Spencer Fane attorney Shawn Tuma recently wrote an article published by the renowned cybersecurity platform SecureWorld.
The piece, Protecting the Privacy of Our Thoughts from Brain Scanning Technology, originated as a blog post on Shawn’s personal website. In it, Shawn contemplates the future of brain-scanning technology aimed at reading a person’s thoughts. Noting the data privacy and cybersecurity risks such scientific advances like the Neuralink brain chip could foster, Shawn commends those who are already looking to protect consumers through regulations.
“Colorado and Minnesota [are proposing] legislation that is aimed at establishing rights and protections for information collected from our thoughts through the neural signals that can be scanned and collected from our brains. Kudos to these states, and others, as these kinds of protections are being considered,” Shawn said.
