CTOnews.com, July 17 (Xinhua)-- the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) warned last week that neural technology, including brain implantation or scanning (brain-computer interface), is undergoing "rapid development", which may lead to artificial intelligence manipulating the human brain, and that the combination of this technology and AI poses a threat to "mental privacy."

Mariagrazia Squicciarini, an economist at the agency who specializes in artificial intelligence, said the AI algorithm could process and learn data "in an unprecedented way", injecting new life into recent neural technology, just like injecting CTOnews.com with steroids.

In addition, Gabriela Ramos, the agency's assistant director-general for social and human sciences, also pointed out that the integration of neural technology and artificial intelligence will have far-reaching and potentially harmful effects. "We are on our way to a world where algorithms will enable us to decode people's psychological processes and directly manipulate the brain mechanisms behind their intentions, emotions and decisions."

But even so, Squicciarini stressed, "that doesn't mean neurotechnology is a bad thing. Because it allows the blind to see again, or the paralyzed to walk again."

CTOnews.com has previously reported that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said in June that his brain-computer interface startup Neuralink plans to conduct its first human trial this year. Musk said Neuralink plans to implant a device in a quadriplegic or amputated patient "later this year."

In terms of regulation, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also said in June that some AI executives had proposed the establishment of a global AI regulatory body similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which he expressed support.

In addition, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said at a conference in Paris that it had begun to develop a global "ethical framework" to deal with human relations problems brought about by neurotechnology.
