The development and potential application of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is closely related to the human brain, so that the ethical regulation of BCI has become an important issue attracting the consideration of society. Existing literatures have discussed the ethical norms of BCI technology from the perspectives of non-BCI developers and scientific ethics, while few discussions have been launched from the perspective of BCI developers. Therefore, there is a great need to study and discuss the ethical norms of BCI technology from the perspective of BCI developers. In this paper, we present the user-centered and non-harmful BCI technology ethics, and then discuss and look forward on them. This paper argues that human beings can cope with the ethical issues arising from BCI technology, and as BCI technology develops, its ethical norms will be improved continuously. It is expected that this paper can provide thoughts and references for the formulation of ethical norms related to BCI technology.
脑机接口(BCI)技术的发展与潜在应用与人类大脑密切相关,以至于BCI的伦理规范已成为吸引社会关注的重要问题。现有文献已从非BCI开发者和科学伦理的角度讨论了BCI技术的伦理规范,而从BCI开发者的角度展开的讨论却很少。因此,非常有必要从BCI开发者的角度研究和讨论BCI技术的伦理规范。在本文中,我们提出了以用户为中心且无害的BCI技术伦理观,然后对其进行讨论并展望。本文认为人类能够应对BCI技术引发的伦理问题,并且随着BCI技术的发展,其伦理规范将不断完善。期望本文能为BCI技术相关伦理规范的制定提供思路和参考。
