Summary/Abstract: The present policy brief is drawing upon the research and analyses conducted by international organizations and academic institutions on AI, neurotechnologies, and human rights, emphasizing the particular implications for the right to freedom of thought. It analyses the impact of emerging information ecosystems on the right to freedom of thought, as well as the prospective effects of AI-based neurotechnologies, which give rise to fundamental questions regarding the inviolability of individual mental autonomy. Furthermore, the document sets forth a series of recommendations for States to consider in safeguarding and ensuring the effective respect, protection, and fulfillment of the right to freedom of thought in the context of the digital age, while also aiming to serve as a foundation for further discussion on the initiatives and actions of ODIHR, participating States and other stakeholders.
