00:00Imagine living mentally 10 years in prison in just 10 minutes.
00:02This is precisely the concept of Conify presented by the scientist H.M. Al-Ghali.
00:06The principle is to design a futuristic approach to rehabilitating criminals
00:10by combining artificial intelligence with neuroscience.
00:12The idea is to implant artificial memories directly into the prisoner's brain,
00:16thus making him experience his crimes from the victim's point of view.
00:18In the outside world, the rehabilitation session lasts a few minutes,
00:21and for the prisoner it lasts years due to the altered perception of time in his mind.
00:25This intense experience aims to induce emotional states such as remorse or regrets
00:29that some individuals cannot feel themselves.
00:30Conify's proposal is based on a series of recent scientific discoveries in the field of neuroscience.
00:35For example, scientists have succeeded in implanting false memories in mice
00:38and transforming scary memories into happy memories.
00:41In 2018, these researchers even managed to transfer a memory of a sea snail to another.
00:45Conify's advocates argue that this technology could transform criminal justice
00:48by prioritizing rehabilitation rather than punishment,
00:51and by considering detainees as patients.
00:52They believe that this could lower the rate of recidivism
00:55and facilitate the social and professional reintegration of prisoners.
00:57However, despite its potential advantages,
00:59Conify arouses ethical concerns,
01:01notably on consent, abuse risks and sustainable psychological effects.
01:04Many Internet users have already established the parallel with the Black Mirror series.
