IMPLEMENTATION OF NEURO-RIGHTS INTO NATIONAL LEGISLATION: PRIORITIES OF UZBEKISTAN’S LAW-MAKING POLICY IN THE ERA OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

This article explores the implementation of neuro-rights into Uzbekistan’s national legislative system to ensure human cognitive freedom and mental privacy in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and neurotechnologies. The aim of the study is to assess the resilience of traditional legal doctrine to modern biotechnological threats and to determine the priority directions of the country’s law-making policy. The relevance of the problem is explained by the uncontrolled collection of neural data resulting from the popularization of neurointerfaces, as well as the increased risk of influencing an individual’s will through algorithmic manipulation. The study utilized philosophical-legal, formal-dogmatic, comparative legal, and prognostic methods. International recommendations and the experience of foreign countries have been functionally analyzed. As a result, it was found that there are conceptual gaps in existing legislation on personal data and new regulatory documents on digital technologies regarding the protection of the results of unconscious activity. The results obtained can be widely used in the practice of digital law, information security and lawmaking. The conclusion proposes specific solutions for expanding constitutional norms through law enforcement practice, strengthening the autonomous legal status of neural data and the fiduciary model in legislation, as well as introducing specialized restrictions into labor and criminal legislation.
