A group of Democratic senators has raised alarms over the collection and use of deeply personal neural data from brain implants by companies, citing insufficient regulations and privacy policies. They refer to alarming data mining practices and call for the Federal Trade Commission to take action, particularly focusing on companies like Neuralink. The senators argue that the gathering of this data, which could reveal sensitive details about mental health and cognitive function, poses a significant risk to personal privacy and security.
The vast majority of brain implant companies collect data with few limits, vague policies, and reserve sweeping rights to share it, which raises serious privacy concerns.
Senators express concern over the handling of sensitive neural data generated by the rapid development of brain-computer interface technologies, emphasizing the need for regulatory action.
