Abstract

This exploratory study aims to shed light on the latest findings of artificial intelligence, which is the mind reading technology that used in mobile phones, and its relationship to user privacy, and to identify the attitudes of respondents towards this technology, as well as to monitor the opinions of experts in this technology and its effects on humans from a media, social, technological, legal and medical perspective. The study relied on a theoretical and qualitative framework to discover the latest technology in mind reading. The study used theory of mind and theory of technological determinism.
The study used the descriptive methodology and the tool of in-depth interviews with a number of experts in the field of media, computer engineering, law, sociology and medicine, by applying to two groups of focus group, so the number of respondents in the first group is 13 respondents, and the second is 8 respondents, in order to know their attitudes towards mind reading technology and the fields that they expected to employ this technology.
The most important results of this study were:
All respondents agreed that technology would be useful if used well with agreed ethics, but that it violated the privacy of others if misused.
All respondents and experts agreed on the need to enact laws to protect the minds of the public as a result of their concern for abuse, except for one experts who had a reservation about the timing of enacting laws, because they can take us back to previous eras, as modern technology does not need restrictions, but laws are enacted after their spread in society.
