In 2023, Commander Cornelis van der Klaauw of the Royal Netherlands Navy and an expert on strategic communication and information operations at the NATO Joint Warfare Centre wrote in an article ‘Cognitive Warfare‘:

“The reason why cognitive attacks go unnoticed by their targets is that cognitive activities bypass the conscious mind and directly target the subconscious of a person. In fact, within the subconscious mind, the primary target is the amygdala. …, neural nanotechnology can be used to bring nano-sized robots close to a neuron via the bloodstream and make it possible to link the human brain directly (i.e. not intercepted by our senses) to a computer, making use of artificial intelligence in the process.“

He concluded his study:

“While other domains can provide tactical and operational victories, the human domain is the only domain in which we can secure a full victory.”

Klaauw wrote his article at a time when the EU was moving towards declassifying neurotechnologies that enable remote control of human brain activity, and apparently therefore at its behest. On December 9, 2023, the European Parliament issued a press release stating that it had reached a political agreement with the Council of the European Union “on a bill to ensure AI in Europe is safe, respects fundamental rights and democracy.“

The proposed bill was intended to ban “AI systems that manipulate human behaviour to circumvent their free will.“ According to the press releasethe deputies “agreed“ as well on “clear obligations“ with respect to “AI systems used to influence the outcome of elections and voter behaviour.“ Seethis.
