- Elon Musk’s Neuralink and other advanced brain computer interfaces have the potential to transform our lives for the better. But they also come with complex ethical challenges.
In this collaboration with Elma Hajric, Risk Bites dives into five ethical challenges associated with Neuralink-like advanced brain machine interfaces and explores what responsible innovation might look like for a "fitbit for the brain."
Elma is currently a PhD student in the Human and Social Dimension of Science and Technology program in Arizona State University’s School for the Future of Innovation in Society.
The video is part of Risk Bites series on Public Interest Technology - technology in the service of public good.

I’m surprised you’ve listed all these ethical challenges without mentioning the tens (and eventually possibly hundreds) of innocent monkeys that are either dying horrible deaths at Neuralink labs or having to live with irreversible brain damage “for the greater good.” Do the rights of animals not warrant a mention?
And besides, why are people comfortable with entrusting incredibly dangerous neurosurgical experiments to, of all people, a fucking aerospace engineer with no expertise in the field whatsoever??? His past work experience is with PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Company, most of which themselves have questionable intentions. But where along this line is any indication that Elon Musk is even remotely qualified to lead or run a company that takes on brain surgery operations?
Some people point out his eventual success with his other companies, which in their own right is laudable. But the odds change dramatically when dealing with living things. If a car, a tunnel or a rocket malfunctions, it can be repaired, replaced, phased out or upgraded whereas with animals, any screw-up means irreparable brain damage if you’re lucky, and death if you’re not. Why and how Neuralink is allowed to get away with any of this (even at the developmental stage) is beyond me.
An aerospace engineer who owns a company that’s outsourcing its expertise to neuroscientists.
Some of these monkeys have died as a result of infection from the BCI implant. Rather that be some of the first disabled persons trying BCIs? Animal testing is necessary. BCIs are happening whether we like it or not.
Pretty sure few people consider any of this “seemingly harmless” to begin with.
Everyone who is excited about this technology needs to see this.
It is a wonderful thing but, the seemingly impossible capabilities of the the thing are so vast, they challenge the status quo in which many rules of society are written. It may cause a very deep state of disfunctionality in society if not RULED and used correctly.
Even if "used correctly", it still remains unnecessary, unethical and harmful.
I'll get Gen 2 or 3. I'll wait to see what kind of brain injuries or magnetic field interference will okay, what happens when you get an xray or CT scan on a small battery in your skull.
Some of this technology is being tested now.
Yeah on me
@@danboi9337 what country are you in?
UK
Do you not think sometimes it’s just a BCI is to help live and push our selves out of being somewhat sub human. Seriously do you think as a T.I all that’s happened is that there are people who care n have upgraded you with out you knowing till you have the revelation that tech has been used to wake us. ?
@@danboi9337 yeah I hear it’s really bad over there for Targeted Individuals. UK, US, China, India and Philippines are terrible when it comes to targeting
I dont want adds in my brain, and no it will not be an option once it is a neccesity to stay competitive in the job market
Believe me... this is allready possible.. that is the most deadly wepon on the earth
I wish there was a spiritual equivalent to the end result of nuerolink,, tech May bring us closer to unity or divide us even more, the genie is already out of the bottle
protect privacy.
This is not only unnecessary but unethical on multiple levels! I do not want nor intend to become a robot or merge with machines.
Then don’t implant 🤷♂️
I was forced to take an implant at 316 east chestnut st Louisville ky in July of 2012 at the ccc jail. I've been a test subject for the last 5 years. I have an x ray showing the chip in Louisville. I moved out of ky to avoid being set up by the Louisville Metro Police Department. If your from Louisville you know what I'm talking about....fake cia training center. I know the name of the tech that updated the system in the basement(braingate system) help me put a stop to this inhumane testing and torture. I have the chip, I have an x ray. I eyewitnesseed the braingate system being used. My family and friends as well as councilors believe me. I have called the police departments. (LMPD and Sheriff) as well as the ombudsman. They all know what I'm talking about, but it's out of their jurisdiction. It's corrections jurisdiction.They never answer the phone. Ever.
How'd you end up in jail?
"data worth it's weight in gold" - so, worthless, correct? 🙂
Ha - you caught that - I was intentionally messing with the cliche there :)
Oh, but information on the other hand!... (Dont tell me how much)
Unfortunately we would be like a robot
No, I do not.
Better, humans with ggod memory without the hassle of learning
Uhh, you dont make everyone get a brain computer interface for "equity". The entire world needs to drop the "equity" crap.
Uhh why drop the "equity crap"? What is wrong with making this world more equal for all? Wouldn't it improve the happiness of most instead of the few, hence why I do not see the logic to your argument. I'm not pulling the piss, I'm just intrigued and like to learn from others perspectives 😅
@@biancadenby3363 because equity is "equality of outcome". It is an IMPOSSIBLE goal. Equal opportunity, great, all for it. Equity, no f'n way. You have to bring everyone down and redistribute income for that. Its easier to bring everyone down instead of lifting them up. Making everyone "equally miserable" is not a respectable solution. Work harder and strive for equality, it will definitely have better outcomes for all.
Well said, equality is equal outcome, equiti is equal input so that everyone starts in the same place
Depraved.
