Neural interfaces offer incredible potential but raise serious privacy and security concerns. Unauthorized access to neural data could lead to profiling, manipulation, and invasion of mental privacy. Protecting this sensitive information is crucial for maintaining user trust and autonomy.
Robust data protection measures, including encryption and user control, are essential. Regulatory frameworks must balance innovation with privacy protection, establishing industry-wide standards and accountability mechanisms to safeguard neural data and foster public acceptance of neuroprosthetics.
