In recent years, the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to significant technological innovations that have transformed various sectors of society. However, this rapid growth has raised ethical and legal questions, particularly regarding the so-called “neuro-rights,” a topic that lies at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and law. The issue of neurotech- nology has become increasingly relevant, as demonstrated by the latest UN- ESCO report, which highlights a doubling of patents in the field between 2015 and 2020. These developments raise concerns about the adequacy of existing legislation regarding human rights, making it necessary to reconsider regu- lations in light of innovations in neurotechnology and AI.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, data protection, high technology, law, neuroscience.
