As sci-fi thriller "Inception" topped box offices across the world, audiences were delighted and appalled by its futuristic story of a criminal gang invading people's dreams to steal valuable data.
Opposition senator Guido Girardi, one of the authors of the legislation, is worried about technology -- whether algorithms, bionic implants or some other gadgetry -- that could threaten "the essence of humans, their autonomy, their freedom and their free will." In 2013, then-US president Barack Obama promoted the BRAIN initiative, which aimed to study the causes of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and epilepsy.
The Chilean bill contains four main fields of legislation: guarding the human mind's data, or neuro-data; fixing limits to the neuro-technology of reading and especially writing in brains; setting an equitable distribution and access to these technologies; and putting limits on neuro-algorithms. The science has opened the possibility of designing hybrid humans with artificially enhanced cognitive abilities.
Yuste considers neuro-technology a "tsunami" that humanity will have to deal with, which is why people need to be prepared.
