WEF speaker: Society 'should want' mind-reading devices
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2023 | Eric Utter

Posted on 01/23/2023 6:31:52 AM PST by MtnClimber

Nita Farahany, recently speaking at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, touted the “extraordinary promise” of the use of mind-reading devices in the workplace and elsewhere. Farahany noted that the devices, in some forms, are already here. The legal ethicist and author of The Battle for Your Brain gave a talk titled “Ready for Brain Transparency?” She cited existing consumer-wearable devices such as “headbands, hats that have sensors that can pick up your brain wave activity, earbuds, headphones, tiny tattoos that you can wear behind your ear -- we can pick up emotional states.” Kinda creepy if you ask me.

During a WEF “Transforming Medicine, Redefining Life” panel discussion, Farahany said that this technology will soon be integrated into “multi-functional devices,” so that -- for example -- the same earbuds used to take conference calls and listen to music would be laced with EEG sensors to pick up brain waves. The “legal ethicist” stated that it would then be possible to “pick up and decode faces that you’re seeing in your mind, simple shapes, numbers, your pin number.” What could go wrong?

Farahany predicted that in the “near-term future,” such devices will become “the primary way with which we interact with all of the rest of our technology,” and pointed out that major tech companies like Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta are already “investigating ways to make these devices universally applicable.” She claimed this would allow a person to, for example, “simply swipe with your mind” instead of with a mouse or keyboard.

Farahany stressed the potential such technology has to solve workplace problems and cited as an example truckers who can inadvertently take lives by falling asleep on the road.

Don’t put one of these on Hunter Biden. I don’t think anyone wants to know what he is thinking.

Does Nita Farahany want everyone to be able to read her evil mind, or would this be just a one-way street? Inquiring minds want to know.

Who needs a ‘Mind-Reading Device’ when they will control everything that is put into the mind in the first place?................

Actually the WEF is mostly a think tank. You might want to check out BEV. They will be financing start-ups and small businesses.

An article from this morning. More brain technology, for medical reasons. Check out the pictures, one looks like a bandaid, the other like he’s plugged-in.
