Abstract: New Ethics is needed for Brain-Computer Interface
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is in its very starting stage, but the societal challenges that we will face and the risks to individuals that will surface , can be foreseen already now.
A think- tank originally put by President Obama consisting of technology experts in neuro-technology and AI from Academia and industry, philosophers and legal experts, and representative of professional societies ( like myself) assembled ito draft a new Ethics for the new technology .
In my presentation I’ll elaborate on Brain -Computer interface and the risks involved , and and will present the rules we drafted divided to four categories of risks . I shall mention the implementations process and include a case study . The possibility of a quantum computer makes the need fit a new Ethics a more significant task .
The abstract of the work was published in NATURE, and the full article in the Journal of Ethics of neuro technology
