The Neuroscience and Neuroethics of AI-Powered Speech Therapy: Balancing Cognitive Innovation with Ethical Responsibility

This open-access paper explores the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and ethics in digital speech therapy. It examines neural mechanisms of speech rehabilitation, machine learning personalization, and governance concerns over neuroprivacy, bias, and informed consent. The author proposes a HOAP-aligned framework for anonymized data sharing, bias audits, and patient-owned neurocognitive data to balance innovation with cognitive sovereignty.
