A world-first report from Dr Allan McCay in the Law School scrutinises advances in neurotechnology and what they might mean for the law and the legal profession. Dr Allan McCay, a criminal law scholar at the University of Sydney Law School, has published the first substantial overview of neurotechnology and its implications for the law and the legal profession. Neurotechnologies are technologies that interact directly with the brain, or more broadly the nervous system, by monitoring and recording neural activity, and/or acting to influence it. Sometimes neurotechnology is implanted in the brain but it may also be in the form of a headset, wristband or helmet. The technology is already being used in health settings for the treatment of patients with Parkinson's and epilepsy and could be used in the future to monitor and treat schizophrenia, depression and anxiety.

CRIMINALS could be tracked and controlled via brain chip monitoring in the future, according to neurotechnology law experts. Legal theorists are preparing for a future with widespread use of brain chips and augmented humans. Neurotechnology is the field of outfitting electronic devices for integration with the nervous system. While war-gaming the possibilities of neurotechnology impacting the law, Dr Allan McCay theorized that the courts could force criminals to adopt microchips for monitoring or controlling behavior in a report for The Law Society. "The political conditions might emerge for seeing neurotechnology as a broader solution to crime might come into place," McCay wrote.

Summary: Researchers discuss different applications for neurotech including monitoring criminals, interacting in the metaverse, and enhancing cognitive abilities.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are innovative technologies that provide powerful use cases across all industries, including data management. But with these solutions come some headaches, too, as OT & IT professionals learn to process, analyze and create actionable insights around their data. And that's not to mention all the challenges related to retaining, storing and accessing old data for future use. For insights and some answers, host Daniel Litwin tapped Ray McCay, VP of Solution Sales, and Michael Lamb, Product Manager for Solution Infrastructure, from ViON, an IT storage and services solutions company. "AI is giving the world new value propositions every day, and everyone is learning how to think about new AI actions they can take in the future to drive more value for the entire world," McCay said.
