EU law governs AI system by system, but harms to cognitive integrity emerge from all of them. Part four of our cognitive integrity report sets out six recommendations to address that gap.
Single exchanges with AI systems look harmless. Part three of our cognitive integrity report follows what happens when they add up — in individual minds, and in the knowledge we hold in common.
Nothing about how an AI system responds to you is accidental. Part two of our cognitive integrity report follows the chain from business model to data to interface, and asks how far European law reaches into it.
AI systems help us understand the world, connect with others, create and cope. Part one of our cognitive integrity report examines what happens to those capacities when the need gets met for us — and why autonomy is the thing worth protecting.
The EU is moving to protect children online, but the design practices in question exploit vulnerabilities we all share. Protecting minds at every age means a shared standard for regulators: cognitive integrity.
The EU's Special Panel on child safety online recommends an access restriction for under-13s and safe design for all minors on social media. But users age out of protection, not out of vulnerability. This brief introduces cognitive integrity, a concept for governing AI-mediated systems at large — because restricting access changes who is exposed, not what they are exposed to.
CFG is launching a new initiative: Tech and the Brain. This first paper explores how emerging technologies are reshaping youth mental health—and what Europe must do to respond.
