Advances in neuroscience and artificial intelligence are converging to give us an affordable and soon-to-be widely available generation of consumer neurotech devices—a catchall term for gadgets that, with the help of dry electrodes, connect human brains to computers and the ever-more-sophisticated algorithms that analyze the brain-wave data.
Thousands of companies worldwide, in industries such as construction, trucking, and aviation, already use neurotech devices to ensure that their employees are wide awake. It’s early days yet, but tens of thousands of workers are already using early-stage devices, and Big Tech is investing heavily to replace peripherals such as the computer mouse and the keyboard with neural interfaces integrated into headsets, earbuds, and wrist-worn devices. So now is the time to start thinking in practical terms about how best to engage with the world that’s opening before us, in ways that thoughtfully consider the interests of employees, employers, and society.
Given the lack of societal norms and laws regarding tracking brain activity in general, for now companies are simply creating their own rules about fatigue monitoring. Some use SmartCap and similar technologies to optimize employees’ working conditions; others are likely to use the technologies punitively, because that’s typically how employers approach workplace surveillance.
And the same for belief in the government.
What a no brainer statement.
