Women’s Leadership Conference

Sarah Baldeo is a globally renowned AI neuroscientist, bestselling author, and global keynote speaker at the forefront of one of the defining questions of our time: what happens to the human brain as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in how we think, work, and lead.

Recently featured in TIME and invited into conversation with Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Podcast, Sarah brings a rare combination of scientific depth, executive experience, and public credibility to the global conversation on human cognition in the age of intelligent systems.

As author of peer-reviewed research published by the American Psychological Association, Sarah examines how generative AI affects confidence, reasoning, and executive function, helping leaders distinguish between cognitive offload and cognitive upgrade.

With more than 1,400 stages across North America and Europe, and leadership experience spanning Deloitte, CGI, entrepreneurship, and neurotechnology, she advises institutions on how to preserve judgment, sharpen human advantage, and build resilient minds in an era of machine acceleration.

Sarah is a recurring guest expert on NBC, CBC, CTV, BBC, and across major news networks globally where she shares insights on the Future of the Human Brain.

Her work centers on one defining question: How do we unlock the 100 trillion synaptic connections of the human brain and upgrade our operating system in the Age of A.I.
