How Neurotechnology Could Endanger Human Rights

Explore the potential dangers of neurotechnology to human rights in this thought-provoking TEDxSydneySalon talk by Allan McCay. Delve into the impressive recent advances in neurotechnology, driven by investments from powerful companies and militaries, and their implications for various aspects of society. Consider how this technology could impact criminal justice, workplace surveillance, and data privacy. Examine the inadequacy of existing legal protections, such as The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in addressing the ethical, legal, and social challenges posed by neurotechnology. Learn from McCay's expertise as the Deputy Director of The Sydney Institute of Criminology and an Academic Fellow at the University of Sydney's Law School, as he argues for the need to update our legal frameworks to safeguard human rights in the face of rapidly advancing neurotechnology.
