Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate recent neurotechnological innovations and Algorithmic Culture from the philosophical and socio-cultural perspectives of technology. As innovations in neurotechnology and generative artificial intelligence begin to shape institutions and working conditions through new paradigms such as algorithmic governmentality, theoretical arguments are needed to characterize these chaotic situations adequately. Existing descriptions of society and culture, such as risk society, postmodern society, burnout society, disciplinary society, palliative society, or digitalized society, no longer capture all aspects of the current situation. Inevitably, new arguments for designing and managing this new world system have brought unprecedented crises, such as new forms of data surveillance and the invasion of the human mind as the subject. This paper focuses on the challenges to the authenticity of the human mind and memory posed by new neurotechnological developments such as neurochips. The significance of this work therefore lies in its hybrid theoretical approach that places both society and the subject at the centre of debates, with distinctive concepts such as Neurolink and interrelated terminologies such as Algorithmic Governmentality, Algorithmic Society, Algorithmic Culture, and Augmented Intelligence. The study's methodology examines these terminologies alongside the interrelated arguments of Heidegger, Bertrand Gilles, Rouvroy, and Kasparov.
