Computer – Brain – Interaction

To ensure the safety and rights in connection with the development of tomorrow’s technology requires wider access to specialized knowledge than the current global political, military and industrial climate permitting.

Brain-Computer-Integration and Artificial-Intelligence (BCI-AI) offers new opportunities for manipulation and control of man and must be debated.

The scanty information available from research and the military industry does not provide enough evidence to obtain a deeper and more detailed description of the technique and potential hazards in the development process.

Detailed scrutiny of the authorities and human rights organizations are necessary tools to insure against abuses and violations.

When you now move into BCI AI directly in the human brain is the available information is inadequate. The industry sees authorities, businesses and individuals as future consumers. This attitude has its roots in the military industry’s own targets for research and development and does not place special emphasis on issues around health and safety. Research priority to industrial and military-strategic advantages.

Information in the public / private research and development shows that the different sponsors are trying to do this type of technology, not only possible, but fully functional outside of public awareness and debate.

How soon “spin” – technology is ready for the public market is uncertain. To develop among different system of diagnosis and treatment of:

Psychiatric disorders, brain disorders, physical and mental trauma, and learning, behavior, education and communication as well as schemes for improving brain function, intelligence and capacity.

The details of today’s practical applications and reliability of the BCI-AI for the use of intelligent purpose is classified.

Most likely it will take decades before it reached the target with a global fully functional, economical reliability with BCI-AI.

This research is now given top priority both in terms of financial and human resources when the research side sees unprecedented revenue-generating opportunities in the future.

A surveillance based on BCI-AI is now transforming the military weapons, intelligence and communications to civilian activities.

Recommended precautionary principles will never be able to provide adequate protection for the individual and deprive society from harm when the military industry is pushing for further development of the BCI-AI. The only way to test the technology safe for the future is on site and in real life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_Principle

Professional technical supervision and control from the research side is well-organized. But the effects on society are poorly or not at all identified, it is too complicated and expensive to implement in full scale.

There is no policy and practice in terms of responsibility when large privately owned companies alone or in cooperation with public authorities finance research – and development project that entails experiments on humans. Nor is any assessment of public or national säkerhet.Informerat consent, privacy, human rights and environment are not considered.

Broader cooperation and a more open dialogue between representatives from industry, military, security police, government, human rights organizations and the public, is essential to try to improve the protection of the individual and the safety of society during this development process.

The research in BCI-AI are potential devastating effects on humans and the environment.

The debate requires trained personnel at various levels who can provide information and advice.

For victims are psychological and medical assistance, financial support and legal assistance necessary. These functions within the BCI-AI research is not in the existing public systems.

In the present situation it is difficult to create a solution in which a law could protect people exposed to research and development in these experiments.

Governments and authorities need to create better works for a broader understanding and openness about the problem, not least to help those who are involuntarily exposed to research and development projects within the BCI-AI

Knowledge, understanding and recognition by the government with actions and legislation are necessary.
