The use of neurotechnology for the medical sector is strictly regulated.

  As wearable devices begin to tap into our mental states, UN experts warn that without ethical safeguards, the right to freedom of thought could be the latest casualty of unchecked innovation . It seems like science fiction, or even magic: the ability to communicate, control a computer or move a robotic limb via the power of thought . However, it’s not only possible, it’s already transforming the lives of patients with severe disabilities. In 2024 , an audience at a UN conference in Geneva sat astounded as a young man in Portugal with “ locked in syndrome ” – a neurological disorder that left him unable to move any part of his body – was able to “speak” to them, using a brain-computer interface (BCI) that translated his thoughts into words, spoken in his voice, and answer their questions. This is a striking example of the growing field of neurotechnology , which holds out great hope for those living with disabilities and mental disorder such as Parkinson’s disease, epileps...

Neurorights Adoption.

  There is no "UN Neurorights treaty" yet, but there is a growing international push for one due to advancements in neurotechnology. Proponents advocate for a framework of "neurorights" to protect human dignity and autonomy, focusing on areas like mental privacy, cognitive liberty, and equal access to neuro-enhancements. This movement has led to actions like the 2022 UN Human Rights Council resolution on neurotechnologie s and a 2021 constitutional amendment in Chile, but a specific UN treaty has not been finalized. Key concepts and calls to action What are neurorights ?  They are a proposed set of rights to protect the mind and brain from potential misuse of neurotechnologies that can access, monitor, or alter neural processes. Advocacy : The movement is driven by the need to safeguard against the potential threats posed by neurotechnologies and to ensure their ethical development and use. Proposed neurorights : Some commonly discussed rights include: Mental priv...

An Ideology of Death.

Image
Public lecture on Transhumanism and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Hillsdale College . held by Aaron Kheriaty from the Ethics and Public Policy Center . This speech was given during the seminar on “ Artificial Intelligence ” The philosophy of death attempts to determine what it is for people and other living things to die and to be mortal, how and the extent to which death, mortality, and posthumous events benefit or harm those who die, and the morality of killing. Transhumanism is the belief that humanity can evolve beyond its limitations — chiefly, death — using technology. It is deeply misguided. AI is a technology that allows you to generate, classify, and perform tasks like image analysis and speech recognition. AI technology enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. Transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement advocating for the use of technology to enhance human capabi...
