China issues first global standard for AI-powered brain-computer interfaces
China has introduced the world's first standard regulating AI-driven brain-computer interface devices, aiming to unify data quality and development.
China has launched the inaugural global standard for AI-driven brain-computer interface devices, aiming to ensure consistent data quality and progress. The National Medical Products Administration unveiled the world's first international standard for AI-powered brain-computer interfaces on Tuesday, making it the country's third national standard in this sector.
The administration clarified that the new standard dictates criteria for gathering, processing, storing, and accessing electroencephalogram (EEG) data, as well as techniques for assessing data quality. The objective is to standardize dataset creation and monitor their quality within medical devices. According to Xinhua News Agency, EEG data is crucial for training AI algorithms to interpret brain signals and discern patient intentions, directly influencing the performance and safety of medical devices.
China has already issued two standards for these devices in 2025. The novel standard will become enforceable on September 1, 2027.
