Scientists have developed nanobots — tiny robots at nanoscale — that can enter our bloodstream and even bypass the blood-brain barrier.
This technology has enormous potential benefits for things like taking samples, collecting and transmitting data, and drug delivery — but the potential for abuse is also high. In the future, nanobots may even be used to transmit human thought.
Weaponized nanobots could kill a specific person or group of people, or even rewrite their memories so they turn against their own side. There are also serious privacy concerns in our modern world of highly-connected devices. What protects our medical data and our thoughts, in the world of nanobots? Strong regulation and oversight are necessary to provide transparency and prevent these
