Machine poets. ChatGPT fails. Neurological surveillance. Brain implants that treat depression. Is it scary? Cool? Let’s firehose some questions at Duke Law professor, neuro and bioethicist, author and TED speaker Dr. Nita Farahany. She explains the history of AI, the dawn of chatbots, what’s changed recently, the potential for good, the possible perils, how different lawmakers are stepping in, and whether or not this is scary dinner party conversation. Do you have feelings about AI and brain implants? Hopefully, and we talk about why. Buy Dr. Nita Farahany’s books: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-battle-for-your-brain-defending-the-right-to-think-freely-in-the-age-of-neurotechnology-nita-a-farahany/18410880?ean=9781250272959" target="_blank">The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology</a> (2023) and <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-impact-of-behavioral-sciences-on-criminal-law-nita-farahany/9516649?ean=9780199773305" target="_blank">The Impact of Behavioral Sciences on Criminal Law</a> (2009)Dr. Farahany’s 2023 TED Talk: <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/nita_farahany_your_right_to_mental_privacy_in_the_age_of_brain_sensing_tech?language=en" target="_blank">Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech</a>Follow Dr. Farahany on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nitaafarahany/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@profnita" target="_blank">TikTok</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/NitaFarahany" target="_blank">Twitter</a>A donation was made to <a href="https://www.hrw.org/" target="_blank">Human Rights Watch</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neurotechnology" target="_blank">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies" target="_blank">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/wgastrike" target="_blank">Field Trip: A Hollywood Visit to the Writers Guild Strike Line</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neuropathology" target="_blank">Neuropathology (CONCUSSIONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/adhd" target="_blank">Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/molecularneurobiologyencore" target="_blank">Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/radiology" target="_blank">Radiology (X-RAY VISION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/futurology" target="_blank">Futurology (THE FUTURE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gizmology" target="_blank">Gizmology (ROBOTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/diabetology" target="_blank">Diabetology (DIABETES)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors" target="_blank">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras" target="_blank">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, masks, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jarrettsleeper.com/" target="_blank">Jarrett Sleeper</a> of <a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/" target="_blank">MindJam Media</a> and Mark David Christenson Transcripts by Emily White of <a href="https://www.thewordary.com/" target="_blank">The Wordary</a>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
