Artificial Intelligence, Neurodata, and Society

Law at the Edge of Cognition
Explores how AI systems trained on neurodata are redrawing the boundaries of dignity, autonomy, and legal personhood.

This book explores how AI systems trained on neurodata are redrawing the boundaries of dignity, autonomy, and legal personhood.

It reveals the emerging reality of NeuroAI: a world where machinelearning models anticipate our thoughts before we have even formed them. As neurotechnologies evolve, AI systems move beyond interpreting brain signals in labs and headsets to harvesting neurodata (whether extracted through direct interfaces, inferred from everyday behaviour, or reverse-engineered via predictive modelling) from users who never consented or even knew they were being monitored, transforming the subconscious into a commodified dataset.

Drawing on case studies from criminal trials, law enforcement, and consumer technologies, the book reveals how Big Tech an
