法律學者及倫理學家妮塔法拉漢尼說：能夠解譯你的腦部活動並揭示出你想法的技術已經近在眼前。對於我們那已經被侵犯的隱私感而言，這個趨勢有什麼意涵？在這場警示性的演講中，法拉漢尼警告我們，將來的社會可能會是人民只因為想著要犯罪就被逮捕（如同《關鍵報告》），並為了私人利益而出賣我們的大腦資料。她也提出要建立一種認知自由的權利，來保護我們的思想自由和自我決定自由。

security number as far more sensitive
security number as far more sensitive
127
429481
5229
很讓人驚訝的是，
大家認為身分證字號的敏感度
07:26
than any other kind of information,
128
434734
2203
遠高於任何其他資訊，
07:28
including their brain data.
129
436961
2435
包括他們腦中的資料。
07:32
I think this is because
people don't yet understand
people don't yet understand
130
440380
3216
我認為這是因為大家尚未了解
07:35
or believe the implications
of this new brain-decoding technology.
of this new brain-decoding technology.
131
443620
4063
或還不相信這種新的
大腦解譯技術背後的意涵。

07:40
After all, if we can know
the inner workings of the human brain,
the inner workings of the human brain,
132

畢竟，如果我們能夠知道
人腦內部的運作，

07:43
our social security numbers
are the least of our worries.
are the least of our worries.
133
451942

我們的身分證字號
是最不用擔心的了。
是最不用擔心的了。
07:46
(Laughter)
134
454672
1285
（笑聲）
07:47
Think about it.
135
455981
1167
想想看。
07:49
In a world of total brain transparency,
136
457172
2396
在一個大腦完全透明的世界中，
07:51
who would dare have
a politically dissident thought?
a politically dissident thought?
137
459592
2429
誰敢有在政治上意見不同的念頭？
07:55
Or a creative one?
138
463279
1541
或是有創意的想法？
07:57
I worry that people will self-censor
139
465503
3476
我擔心大家會因為害怕
被社會排斥而做自我審查，
08:01
in fear of being ostracized by society,
140
469003
3302
08:04
or that people will lose their jobs
because of their waning attention
because of their waning attention
141
472329
3813
或者，大家丟掉飯碗可能是
因為注意力下降或是情緒不穩定，
08:08
or emotional instability,
142
476166
2150
08:10
or because they're contemplating
collective action against their employers.
collective action against their employers.
143
478340

或是因為他們在想著
要集體會抗僱主的行動。
要集體會抗僱主的行動。
08:14
That coming out
will no longer be an option,
will no longer be an option,
144
482478
3177
出櫃與否也不再是個選擇，
08:17
because people's brains will long ago
have revealed their sexual orientation,
have revealed their sexual orientation,
145
485679
5067
因為人腦會揭露出
他們的性向、
他們的政治意識形態，
他們的政治意識形態，
08:22
their political ideology
146
490770
1822
08:24
or their religious preferences,
147
492616
2025
或是他們的宗教偏好，
08:26
well before they were ready
to consciously share that information

在他們有意識地準備好和他人

08:31
I worry about the ability of our laws
to keep up with technological change.

150
499565
4912
我擔心我們的法律是否
能夠跟上科技的改變。
能夠跟上科技的改變。
08:36
Take the First Amendment
of the US Constitution,
of the US Constitution,
151
504986
2320
比如美國憲法第一修正案
08:39
which protects freedom of speech.
152
507330
1958
保障的是言論的自由。
08:41
Does it also protect freedom of thought?
153
509312
1927
它是否也保護思想的自由？
08:43
And if so, does that mean that we're free
to alter our thoughts however we want?
to alter our thoughts however we want?
154
511944
4169
如果是的話，那是否表示我們
可以任意改變想法？
可以任意改變想法？
08:48
Or can the government or society tell us
what we can do with our own brains?
what we can do with our own brains?
155
516137
4674
或者，政府或社會是否能
告訴我們能用自己的大腦做什麼？
08:53
Can the NSA spy on our brains
using these new mobile devices?
using these new mobile devices?
156
521591
3717
國家安全協會是否能用這些新的
行動裝置來監視我們的大腦？

