Minister backs neurorights protection in human rights bill

Indonesia's Human Rights Minister, Natalius Pigai, has expressed support for incorporating neurorights, defined as the right to mental privacy, into the country's Human Rights Bill (RUU HAM). This proposal aims to address potential human rights violations arising from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and neurotechnology. Pigai emphasized the importance of anticipating these challenges through legal frameworks, particularly highlighting concerns around 'neurological theft' where personal thoughts might be accessed or recorded via emerging technologies such as neurochips. The minister described the initiative as part of broader efforts to proactively shape human rights policies aligned with projected societal changes, rather than reacting to existing issues. He noted that while the Human Rights Ministry focuses on human rights development, technocratic planning related to national development is handled by the National Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas), which will integrate these considerations into broader planning processes.
