    The intersection of neurotechnology and AI brings promise for human flourishing in many areas and around the world, but new challenges and risks also emerge. One of these challenges is the enormous amount of data that neurotechnology obtains (i.e., neural data) that is not only being used to fuel AI but is also creating Big Data (as an entirely new, complex scenario in the massive processing of personal data and expanding the boundaries of human cognition and consciousness), which poses a threat to human dignity. The question is whether and how to regulate the collection, storage, interpretation, use, and reproduction of neural data. Therefore, prudent, ethical, proactive and relevant regulatory frameworks are needed to adequately oversee the design, development and use of neurotechnology, AI, as well as the use of derived information to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms. In response, Mexico introduced the General Law on Neurorights and Neurotechnologies (GLNN) bill, which was adapted to Mexican regulations, institutions and systems. Among other things, the GLNN introduces cyberneurosecurity to protect neural data, and focuses on transparency, integrity, non-discrimination, privacy, identity, profiling, autonomy and algorithmic bias. The GLNN sets an international precedent as a pioneering, extensive, and comprehensive national law that can serve as a potential model for the realization of regulatory frameworks on the protection of human rights against emerging threats from neurotechnology, AI and Big Data. This webinar will aim to address some ethical and human rights issues and concerns related to neurotechnologies, AI, neural data and cybersecurity, and how they have been addressed in the GLNN bill in Mexico.

    Learning objectives:

    1. Examine the importance, threats, and challenges of neurotechnologies, and the impact of AI on these technologies
    2. Discuss the significance and ethical implications of neural data as personal sensitive data, including its role in neurotechnologies and the associated rights.
    3. Assess the critical role of cybersecurity in protecting Human Rights and fundamental freedoms in the age of AI and neurotechnologies.
    4. Identify the benefits of regulating neurotechnology, AI and data under a framework of high ethical and human rights standards through the analysis of the Mexican Neurorights and Neurotechnology Bill.

    This live event includes a 30-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.
