About the event
Neurotechnology is increasingly converging with artificial intelligence, creating new possibilities for inference and adaptive inference. As these systems move into clinics and wider societal settings, they also raise important questions about Trust, Identity, Privacy, Security and Safety (TIPSS).
This two-day Innovation Forum will bring together researchers, practitioners and other experts across neurotechnology, AI, neuroscience, social science, ethics, law, policy and related fields.
The forum will combine short expert provocations, interdisciplinary discussion, scenario-based exploration and small-group work, to develop a research agenda for responsible neurotechnology and neuro-AI.
