Abstract :
The intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) represents a turning point in technological progress, presenting previously unheard-of chances to better comprehend and improve human cognition while also posing significant ethical issues. The ethical implications of AI-driven neuro-technologies are examined in this work, "The Neural Frontier: AI`s Relentless Encroachment into the Human Mind," through a tripartite technique that includes a systematic literature review, an interdisciplinary ethical analysis, and a speculative risk assessment. Our findings highlight the importance of brain privacy and cognitive liberty as fundamental rights, highlighting the need for strong governance frameworks and data security measures. The possibility of AI systems perpetuating biases in neuroscientific applications, the potential for unequal access to cognitive augmentation to exacerbate societal disparities, and the blurring of moral duty as AI influences human cognition are among the major ethical problems that we uncover. The study makes the case for the creation of frameworks for equitable cognitive augmentation, neuro-ethically-aligned AI, and adaptive governance models. It highlights how important it is to collaborate across disciplines, involve the public, and incorporate neuro-ethics into scientific education. We are not just developing technology but also redefining the limits of human identity and awareness as we traverse this cerebral frontier, striking a balance between the enormous potential of AI in neuroscience and the necessity to protect human dignity, autonomy, and cognitive liberty. In an era of unparalleled technological advancement, this undertaking necessitates moral discernment, scientific probity, and a dedication to safeguarding the fundamental principles that characterize our humanity.
