@sineadbovell: Thoughts are already being used as criminal evidence in some countries. Professor Nita Farahany, author of The Battle for Your Brain, is one of the world’s leading experts on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of emerging technologies and their impact on our brains. In this episode, we discuss: • why the brain is the “holy grail” for tech companies • what these devices may soon be able to decode • the massive privacy and ethical implications • what your brain data can reveal, even from consumer devices like meditation headbands • and why “freedom of thought” is suddenly up for debate 🎧Watch the full episode of @IGQwithsineadbovell on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do these incriminating systems take into account anxiety, OCD, and other mind altering conditions? People can be falsely accused because of their vivid imagination and fear, will the system clock what's fact and what's fiction?

This is horrific. What if I have a dream of a similar place. What if I had been in that room before the crime. This is absolutely horrifying.

I remember this on Black Mirror. The detective had a device where she could see witnesses past thoughts. No thank you.😳

A good cognitive neuroscientist could make absolute mincemeat of that. Are they recognizing “the” crime scene? Or “a” crime scene? Have they seen something similar on CSI or read something akin to it n a book? We’re just not there yet to be ready for court.

It’s wild to use this when we don’t even know anything about consciousness. More junk science like bite mark analysis

What if you recognize a specific item in a photo? Like a McDonald’s take out bag? Or a location? Seems fraught with high risk of false positive

What if you just reciognize the place or the person or it reminds of of something…lots of room for error

I wonder how this works when a “scene” is similar to those that have been seen online or in movies, imagination etc.

Just so I have this correctly: the people in Power, who actually perform egregious criminal acts, Don't have to worry, but the people with no power who think about justice for these criminals ought to be concerned?? Ok got it

Ppl are being put under investigation and being prosecuted for not committing an actual crime. Ppl are being put under investigation and being prosecuted through social media platforms that has AI gov contracts for the way they think and not by what they do. It’s absolutely nothing physical about social media.
