Редактирование: Mind security

'''Mind security''' refers to a variety of emerging risks around [[brain-computer interfaces]] and interferences with other extensions of the self such as digital backups and [[mind uploading|uploaded minds]].

== Contemporary issues ==

Modifications such as [[transcranial direct current stimulation]] or [[Elon Musk]]'s [[neural lace]] type designs for reading are leaving the realm of [[science fiction]] and raising questions about whether the modern (trans)human requires rights around cognitive liberty, mental privacy and integrity, and psychological continuity.<ref>[https://pirate.london/human-rights-against-mind-hacking-proposed-by-well-intentioned-bioethicists-9945e80ec3da Human rights against ‘mind hacking’ proposed by well-intentioned bioethicists]</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/apr/26/new-human-rights-to-protect-against-mind-hacking-and-brain-data-theft-proposed New human rights to protect against 'mind hacking' and brain data theft proposed ]</ref>

Theoretical attacks on consumer-grade brainwave sensing headsets have been designed that could steal thoughts like security PINs should one switch between a banking app and a specially configured malicious game.<ref>[https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604293/using-brainwaves-to-guess-passwords/ Using Brainwaves to Guess Passwords]</ref>

Contemporary debates around [[digital rights]] around [[privacy]] are arguably the precursors to future debates around the digital or uploaded self.

== In fiction ==
''Main: [[Problems with mind uploading]]''
=== Hacking ===
In fictional universes featuring [[mind uploading]] or [[cyborgization]] (e.g. [[Altered Carbon]], [[Ghost in the Shell]]), all kinds of nefarious memory erasures, modifications, remote control and influences are featured. Today access to your computer may be for sale by criminals, tomorrow will it be your mind?

=== Duplication ===

Is your mind your intellectual property? Because you may run into all sort of problems. Copyable minds open up new exponential risks such as economic impacts featured in the [[Age of Em]] and personal duplication featured in  [[Ghost in the Shell]] and [[Black Mirror]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)#Part_II</ref>

If your body is replaceable, what opportunities for fraud and impersonation does this open up?

=== Simulations ===
What if a [[AI|powerful]] AI scanned you or even ran a powerful simulation of you in order to see how you'd respond to millions of scenarios? How do you know [[Simulation hypothesis|you're not in that simulation already]]?

[[Virtual reality]] looks like a convenient place - to torture you. :/

=== Destruction ===
Where [[immortality]] or [[External immortality|externally-apparent immortality]] is featured via backups and the like ([[Altered Carbon]], [[Commonwealth Saga]]), the threat of backup contamination or destruction is sometimes wielded by evil-dooers. Backups may cost extra.
