But the same technologies create major privacy, security and safety risks, especially if manufacturers prioritize convenience features, data collection and artificial intelligence-driven analytics over security, said Andrea Matwyshyn, professor of law and engineering policy at Penn State Dickinson Law.<\/p>\n<p>See Also: A Modern Approach to Data Security<\/p>\n<p>Privacy concerns will grow as developers combine neural devices with predictive AI systems and internet of things connectivity, Matwyshyn said. What&#8217;s to stop companies from repurposing sensitive neural data for marketing, surveillance or behavioral analysis? <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, implanted technologies also potentially create unique long-term risks because devices may outlast the companies or software ecosystems supporting them, she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Imagine all of the problems of social media tools combined with all the security issues and other kinds of confidentiality problems of the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/neural-device-implants-emerging-privacy-security-risks-a-31759\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neural Device Implants: Emerging Privacy, Security Risks https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/neural-device-implants-emerging-privacy-security-risks-a-31759 Publish Date: 2026-05-25 07:36:00 Source Domain: www.bankinfosecurity.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":254783,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/ismg-cdn.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/articles\/neural-device-implants-emerging-privacy-security-risks-image_large-9-a-31759.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254782"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254784,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254782\/revisions\/254784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
