Cognitive Amplification in Education: Navigating Ethical Frontiers of Human Enhancement Technology
description: Cognitive amplification in education explores the transformative potential and ethical implications of enhancing human cognitive abilities through advanced technologies. This field encompasses interventions such as neuroenhancement, brain-computer interfaces, and smart drugs, aiming to elevate learning capabilities and educational outcomes. While these advancements promise significant benefits, including personalized learning experiences and bridging educational gaps, they also pose ethical challenges. Key concerns include equity in access, consent, and the potential for unintended psychological and societal impacts. As educational systems integrate these technologies, it is imperative to navigate these ethical frontiers with caution, ensuring policies that safeguard against misuse and promote inclusive benefits. This paper underscores the dual nature of cognitive amplification: a beacon of educational innovation and a complex ethical landscape requiring careful scrutiny and responsible governance. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
