Leading AI thinkers have consistently identified a critical gap: AI lacks a systematic and scalable understanding of human motivation. Today’s models can predict what a person is likely to do next without any account of why they are motivated to do it. AgileBrain Motivation Intelligence fills that gap.

Join Dr. JD Pincus, Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Bill Nolen, Chief Scientist, and Jamie Thompson, Chief AI Officer, to explore how AgileBrain Motivation Intelligence delivers the “why” behind human behavior and enables more powerful AI prediction. In this interactive session you’ll experience first-hand how neuroscience-based AgileBrain Exercises capture human motivational signal, and how the AgileBrain Framework interprets those signals to provide that missing world model at scale — informing more genuine, personalized and powerful AI outputs.

What we’ll cover

  • The 12 Motivational Needs that drive human behavior
  • The limitation of AI models predicting at scale
  • The challenge of capturing motivation signal using alternate modalities
  • The power of images to capture motivation signal
  • How motivation signal delivers more powerful AI prediction
  • The emerging power of J-Space and AI memory

What you’ll leave with

  • A better understanding of human motivation and behavior
  • Your own personal AgileBrain results
  • Insights into how human motivation signal can enhance your work
  • A signed copy of JD’s book, The Emotionally Agile Brain (in-person attendees only)

AI predicts what people do.
AgileBrain knows the why.
