The new law amends California's existing privacy law to include neural data as personal sensitive information, thus enhancing protections against potential misuse by tech companies.
I’m very excited, said Sen. Josh Becker, the bill's sponsor, emphasizing the importance of protecting neural data, which encodes people's thoughts and feelings.
This legislation extends the same protections for neural data as existing safeguards for biometric data like facial images and DNA, marking a significant privacy improvement.
With the rise of neurotechnology, California recognizes the need for robust privacy laws to safeguard brain data against unnecessary exploitation by tech firms.
