Résumé

Since 2015, the OECD has convened a panel of experts to develop a framework for responsible research and innovation in the field of neurotechnologies. This effort culminated in Recommendation 457 in 2019. In France, this recommendation has been implemented through the development of a Charter, which is poised to become European-wide. Additionally, an interactive toolkit has been recently introduced. Concurrently, the UNESCO International Bioethics Committee released a report in 2021 on the ethical implications of neurotechnologies. These findings serve as the foundation for ongoing efforts to adopt a recommendation in 2025, which will serve as legislative groundwork for member states. We will compare and contrast the approaches of both organizations, in which we have actively participated.
