AI’s next frontier: The future of brain-computer interfaces for good

Context

This panel brings together leading experts in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to discuss the latest advancements, ethical implications, and future directions of neurotechnology. This is a crucial conversation at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and societal impact.

Objective

To explore the role of neurotechnology in enhancing AI safety, address societal risks such as privacy and equality, and discuss the metrics and incentives for responsible development and commercialization.

At the intersection of technology and human intelligence lies Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). These technologies have the possibility of advancing our understanding of the brain, enable novel medical treatments and redefine human-machine interaction. At the same time, concerns have been raised about their effect on privacy, autonomy, and the future of human identity in an increasingly digital world.

 

This workshop gathers leading figures in neuroscience and AI who will share the latest advancements in BMI, their envisioned impact, and current discussions on BMI governance and regulation. As we stand on the cusp of a new era in neurotechnology, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage with the minds at the forefront of AI and BMI, identify effective ways to steer the advancement of the field, and envision a future where technology and human intelligence converge for the greater good.
