The U.S. Air Force tests AI headphones with brainwave sensors to monitor pilots' mental states, raising privacy and ethical concerns.
The U.S. Air Force is testing AI-powered headphones with EEG sensors to monitor service members’ cognitive fitness in real time, part of a $3 billion Pentagon push into brain-computer interfaces.
The $1.2 million project, led by neurotech firm Neurable, uses non-invasive brainwave tracking to assess focus and alert users to mental fatigue, aiming to boost performance.
While the technology is framed as a tool for enhancing readiness and well-being, experts warn of serious privacy and ethical risks, including potential misuse of neural data and threats to autonomy.
They stress that current laws like HIPAA do not adequately protect brain data and call for stronger safeguards and ongoing informed consent.
