Description
Chiara Saracini writes in 2026 about cognitive sovereignty and neuro-justice, arguing that brain technology debates ignore the realities of the Global South. Wealthy countries frame neurotechnology around enhancement, privacy, and mental liberty. In the South, she notes, the pressing need is basic health care and brain rehabilitation, and falling behind could drain national brain capital rather than upgrade it.
Artificial intelligence deepens the shift: systems no longer just read brain signals but adaptively interact with users, blurring the line between device and cognitive influence. Southern countries have joined rights debates, led visibly by Chile, yet remain far from the economic and scientific centers driving development. Saracini calls for frameworks built on Southern priorities, not imported assumptions.
