Computers can do this danger to people

Scientific experts warn that computers can read and delete people's thoughts .

In 1634, the playwright John Milton said: "I can't touch the freedom in my mind" (original: "Not able to touch the freedom of my mind"). However, nearly 400 years later, scientific experts warned that computers could read, erase human thoughts, our brain privacy is at stake.

Scientists have developed devices that can tell whether a right-wing or left-wing person in politics. Experiments show that they can read people's minds with accuracy up to 70%.

Facebook recently revealed that they secretly use technology to read the minds of netizens to be able to type with thoughts. Medical researchers connected the brain of a paralyzed man with a computer, allowing him to stimulate the arm muscles so that he could move it and feed himself.

Under these circumstances, two biomedical ethics are calling for a new human rights law to ensure people are protected, including "freedom of awareness" and "right to integrity" .

The article in their journal Life Sciences and Society and Policy emphasized "unprecedented opportunities" from "widespread dissemination of cheaper, expandable and easy-to-use neurological applications." use " makes neuroscience penetrate and bind to our daily lives.

However, they warn that "malicious brain hacking" and "dangerous use of medical nerve technology" may require redefining mental integrity.

The two researchers warn that these techniques are so sophisticated that our minds can be read or intervened without us knowing: "Unauthorized entry into human privacy necessarily related to coercion, because they can be done under the consciousness of a person ".

Therefore, the two moralists proposed 4 new human rights laws: the right to freedom of awareness, the right to privacy, the right to mental integrity and the right to psychological continuity.

The two moralists have proposed laws with the goal of protecting "human right to freedom of awareness" and "right of integrity" of humanity.

Professor Roberto Andorno, a researcher at the University of Zurich law school and co-author of the paper, said: "Brain imaging technology has reached" process "that one must discuss the legality of For example, they should be used as a tool to assess criminal responsibility or even risk recidivism.

Consumer companies are using brain imagery for "neuromarketing" to understand consumer behavior and elicit desired responses from customers. There are also tools like "brain decoder" that can turn brain data into images, text or sound.

All of this can pose a threat to personal freedom that we want to address with the development of four new human rights laws. "

The remaining researcher - Marcello Ienc, from the Institute of Biological Medicine at the University of Basel, said: "The mind is considered the ultimate refuge of personal freedom and self-determination, but advances in engineering Neurosurgery, brain imaging and neurological technology are at risk.

Our proposed law will allow people to reject forced and invasive neuroscience, protect the privacy of data collected by neural technology, and protect physical and mental aspects. the mind's mind from being damaged by misuse of nerve technology ".

He acknowledged that advances like worries sounded pretty much like something in the science fiction world. But, "nerve technology in famous stories has become a reality. We need to be prepared to deal with the effects that this technology will have on individual freedom. we".
