At Bioethics Today, Professor Łukasz Kamieński, a Fulbright visiting scholar at CERL, discusses the concerns raised by military neuroenhancement, explaining that while AI-assisted closed-loop brain-computer interface (AI-BCI) could offer advantages on the battlefield, there are real risks. Soldiers enhanced with AI-BCI may have degraded decision-making autonomy in addition to altered human reasoning that favors predictive data modeling over context and ethics-based judgment.

Łukasz Kamieński is the 2025-26 Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania. He is Professor of Security Studies at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Read his bio here.
