2024 Expectations From the SEC on AI, Cybersecurity and ESG

Organizations will likely remain hesitant to publicize at an early stage whether an incident has a significant impact on current or future revenues and it may take time for them to factor in reputation risk and loss of customer or investor trust into their determinations.

It is possible that the SEC will continue to interpret poorly considered or excessively risk-averse communications strategies as misrepresentations, meaning that organizations must have effective strategies in place ahead of an incident.

The SEC’s new climate disclosure rule has attracted legal and political challenges,8 given the current politicization of ESG.

These challenges will test how much climate information the SEC can require from companies under their existing legal authority.

GDPR, EU AI Act Will Overlap as Businesses Face Enforcement

DPAs function as independent public authorities that monitor and enforce the EU's data protection law, which governs data privacy and security and grants data rights to individuals.

While the GDPR focuses on data, DPAs can pursue investigations tied to technology such as artificial intelligence.

The newly adopted EU AI Act provides more comprehensive AI regulation, asking companies to categorize their AI systems into different risk levels and produce impact assessments.

The EU AI Act also asks member states to establish governing bodies to oversee the law's implementation.

Meanwhile, DPAs have already brought multiple AI-related enforcement actions against companies under the GDPR, and some DPA members are advocating that the DPAs should serve as EU AI Act enforcers as well, given how the GDPR and the EU AI Act could overlap in some ways.

Companies Line Up to Undercut Key Data Privacy Law

The law allows law enforcement officials such as judges, police officers and prosecutors to request companies stop sharing information such as their home address and phone number.

It also allows the officials to sue companies that don’t comply.

Data brokers have come under fire by privacy advocates and lawmakers in recent years, but the New Jersey law is one of the few laws passed to regulate them, and perhaps the toughest.

While some states now require data brokers to delete people’s information upon request, the lack of enforcement and the difficulty for consumers to opt out often allows data brokers to maintain the status quo.

The Real Battle for Data Privacy Begins When You Die

The people we love will die, but their data will continue to live indefinitely, digital ghosts in the cloud.

At the moment, there’s nothing stopping the Metas and Googles of the world from exploiting them—or perhaps worse, erasing them permanently.

Facebook turns death reported account as “memorialized account.”According to the company’s policy at the time, no one could access memorialized accounts, even with a password.

Facebook’s “memorialized” accounts, which turn the profile into a tribute page where friends can visit and post, are designed to be static.

In 2015 the company added a feature that allows a user to arrange for a “legacy contact” to manage the page after the account holder’s death.

But the contact can’t log in or read messages; they are able to curate tribute posts or request that accounts be removed.

US companies can collect and store any personal data about you they like, provided they disclose this fact in their privacy policy – which can be worded in extremely general terms.
