Description
The Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) is developing the “Neurotechnology Compass” (the NeuroTech Compass – NTC).
The NTC is aimed at equipping decision-makers with the necessary navigation tools to best support research in neuroscience and neurotechnology and their applications in society. By understanding the impacts and existing mechanisms to govern them, governments will be able to put in place the necessary mechanisms to protect individuals from potential misuses.
The ZHAW Centre for Artificial Intelligence provides expert advice on the current state-of-the-art in neurotechnologies, their potential impact and existing governance frameworks.
