The rapid development of brain-reading technology, as pursued by companies like Facebook and Neuralink, poses profound ethical and legal challenges. With the potential to decode and manipulate thoughts, these advancements raise concerns about privacy, cognitive liberty, mental integrity, and psychological continuity. Neuroethicists advocate for new human rights laws to protect individuals from potential misuse and exploitation of their brain data. However, the pace of technological innovation underscores the urgency of addressing these issues before it’s too late, as the consequences of unchecked neurotechnology could be irreversible and far-reaching.
