Silicon Valley Wants to Put a Chip in Your Brain
A battle is looming not just over privacy, but the future of the human species.

BCI 발전에 따라 입력 장치의 개념이 재정의될 수 있다는 내용입니다. Sabi가 세계 최대 규모의 신경 데이터셋을 모으고 Brain Foundation Model을 학습 중이며, 현재는 분당 30단어 수준이지만 향후 기기 사용 방식 전반에 큰 변화를 줄 가능성을 제시합니다.

BCIが進むと「入力デバイスの再定義」が進む
Sabiは世界最大のニューラルデータセットを集め、
優れたBrain Foundation Modelを訓練。
速度はまだ30wpm(1分で30単語)とのことがだが、
様々なデバイスの前提も置き換わりそう。

Neural data is the next privacy battleground. Learn how brain signals are collected, used, and regulated as neurotechnology markets rapidly expand worldwide.
The-14 PicturesA new law in California protects consumers’ brain data. Some think it doesn’t go far enough
The bill defines neural data as “information that is generated by measuring the activity of a consumer’s central or peripheral nervous system, and that is not inferred from nonneural information.” In other words, data collected from a person’s brain or nerves.

A new law in California protects consumers’ brain data. Some think it doesn’t go far enough.
Tech companies collect brain data that could be used to infer our thoughts—so it’s vital we get legal protections right.

Endless feedback
In 2013, Facebook data scientist Adam Kremer and intern Sauvik Das published “Self-Censorship on Facebook,” a paper which was to spark some controversy. Not only did the authors repeatedly make the confounding assertion that “the act of preventing oneself from speaking” — i.e., starting to write a Facebook post but then not posting it — was “censorship,” a kind of self-imposed masochistic tyranny rather than privacy, reticence, or good sense; but their methodology also revealed that Facebook retained the data that users input but never posted. Anything typed into a box on Facebook was fair game for the company to do whatever they wanted with, regardless of whether the user ultimately intended to share it with others. Thus while one’s privacy settings may apply to other users, they didn’t apply to the platform itself, which tracked and stored whatever user behavior it could, wherever it could. Nothing a user could do could get anything removed from that database, and their intuitions about what was included in it were likely to be insufficient.
