Brain-computer interfaces pose significant ethical risks if they allow technology to directly manipulate human thoughts and intentions.

“if now there's a a brain computer interface that is not merely reading out my intentions to get something done, but actually causing me to have intentions and thoughts that I feel are my own, but I would not have otherwise thought, that's pretty scary to me.”

The possibility of digital avatars that perfectly replicate an individual's consciousness feels deeply disturbing and potentially unethical.

“if it was possible to upload my consciousness or to have an artificial intelligence that was trained on my voice and my writing and my thinking so much so that it was the same as me, but not me, that feels quite disturbing to me.”