08:58
Can the companies that collect
the brain data through their applications
the brain data through their applications
157
526053
4119
透過應用程式收集大腦資料的公司
是否能將這些資訊販售給第三方？
09:02
sell this information to third parties?
158
530196
2074
09:05
Right now, no laws prevent them
from doing so.
from doing so.
159
533174
3222
目前，沒有法律阻止他們這麼做。
09:09
It could be even more problematic
160
537203
2025
有些國家問題可能更大，
09:11
in countries that don't share
the same freedoms
the same freedoms
161
539252
2519
如人民不像美國人能享有
09:13
enjoyed by people in the United States.
162
541795
2103
那種自由的那些國家。
09:16
What would've happened during
the Iranian Green Movement
the Iranian Green Movement
163
544883
3787
在伊朗綠色革命中，
如果政府能夠監視
我家人的大腦活動，
我家人的大腦活動，
09:20
if the government had been
monitoring my family's brain activity,
monitoring my family's brain activity,
164
548694
3901
因而認為他們同情抗議者，
會發生什麼事？
會發生什麼事？
09:24
and had believed them
to be sympathetic to the protesters?
to be sympathetic to the protesters?
165
552619
4007
09:30
Is it so far-fetched to imagine a society
166
558091
3047
真的有這麼難想像這樣的社會嗎？
人民因為他們有想要
犯罪的念頭而被逮捕，
犯罪的念頭而被逮捕，
09:33
in which people are arrested
based on their thoughts
based on their thoughts
167
561162
2842
09:36
of committing a crime,
168
564028
1167
09:37
like in the science-fiction
dystopian society in "Minority Report."
dystopian society in "Minority Report."
169
565219
4312
就像是科幻電影《關鍵報告》中的
反烏托邦社會一樣。
反烏托邦社會一樣。
09:42
Already, in the United States, in Indiana,
170
570286
4323
在美國印第安納州，
09:46
an 18-year-old was charged
with attempting to intimidate his school

171
574633
4937
已經有一位十八歲的男子
被控試圖威嚇他的學校，

09:51
by posting a video of himself
shooting people in the hallways ...
shooting people in the hallways ...
172
579594
3309
因為他張貼了一支他自己
在走廊射殺他人的影片……
在走廊射殺他人的影片……
09:55
Except the people were zombies
173
583881
3007
只不過，被殺的人是殭屍，
09:58
and the video was of him playing
an augmented-reality video game,
an augmented-reality video game,
174
586912
5047
那支影片的內容其實是
他在玩虛擬實境的遊戲，
他在玩虛擬實境的遊戲，
10:03
all interpreted to be a mental projection
of his subjective intent.
of his subjective intent.
175
591983
4772
這全都被解讀為
他主觀意圖的心理投射。
他主觀意圖的心理投射。
10:10
This is exactly why our brains
need special protection.
need special protection.
176
598456
4612
這正是為什麼我們的大腦
需要特殊的保護。
需要特殊的保護。
10:15
If our brains are just as subject
to data tracking and aggregation
to data tracking and aggregation
177
603092
3556
如果我們的大腦就像
我們的財務記錄和交易一樣
我們的財務記錄和交易一樣
10:18
as our financial records and transactions,
178
606672
2532
會受到資料追蹤和整合，
如果我們的大腦能像
我們的線上活動、手機，
我們的線上活動、手機，
10:21
if our brains can be hacked
and tracked like our online activities,
and tracked like our online activities,
179
609228
4285
及應用程式一樣被駭入和被追蹤，
10:25
our mobile phones and applications,
180
613537
2361
10:27
then we're on the brink of a dangerous
threat to our collective humanity.
threat to our collective humanity.
181
615922
4269
那麼我們就是處於集體人性
受到危險威脅的邊緣。
受到危險威脅的邊緣。
10:33
Before you panic,
182
621406
1309
在你們慌張之前，
10:36
I believe that there are solutions
to these concerns,
to these concerns,
183
624012
3144
我相信這些擔憂都有解決方案，
10:39
but we have to start by focusing
on the right things.
on the right things.
184
627180
2825
但我們一開始就得
把焦點放在對的地方。
把焦點放在對的地方。
10:42
When it comes to privacy
protections in general,
protections in general,
185
630580
2921
就一般性的隱私保護而言，
10:45
I think we're fighting a losing battle
186
633525
1826
我認為我們在打一場會輸的仗，
因為我們在試圖限制資訊流。
因為我們在試圖限制資訊流。
10:47
by trying to restrict
the flow of information.
the flow of information.
187
635375
2858
10:50
Instead, we should be focusing
on securing rights and remedies

