Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English. This paper reviews the important thesis of David M. Lyreskog, who provides a profound interpretation of the complexity and uncertainty of ethical issues associated with brain–computer interfaces in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and lays the theoretical foundation for an ethical framework for AI–brain–computer interfaces in terms of autonomy, integrity, identity, and privacy. This paper responds to Lyreskog’s main points in terms of four dichotomies, namely bounded and unbounded, controllable and uncontrollable, self and non-self, and open and liberalized, to promote in-depth discussion of the ethical issues associated with AI–brain–computer interfaces.
