RISK DOMAIN 04: ETHICS
The Right to a Private Mind.
Privacy is not about hiding what you've done. It's about protecting who you are becoming. If you cannot think in private, you cannot be free.
Are you the user, or are you the training data?
THREAT VECTORS
Mental Self-Determination
You have a right to your own internal monologue. You have a right to wonder about something without an algorithm using that data to try and sell to you or influence you.
The Extended Mind
Our phones are now part of our brains. We think through them. Therefore, looking into our phone's activity is ethically the same as peering into our biological thoughts.
REQUIRED PROTOCOLS
01 / COGNITIVE RIGHTS
Establishing "Mental Privacy" as a Human Right, distinct from Data Privacy.
02 / OPT-OUT OF INFERENCE
You should have the right to use software without it building a psychological profile of you.
03 / ALGORITHMIC TRANSPARENCY
If an AI is trying to nudge of influence your mood or opinion, it must disclose that intent immediately.
