“…Finally, considering the controversial nature of nanoimplants (Baumgartner, ; Berger et al., ; Siep, ), future studies could extend the presented model by investigating the ethical aspects of adopting these devices and using them for marketing purposes. Because nanoimplants allow researchers to monitor people continuously in their daily lives (Ahmadi & Ahmadi, ), they may yield a better understanding of people's decision‐making processes (Mileti et al., ). While this could be an unprecedented opportunity for marketing practice, it also raises important debates about consumer privacy and manipulation.…”

Nanotechnology enables the miniaturization of complex devices designed to enhance individuals’ physical and cognitive capabilities and, in the form of nanoimplants, their integration in the human body. It is unknown, however, whether people are willing or not to accept such devices. To shed light on this issue, this research used an extended version of the well‐known technology acceptance model (TAM), adding affective factors to the cognitive components already present in the model. Testing on a sample of 600 individuals yielded statistically significant effects on attitudes toward nanoimplants and intention to undergo nanoimplantation. Conclusions are drawn and implications are discussed.

“…The concern for the potential loss of cognitive freedom at the expense of the so-called NBIC (nano-bio-info-cogno) [5] has triggered the formulation of neurorights [6], as, when AI systems are deployed in real-world applications [7,8], they generate risks and undermine individual self-determination [9].…”

The Language of Nature and Artificial Intelligence in Patient Care

Given the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and the conditions of vulnerability of large sectors of the population, the question emerges: what are the ethical limits of technologies in patient care? This paper examines this question in the light of the “language of nature” and of Aristotelian causal analysis, in particular the concept of means and ends. Thus, it is possible to point out the root of the distinction between the identity of the person and the entity of any technology. Nature indicates that the person is always an end in itself. Technology, on the contrary, should only be a means to serve the person. The diversity of their respective natures also explains why their respective agencies enjoy diverse scopes. Technological operations (artificial agency, artificial intelligence) find their meaning in the results obtained through them (poiesis). Moreover, the person is capable of actions whose purpose is precisely the action itself (praxis), in which personal agency and, ultimately, the person themselves, is irreplaceable. Forgetting the distinction between what, by nature, is an end and what can only be a means is equivalent to losing sight of the instrumental nature of AI and, therefore, its specific meaning: the greatest good of the patient. It is concluded that the language of nature serves as a filter that supports the effective subordination of the use of AI to its specific purpose, the human good. The greatest contribution of this work is to draw attention to the nature of the person and technology, and about their respective agencies. In other words: listening to the language of nature, and attending to the diverse nature of the person and technology, personal agency, and artificial agency.
