We do see the technology starting to be used in some ways that are more like involuntary neural surveillance. We have a moment, before the terms of service are set by others, where we can have a voice in how it is used and deployed in society.Īpplications around workplace brain surveillance and use of the technology by authoritarian governments including as an interrogation tool I find particularly provocative and chilling. The technology is at an inflection point: use is ascending steeply but it is not yet mainstream. There are profound risks from both the commodification of the data but also what it means to have your brain activity monitored by others and what that does to freedom of thought. There are a lot of real-world applications and major tech companies like Meta are investing in it. There have been big improvements in the electrodes and in training algorithms to find associations using large datasets and AI. While the technology can’t literally read our complex thoughts, there are at least some parts of our brain activity that can be decoded. I don’t think so and, furthermore, we dismiss it at our peril. But it is also way ahead of where things are. Technology that can read our minds sounds terrifying. Nita Farahany, a professor of law and philosophy at Duke University who studies the ethical, legal and social ramifications of emerging technologies, is sounding the alarm. While the initial use may be to help people with paralysis to type, the grand idea is for augmentation to be available to all.
Meanwhile, firms such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink are working on next-generation brain implants that could do the same thing, only with far greater power. These “wearables” are finding traction not only with consumers who want to track and improve their mental wellness but with companies, governments and militaries for all sorts of other uses. Devices with electrodes placed on the head can record neural signals from the brain and apply low electric current to modulate them. Unable to connect to the device remotely.O ur brainwave activity can be monitored and modified by neurotechnology.
