Documentary "The Future of the Mind"

Director Ruth Chao presents this 55-minute documentary that explores how the symbiosis between the brain and artificial intelligence is giving rise to a new “superhumanity.” Through this 2019 piece, the impact of brain-machine communication, synthetic telepathy, and the urgent need to establish neuro-rights to protect the privacy of our thoughts is analyzed.

The screening is free to attend until full capacity is reached and no prior registration is required to attend.

The work proposes a radical social change where neurotechnologies will not only allow for the enhancement of human cognitive capabilities, but will also open the door to the possibility of reading and manipulating the thoughts of others. It is an opportunity to reflect on how this technological transformation will affect our conception of the inner self and reality as we know it. 🧠
