge may be less about the technology itself and more about the human brain.
What happens to attention, decision-making, creativity, learning, trust, and collaboration when AI becomes part of everyday work? Why do some people integrate new tools almost intuitively while others resist them? And what does it actually take to transform an organization when both the technology and our relationship to intelligence are changing at once?
Join Dr. David Rock, co-founder and CEO of the NeuroLeadership Institute, for an intimate evening exploring the neuroscience of AI adoption and transformation.
David will open with a short TED-style presentation sharing emerging research on how AI is affecting the brain and behavior at work, followed by a candid conversation with leaders working at the intersection of technology, organizations, and human intelligence.
Rather than another conversation about what AI can do, we’ll ask what happens to humans when AI actually becomes part of how we think and work.
We’ll explore
What neuroscience can tell us about resistance to and adoption of AI
How frequent AI use may be changing cognition, attention, learning, and decision-making
What leaders misunderstand about AI transformation
How organizations can design AI adoption around the way humans actually learn and adapt

About David Rock
Dr. David Rock is the co-founder and CEO of the NeuroLeadership Institute, which has spent more than two decades translating neuroscience research into practical insights for leadership and organizational transformation. He is the author of 5 books, including the forthcoming "Good With Humans" (Harper Edge, Nov. 17), and the best seller "Your Brain at Work."
His work focuses on understanding how the brain responds to change, learning, collaboration, decision-making, and increasingly, artificial intelligence in the workplace. He works with senior leaders and organizations around the world on applying neuroscience to some of the most difficult challenges facing modern institutions. Over 20 million people have been directly impacted by his work in the last decade, across two thirds of the Fortune 100.
Hosted by Alinea Institute
Alinea Institute is an emerging research and experimentation platform exploring the co-evolution of human and artificial intelligence, new economic and organizational models, and the conditions required for humans and increasingly intelligent technologies to develop in greater alignment.
Our salons bring together researchers, technologists, founders, investors, artists, and institutional leaders for conversations that sit between disciplines and are difficult to have anywhere else.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the evening conversational.
