(60a)Advances in neurotechnology and artificial intelligence make it possible to derive information about individuals’ cognitive, emotional and mental states, including through the automated processing of personal data other than that directly collected by the nervous system. With a view to providing a high level of protection for fundamental rights, it should be clarified that Regulation (EU) 2016/679 also applies to processing operations that produce cognitive inferences likely to affect a person’s dignity, decision-making autonomy and free development.
