International Conference

Today the rapid development of neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our ability to study, interpret, and influence mental states, raising profound ethical questions. Advances in fields such as neuroimaging, brain-computer interfaces, and AI-powered cognitive analysis offer unprecedented possibilities for healthcare, education, criminal justice, and beyond. However, these developments challenge existing research ethics frameworks, calling for urgent discussions to ensure they evolve in step with technological progress. This symposium aims to foster dialogue on adapting research ethics to keep pace with innovations in neurotechnology and AI. By
bringing together interdisciplinary experts in neuroscience, AI, neuroethics, and research governance, the event will explore strategies to safeguard freedoms, rights, and ethical integrity in cutting-edge research. In addition to invited speakers, we welcome abstract submissions for in-person oral presentations. While the focus is on neurotechnology and AI, we also encourage talks addressing ethical challenges posed by other emerging technologies with implications for autonomy, privacy, and human agency.

Organized by: ATLAS Bioethics Center in collaboration with the Andalusian School of Public Health

The submission deadline is May 15th, 2025.
