There has been a lot of discussion recently about what impact developments in artificial intelligence might have on the military, but there is also a growing amount of talk regarding how emerging advancements in human intelligence will influence tomorrow’s wars – much thanks to remarkable work occurring in neuroscience. Fortunately, we have one of the world’s experts right here at Duke Law, Professor Nita Farahany . At our annualLENS conference earlier this year she gave an absolutely mesmerizing presentation entitled “The Legal and Ethical Complexity of Developing ‘Super Soldiers’ ” What did she address? Here’s an overview:
Neuro-monitoring (The quantified self)
Neuro-modulation (The “enhanced” self)
Neuro-projection (The extended self)
Sound too daunting for you? Here’s where Nita’s teaching gifts come into play: somehow she manages to translate these complex topics into understandable language for the layperson. She’s not only brilliant and witty, she also knows how to communicate – she makes science intriguing to every listener (really!!!). I guarantee you that watching her fascinating presentation is time truly well spent.
This is a must-watch video for anyone interested in the future of war! Again, you can find it here .
