Learnivore founder, Emily Burns, considers the future impact of A.I. on our humanity, and how it may function as a catalyst that creates a renaissance of creativity and connectedness—or as an opiate that lets us slide into oblivion.


Emily Burns is the founder of Learnivore, the fastest growing marketplace for private instructors in the U.S. She is a graduate of Sweet Briar College, with majors in biochemistry and music, and a drop-out of Rockefeller University where she worked on a Ph.D. In neuroscience until she realized she hated research. She lives in Boston’s South End with her husband and three children, and is an avid cook, reader, triathlete, and at least 76 other things.