188
638257
4057
反之，我們應該要把焦點放在
保衛我們的權利並做出補救，
保衛我們的權利並做出補救，
10:54
against the misuse of our information.
189
642338
2275
確保我們的資訊不會被濫用。
10:57
If people had the right to decide
how their information was shared,
how their information was shared,
190
645291
3285
如果人民有權決定
他們的資訊要如何被分享，
他們的資訊要如何被分享，
更重要的，要有法律補救方法，
11:00
and more importantly, have legal redress
191
648600
2921
以免他們的資訊被濫用
來對他們不利，
來對他們不利，
11:03
if their information
was misused against them,
was misused against them,
192
651545
2428
比如在應徵時，或健康照護
11:05
say to discriminate against them
in an employment setting
in an employment setting
193
653997
2786
或教育的情境中被用來歧視他們，
11:08
or in health care or education,
194
656807
2785
11:11
this would go a long way to build trust.
195
659616
2571
要花很長的時間才能夠建立信任。
11:14
In fact, in some instances,
196
662843
1718
事實上，在一些狀況中，
11:16
we want to be sharing more
of our personal information.
of our personal information.
197
664585
3524
我們會想要分享更多的個人資訊。
11:20
Studying aggregated information
can tell us so much
can tell us so much
198
668697
3047
研究整合的資訊能告訴我們許多
11:23
about our health and our well-being,
199
671768
2747
關於我們健康和幸福的訊息，
11:26
but to be able to safely share
our information,
our information,
200
674539
3313
但若要安全地分享我們的資訊，
11:29
we need special protections
for mental privacy.
for mental privacy.
201
677876
3223
我們的心理隱私
會需要特殊的保護。
會需要特殊的保護。
11:33
This is why we need
a right to cognitive liberty.

202
681832
3147
這就是為什麼我們需要
一種認知自由權。
一種認知自由權。
11:37
This right would secure for us
our freedom of thought and rumination,
our freedom of thought and rumination,
203
685543
4079
這種權利能確保
我們的思想和沉思自由，
我們的思想和沉思自由，
11:41
our freedom of self-determination,
204
689646
2540
我們的自我決定自由，
11:44
and it would insure that we have
the right to consent to or refuse
the right to consent to or refuse
205
692210
4390
且能保證我們有權同意或拒絕他人
11:48
access and alteration
of our brains by others.
of our brains by others.
206
696624
2857
取得和變更我們大腦內容的權利。
11:51
This right could be recognized
207
699811
2112
這種權利可以被視為是
世界人權宣言的一部分，
11:53
as part of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights,
of Human Rights,
208
701947
2883
11:56
which has established mechanisms
209
704854
2388
該宣言是在建立一些機制
以強制執行這類社會權利。
11:59
for the enforcement
of these kinds of social rights.

707266
2856
12:03
During the Iranian Green Movement,
211
711872
2070
在伊朗綠色革命時，
12:05
the protesters used the internet
and good old-fashioned word of mouth
and good old-fashioned word of mouth
212
713966
5186
抗議者用網路
以及傳統的口耳相傳，
12:11
to coordinate their marches.
213
719176
1948
來協調他們的遊行。
12:14
And some of the most oppressive
restrictions in Iran
restrictions in Iran
214
722238
2769
結果，伊朗政府解除了
一些最壓迫的限制。
12:17
were lifted as a result.
215
725031
1877
12:20
But what if the Iranian government
had used brain surveillance
had used brain surveillance
216
728047
4087
但，如果伊朗政府
當初使用大腦監視
當初使用大腦監視
12:24
to detect and prevent the protest?
217
732158
3061
來偵測並預防抗議呢？
12:28
Would the world have ever heard
the protesters' cries?
the protesters' cries?
218
736847
3176
世界還會有機會
聽到抗議者的吶喊嗎？
聽到抗議者的吶喊嗎？
12:33
The time has come for us to call
for a cognitive liberty revolution.
for a cognitive liberty revolution.
219
741732
5121
該是我們來進行一場
認知自由革命的時候了。
認知自由革命的時候了。
12:39
To make sure that we responsibly
advance technology

以確保我們的科技是以
負責任的方式在進步，

while fiercely protecting all of us
from any person, company or government
