My profile background—“la red viviente”—translates to “the living web.” In Panama’s Biomuseo, it referred to the intricately balanced ecosystem. But the sentiment holds true for our digital living web too, requiring both organic but thoughtful evolution #techlaw #digitalecosystem
Rule #1 of naming federal things: you want an acronym that can be pronounced. Dept of Government Efficiency…. really?? Wouldn’t “Dept of Efficiencies in Government” saved minutes in written and verbal comms by being able to say DEG? #alreadyinefficient
Alright last comment on this for now. I usually use this account for tech law and adjacent topics, but today’s headlines brought me back to Twitter

And the winner of financial disclosures is... Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who reported that Beyonce Knowles-Carter gifted her four concert tickets valued at $3,711.84.
Curious to compare this press release with @StanfordHAI's more detailed tracker about the roll-out of all the federal government AI mandates from Executive Order 14110 (pending updates) docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
Today, US federal agencies reported that they completed all of the 180-day actions in Pres. Biden’s EO on AI from last Oct. on schedule: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
Read for our analysis of biometric privacy in the US (h/t @KirkJNahrawork, @AliJay24, & Sam) and/or admire all of the citations to unpublished BIPA cases that I also had to format (#iykyk). #biometricprivacy #BIPA
WilmerHale’s Cybersecurity and Privacy team outline how the rules governing biometric data reflect US privacy at large in the April 2024 issue of the @CompPolicyInt TechREG Chronicle.

The bill draft that caused quite the stir on Capitol Hill ! @AliJay24, @KirkJNahrawork, and I weigh in on APRA

#FTC and other global regulators starting to buff up their technical expertise 👀 #AIregulation #AIgovernance
1. Today, 24 competition and consumer protection enforcement agencies issued a statement that makes clear that integrating technologists and technical experts into the policy and enforcement process is of global importance: bit.ly/3x5NlES

🚨CT's much-anticipated SB 2 regulating high-risk and generative AI systems has officially dropped. This bill and CA AB 331 (now AB 2930) have a significant focus on AI discrimination, & given the priority numbering, we can likely anticipate movement. cga.ct.gov/2024/TOB/S/PDF/20…
New California effort to add another label for an actor in the digital data ecosystem. I guess “processor” and “user” were already taken. “Data trainer” makes me think of Pokémon. I mean, yeah ok I guess “data digester”?
New California privacy law definition that will never catch on just dropped

Commissioner @BedoyaFTC (formerly Prof Bedoya to me) w another thoughtful and holistic look at the mechanisms for accountability. Investigative journalism and long-form pieces are a dying and desperately needed art. Bravo for doing your part to shine a light on the industry!
1/ People need to understand that good government is not possible without great journalists. With all of the layoffs, I’m going to try to do a better job at flagging when my own thinking @FTC is informed by investigative reporting. I’ll start today…
As a woman in her 30s, I am feeling targeted by the “This is 35. Skin changes” poster ad by @Sephora in the #NYCsubway. Wondering what algorithm they’re using 😆 #analogadtech #privacyjokes #goodmorning
Rite Aid stores scanned the faces of every customer and compared them to a database of "persons of interest" to ID potential shop lifters. Unsurprisingly, system was rife with misIDs and racial discrimination. FTC put their foot down w this groundbreaking AI case. Analysis here!
This blog post summarizes the FTC’s complaint, detailing its formal counts against Rite Aid and supporting allegations, while also highlighting key takeaways that companies currently deploying or interested in deploying #AI technology should note. bit.ly/3vxLV5l
Probably should have made sure the blog admin knew my account exists! #newhirewoes. But take a look at this brief retrospective we wrote for US privacy in 2023. Excited to see how 2024 will change the narrative! #dataprivacy #PrivacyMatters #theworkcontinues
In this blog post, @KirkJNahrawork, @AliJay24 and Amy Olivero summarize the top 10 data privacy developments in 2023 from a US perspective.
