Human Fusions: Ethical and Social Issues Raised by Neural-Digital Interfaces
October 20, 2019
8 a.m. - 9 a.m. CDT
Session Description
Human-machine interfaces raise important ethical and social issues. Innovations promise to restore, alter, or enhance function in humans, but also may exacerbate existing social tensions around equality, identity, security, privacy, and access. This press conference will address questions about the technology's impact to society and the conditions for its governance. In a world of rapidly expanding human-technology symbiotic unions, we explore how to keep humanity at the center.
