Podcast: Should We Put AI-Enabled Tech in Our Brains?
Welcome to Season 3 of Entanglements! In our first episode, we discuss neural implants and AI with Judy Illes, a professor of neurology and neuroethics at the University of British Columbia, and Joseph J. Fins, a physician scientist and medical ethicist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.
Résumé
Neural implants overview
Neural implants are small electronic devices surgically placed inside the brain or on its surface to interact with the nervous system.
These implants, often called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), can read brain activity or send signals to control external devices.
The article discusses a podcast episode examining whether society should adopt AI-enabled versions of these technologies.
BCIs are not new; early versions were tested in the 1990s to help people with severe paralysis regain movement or communication abilities.
Modern BCIs use AI to process brain signals more efficiently, potentially enabling new applications like memory enhancement or mood regulation.
However, their use raises ethical and practical questions about safety, consent, and long-term effects on brain function.
