AI Neuroscientist | Bestselling Author | TED Speaker | CEO, ID Quotient

Sarah Baldeo is a Canadian AI neuroscientist, bestselling author, and global keynote speaker helping leaders answer one of the defining questions of the AI era: how do we protect human judgment, attention, confidence, and cognitive strength as intelligent systems become embedded in work and life? Recently featured in TIME and invited into conversation with Oprah Winfrey on The Oprah Podcast, Sarah brings a rare blend of neuroscience, executive strategy, data governance, and public credibility to the global conversation on AI and the future of human cognition.

Her research and advisory work examine how professionals use generative AI, how cognitive offloading shapes confidence and decision-making, and how organizations can design AI adoption strategies that strengthen rather than weaken human agency.

With more than 1,400 stages across North America and Europe, and leadership experience spanning Deloitte, CGI, entrepreneurship, and neurotechnology, Sarah advises institutions on responsible AI adoption, cognitive resilience, leadership performance, and the human side of technological transformation.

A recurring guest expert on NBC, CBC, CTV, BBC, and other major media platforms, Sarah is known for translating complex ideas about the brain, AI, and behavior into practical strategies for executives, teams, and organizations navigating accelerated change. Her work centers on a single mission: To help leaders future-proof the human brain in the age of AI.
