About

The Asociación Mexicana de Neuroética (AMNE) (Mexican Association of Neuroethics)

Is an organization consisting of an interdisciplinary group of professionals from different parts of the world who are interested in the growing and emerging medical, ethical, philosophical, legal, social and ethnocultural-diversity challenges derived from the development and use of neuroscience, neurotechnology and—because of its significant impact on human life—artificial intelligence.

Our approach is focused on sharing, collaborating on and complementing the work of the global academic community.

In this way, AMNE joins the international efforts to “address, enrich and anticipate the ethical, legal and social implications generated by innovative and emerging neuroscience and neurotechnologies”.

(Neuroethics Working Group, 2018)(OECD, 2017).
