To analyze the intersections between neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) from an ethical and legal perspective, The European University of Brain and Technology-NeurotechEU and the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) are organizing the 2024 Winter School: Challenges and risks of neuroscience and neurotechnology in times of Artificial Intelligence. The Winter School will take place from 16 to 18 December in Elche, Spain.

More details
Participants will attend different sessions where experts in bioethics, philosophy, law, and technology will examine topics such as the ethics of AI, neuro-rights, the legal and social implications of applied neuroscience, and the risks associated with integrating AI into neuroscience. Moreover, it is an opportunity to connect with other students and researchers from our 8 NeurotechEU partner universities and expand your professional network.
