Autonomy and identity in the era of neurotechnology and AI

The article analyzes the risks associated with delegating cognitive functions to AI systems and neurotechnologies. The author draws attention to the phenomenon of automation bias and the dangers related to offloading, which may lead to a loss of cognitive resilience and the degradation of human biological competencies. Particular attention is paid to memory prosthetics, indicating that interference in memorization processes directly affects an individual's narrative identity and autobiography. The text emphasizes that technology is not a neutral tool but a mediator that co-shapes subjectivity. The conclusion is the necessity of maintaining the metacognitive ability to assess system reliability and ensuring functional sovereignty in the human-system relationship, so that technical optimization does not occur at the expense of authentic autonomy and practical wisdom.
