To what extent can AI-driven neurotechnologies influence or change political views?

Chaired by Prof. Giovanna De Minico (University of Naples Federico II), this panel brings together legal scholars, engineers, and neuroscientists to explore how A.I. and neuroscience are reshaping electoral campaigns. Special attention is dedicated to the existing legal framework governing political communication. Speakers will examine tools in engineering and data science to influence voters, reflecting on how to balance innovation and democratic integrity. In an era where the brain is no longer a black box, is it still possible to safeguard free voting?
