  • The Future of Leadership AI: An Ecosystem of Coherent Insights
    Jun 27 2025
    Leaders don’t just need AI, they need a leadership AI that creates an ecosystem of coherent insights that makes them smarter and more effective. Join us for this week's Your Brain at Work, featuring NLI’s CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. David Rock, and VP of Solutions, Rachel Cardero, as they discuss how a leadership AI should be designed. The future of leadership AI is both predictive and coherent. It’s designed not only to support leaders in the flow of work but also to deliver predictive “neuro-intelligent nudges”— personalized actions based on what it has learned about the leader and their colleagues. A leadership AI should help overcome the challenges leaders face before they happen through seamless integration of coherent insights. This is the future of NILES, our NeuroIntelligent Leadership Enhancing System. Join David and Rachel as they reveal how neuroscience is shaping the newest version of NILES — and what exciting developments are on the horizon.
