A myriad of ethical issues accompany the Neuralink trial, including consent and freedom of thought
“Those risks include threatening our last bastion of privacy, in our brains and mental privacy. Which is why we need to act quickly to secure to everyone a right to cognitive liberty, the right to self-determination over our brains and mental experiences. As a right to access and use neurotechnologies, but also a right from interference with our mental privacy and freedom of thought.”
“I also believe we should develop technologies and tools that support cognitive liberty and education to help cultivate cognitive liberty in our everyday lives.” “Neuralink is the first step but we should expect more such transformations to how we transform thoughts into action and it’s crucial that we address these implications now.”
Neuralink has announced its intention to enhance and augment the able-bodied human experience. In April, the company tweeted: “We want to surpass able-bodied human performance with our technology.” The FDA seal of approval “represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people”, Neuralink said in a tweet.
