2026 Summit

Join us for our 3rd Annual NJAM Neurotech Justice Summit 2026

Neurotech in Your Pocket: The Ethical and Legal Challenges of Treating and Researching the Brain with AI-Enabled Smart Devices

Hosted by the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham (NJAM), a Dana Foundation Center for Neuroscience & Society

What is the current and future state of neurotech?  Where is the development and use of nanotechnology headed in the fields of law, tech, and medicine?  What needs to change about that trajectory and how can we change it for the better? 

Smart phones, watches, and other devices to monitor and modify physical and mental activity could improve health and legal outcomes, but they could also exacerbate inequities and sacrifice privacy. This year’s Neurotech Justice Summit will offer students and trainees a unique opportunity to learn from a diverse array of experts about the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI-enabled smart devices as deployed in clinic and courtroom.

Overview

Neurotechnology and artificial intelligence are rapidly transforming how we understand the brain, mental health, and human cognition.The Neurotech Justice Summit brings together researchers, advocates, technologists, and community leaders for a dynamic day of conversation, and interactive breakout sessions. Together, we will explore digital neurotechnology and the intersection of technology, ethics, law, policy, and lived experience through an intersectional lens. Through collaborative discussions and hands-on activities, participants will examine how emerging neurotechnologies may affect different communities for better and worse, and will learn about opportunities to build more just, inclusive, and community-centered neurotech futures!
