Update: 2024-09-24
Description
Today's episode is from another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, TED Talks Daily. If you missed our newest episode, you can listen to it HERE. The TED AI Show will be back with new episodes soon!
You've heard Nita Farahany on this show before (and if you haven't, check the episode out HERE). Nita's the neurotech and AI ethicist who is calling for the legal recognition of our "cognitive liberty." In her TED Talk, Nita shares examples of how neurotechnology can let you track your own brain activity and help you deeply understand your health -- but why without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions and desires could be at risk of exploitation. Nita details some of the field's promising potential uses -- like tracking and treating diseases from depression to epilepsy -- and shares concerns about who collects our brain data and how they plan to use it, ultimately calling for widespread recognition of cognitive liberty as we connect our brains and minds to technology.
