ARTIFICIAL MEMORIES IN PRISONS: A FUTURISTIC APPROACH TO REHABILITATION

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of artificial memories and brain implants to revolutionize prisoner rehabilitation compared to traditional incarceration. Developed by Cognify, these AI-driven systems implant synthetic memories designed to evoke feelings of remorse and guilt, fostering rapid psychological transformation. By simulating victims’ experiences, these technologies aim to enhance offenders' empathy and emotional processing. However, their adoption raises significant ethical concerns, including autonomy, informed consent, and data privacy. The study also examines challenges such as coercion and algorithmic bias. While promising, the implementation of these technologies within the justice system necessitates careful consideration of ethical safeguards to protect prisoners’ rights. Striking a balance between technological innovation and ethical accountability could profoundly reshape rehabilitation in the criminal justice system.
