UNESCO: AI-driven neurotechnology ‘on steroids’ needs regulation
UNESCO is calling for global regulation of neurotechnology, which it says is advancing rapidly and threatens human rights. The increased investment in AI-based programs that can read people’s minds and store neural data has raised concerns about its use. UNESCO will develop a “universal ethical framework” for neurotechnology, which connects computers with the brain and increasingly uses artificial intelligence to analyse neural activity. The market for neurotech devices is projected to exceed $24BN by 2027.
