Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is giving rise to legal implications of various kinds, however the one generated by the combination of ubiquitous neurotechnology and artificial intelligence is more transcendental, since this neurorevolution by enabling the extraclinical exploitation of brain data poses challenges for human rights, since that expose individuals to intrusion into the most intimate aspects of their private lives, the risk of having their data hacked, interference with confidentiality and digital surveillance. Therefore, in the context of Industry 4.0 or Industrial Revolution Stage Four, the need to guarantee emerging neurorights related to cognitive freedom, mental privacy, mental integrity and psychological continuity through specific regulations is evident. Furthermore, the consolidation of such neurospecific rights or rights of the mind is a recommendation of specialized academia and a concern of human rights organizations, which must be addressed before it is too late.
