Call for Chapters: Ethics and Global Impacts of Human Enhancement Technologies
Proposals Submission Deadline: March 30, 2024
Full Chapters Due: June 1, 2024
Introduction
Advances in Human Enhancement Technology over the past 10 years have exploded. Shifts in
brain interfaces, neuroscience, arti cial intelligence, and robotics only scratch the service. It's
all going somewhere, there is an end game, forces are competing for control and domination,
new players are bringing new energy to the phenomenon. Yet the stakes for ethics and
prospective global impacts of human enhancement could not be higher, or more dire, touching
each and every one of us.
Objective
This volume of carefully curated contributions from academics, ethicists, futurists, scholars,
scientists, technologists, and critical thinkers from around the world is a snapshot of the time
we currently inhabit leading into a future we are rapidly destined to inherit as humans, as
human machines, and as machines.
Target Audience
Ethics and Global Impacts of Human Enhancement Technologies will compile research to build
on a well-rounded composite of the eld of Human Enhancement Technologies. Addressing
both present and future concerns, this publication serves as a valuable reference work for
researchers, students, professionals, and practitioners involved in computer science and the
humanities, as well as many engaged in a humanities approach to arti cial life, brain interfaces,
biometrics, neuroscience, and robotics.
