| contents | <p>This paper explores the emerging concept of <strong>Cognitive Sovereignty</strong> — the right and ability of individuals and societies to maintain autonomous control over mental processes such as attention, perception, and decision-making in an age dominated by digital platforms and algorithmic influence. It argues that modern technologies, through data-driven design and behavioural manipulation, pose profound challenges to human autonomy, democratic discourse, and cultural evolution.</p> <p>The study outlines how <strong>algorithmic systems</strong>, optimised for engagement rather than truth, reshape cognition and fragment shared reality. It proposes a multi-level framework for reclaiming cognitive sovereignty through <strong>media literacy, institutional reform, regulatory oversight, ethical design, and technical interventions</strong> such as open-source algorithms and decentralised platforms.</p> <p>Ultimately, the paper positions cognitive sovereignty as a <strong>national and human security imperative</strong>, asserting that safeguarding independent thought and decision-making is central to democracy, dignity, and the future of human agency in the digital age.</p> |
