Legal Developments Related to BCI | Alex Feerst

Attorney Alex Feerst served as general council at Neuralink for two years and currently represents leading BCI companies, such as Science.xyz. In this talk at LabWeek Field Building, Feerst explores the intricate world of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), providing a unique perspective on the legal landscape of this technology.
Feerst discusses the challenges of creating laws for rapidly evolving technologies, the debate between specific and existing legal frameworks, and the implications of BCI technology on privacy, intellectual property, and mental state assessments. He also covers notable laws and regulations impacting the BCI field, potential pitfalls of hasty legislation, and the importance of thoughtful, measured approaches to lawmaking.
