Jorge D. M. Mateus, CEPS PhD candidate, writes about brain-machine interfaces, some of the main ethical challenges these technologies raise and the need to involve philosophers and ethicists in the ongoing debate.
“…It should be emphasised that the rapid development of these technologies requires the attention of society in general and of philosophers and ethicists in particular, in order to find viable solutions to the challenges identified here and, if possible, to bring them into the public debate.”
