The Prison of the Future - Cognify

Introducing Cognify, the prison of the future. This facility is designed to treat criminals like patients. Instead of spending years in an actual prison cell, prisoners could finish their sentence here in just a few minutes. Cognify could someday create and implant artificial memories directly into the prisoner’s brain. It could offer a new approach to criminal rehabilitation, transforming how society deals with offenders by focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. #Science #Technology #Research #NeuroScience #psychology

What a complete hellscape of an idea. The potential for abuse is immense.

If you think for 1 minute they're going to use this on criminals, you have another thing coming.Since when has the authority ever cared about Prisoners. This is Designed to be used on everyone.

Worst crimes are committed by governments, not separate individuals.

God forbid someone is wrongfully convicted and has to go through memories and feelings they never had to experience…… not sure if I’m feeling this

[hellopanda]

They will start experimenting on prisoners, whom society often overlooks, and then expand to people seeking altered memories. Eventually, people will book appointments to change their memories. It wouldn't be surprising if, in a few years, our society becomes even more troubled than it is now.

To all the ones pushing for something crazy like this, I only have two words: You first.

Al-Ghaili says Cognify could happen within a decade from now but only “if we could overcome the ethical restrictions that limit testing such technology.”

The World of the Future. As soon as such technology becomes possible, each state will begin to adjust its citizens to its liking, not just criminals. Get ready.

If this isn't cruel and unusual then I don't know what is

[nickpapageorgio]

Imagine if the doctors assistant was the parent of a prisoners victim, and they program memories of the being set on fire on replay

[CharlieWhite]

I’m sure uploading real feeling memeroies into someone’s mind who knows they are having fake memories injected won’t back fire at all

[vanillagorilla]

Imagine the guy goes into the machine, and it just starts frying his brain, while he screams in horror.
Then each guard operating it also has to step into the brain cooker for manslaughter.

[maxwestcomics]

This sounds too much like a Clockwork Orange. Even if your intentions are good, is it really ethical and moral to interfere with a person's mind and moral judgement?

[ilovecakelol]

If you can reduce empathy and remorse. You can turn them completely off too.

Demolition Man was not a To-Do list.
Blade Runner was not a To-Do iist.
The Matric was not a To-Do list.
1984 was not a To-Do list.
Brave New World was not a To-Do list.
