Health in the era of AI and neuroscience: ethical challenges for autonomy and freedom

Health in the era of AI and neuroscience: ethical challenges for autonomy and freedom - 2025.
8
Neuroscience and AI have specific characteristics that have a potentially “disruptive” impact on health: the discussion within ethics committees focused on science and technology concerns ethical challenges and the analysis of regulatory gaps. New technologies force us to ascertain whether our philosophical conception of human freedom is theoretically coherent and applicable in practice, or whether technology demands that we rethink it. These technologies entail the risk of “neglecting subjectivity”, by entrusting an important part of social experience to the science of brain data. By leaving out important dimensions of identity, such neglect can undermine the dignity and autonomy of human beings.
