Summary

AI is transforming economic, technological, and social sectors, particularly future work environments. Ethical regulation requires a relational understanding of AI by stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, and workers. This paper argues for a reembodied perspective on AI, framing it as an adaptation of biological intelligence rather than a disembodied system. By challenging Cartesian dualism and integrating sociotechnical, neuroethical, and phenomenological perspectives, this approach strengthens human-centered AI governance. Applied to AI-based neurotechnology, it highlights potential disruptions in work processes while advocating for enhanced ethical frameworks, regulatory debates, and social discourse to preserve human agency.
