Kevin Werbach interviews Brenda Leong, Director of the AI division at boutique technology law firm ZwillGen, to explore how legal practitioners are adapting to the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Leong explains why meaningful AI audits require deep collaboration between lawyers and data scientists, arguing that legal systems have not kept pace with the speed and complexity of technological change. Drawing on her experience at Luminos.Law—one of the first AI-specialist law firms—she outlines how companies can leverage existing regulations, industry-specific expectations, and contextual risk assessments to build practical, responsible AI governance frameworks. Leong emphasizes that many organizations now treat AI oversight not just as a legal compliance issue, but as a critical business function. As AI tools become more deeply embedded in legal workflows and core operations, she highlights the growing need for cautious interpretation, technical fluency, and continuous adaptation within the legal field. Brenda Leong is Director of ZwillGen's AI Division, where she leads legal-technical collaboration on AI governance, risk management, and model audits. Formerly Managing Partner at Luminos.Law, she pioneered many of the audit practices now used at ZwillGen. She serves on the Advisory Board of the IAPP AI Center, teaches AI law at IE University, and previously led AI and ethics work at the Future of Privacy Forum.  Transcript   AI Audits: Who, When, How...Or Even If?   Why Red Teaming Matters Even More When AI Starts Setting Its Own Agenda      

I used to think of my car as just a tool to get from point A to point B. But after this conversation, I can't help but see it as something else entirely, a powerful data collection device that knows far more about me than I realized. From where I go and who I text to how I drive and even what's on my phone, today's vehicles are gathering a staggering amount of personal information. In this episode, I talk with Andrea Amico, the founder of Privacy4Cars. Andrea is one of the leading voices in automotive data privacy and someone who's spent years uncovering the hidden ways cars collect, store, and share our information. He breaks down how connected cars work, what's actually being tracked, and why it matters not just for your privacy, but for your safety and finances too. We get into everything from rental car risks and data left behind when you sell a car, to how automakers and third parties might be profiting off your data without your knowledge. If you've ever paired your phone with a vehicle or assumed your texts disappear when you disconnect, this episode is going to change the way you think about driving and how to take back control. Show Notes: [01:28] Andrea started Privacy4Cars because cars collect a lot of data. There were zero protections for privacy and security. He's dedicated to turning your car into a more private space and giving you more choice, understanding, and control. [02:25] We talk about when cars started collecting data. OnStar started about 25 years ago. Things really began to evolve when Bluetooth and navigation became common. [03:12] Things really exploded with modern telematics which is like putting a cell phone inside your car that calls home all the time. The average car collects around 25 GB of data per day. [04:08] We talk about the type of data that is collected by cars from GPS to having your phone collected and the car even knowing your weight. [05:26] The sensors in your car know exactly how you drive. [06:46] Informed consumers are better off. These data collecting policies are usually hidden in the car manufacturers privacy policies. [08:46] You can find your car's privacy policy at Vehicle Privacy Report. [10:21] The goal is to make the car manufacturer's behavior visible to consumers, because that's the way to drive better company behavior. [11:26] When you rent a car and when you sell a car, your car is like a giant unencrypted hard drive that contains your data. [12:06] We should wipe the data in our cars the same way we wipe the data in our phones when we replace them. [13:05] You can find a tool to help remove data from your car at Privacy4Cars. [14:21] We talk about what rental cars get from your connected phone.  [17:24] Found data can be used in targeted spear phishing attacks. [19:18] Most cars since 2017 have a SIM card. If a prior owner consented to data collection, that data is still being collected when you take over the car. [22:15] Ford estimated that they would make $2,000 per car per year from data services. [24:17] It's common for cars to even have a camera that looks at you. In a few years it might be common for vehicles to monitor for things like intoxication. [26:56] Organizations creating standards like the Future of Privacy Forum. [29:09] Cars have an EDR electronic data recorder. It's like a black box for when an accident happens. [34:05] Delete data when you buy, rent, or sell a car. Opt out if you can. [36:33] Think about your car just like your computers and your phone. [37:15] Andrea shares a story about how an ex-spouse was able to duplicate her key. The dealer wanted $1,000 to reset her car. [40:23] Parting advice includes looking up your car's VIN at Vehicle Privacy Report. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Though it came close in recent years, federal privacy legislation is not likely top of mind as a new administration takes the reigns in Washington, DC. The same likely goes for federal AI governance and safety legislation with a divided Congress and executive branch that promotes a deregulatory posture. That means state-level privacy and AI bills will proliferate in 2025. Connecticut was the 5th U.S. state to a pass comprehensive privacy law, and Connecticut State Senator James Maroney played a large role in crafting his state's bill. Maroney is now working on AI legislation and takes part in the Future of Privacy Forum's Multistate AI Policymaker Working Group, which comprises more than 200 bipartisan state lawmakers and other government officials, with the aim to “foster a shared understanding of emerging technologies and related policy issues.” IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy recently caught up with Maroney to discuss his work on privacy, his experience working with other policymakers in the multistate working group, and what to expect from AI legislation in Connecticut this coming year. 

On January 15, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, a case involving Texas H.B. 1181, which is a law that imposes an age-verification requirement for adult sexual content websites. While content filtering has been used in the past by parents to regulate their children’s access to adult websites, the rapid advancement of technology in the past 20 years has raised concerns about the success of content filtering. The age verification requirement poses a more effective alternative, but if implemented, it could have implications for privacy concerns and free speech rights. Jennifer Huddleston from the Cato Institute is joined by Clare Morell of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Bailey Sanchez of the Future of Privacy Forum, and Shoshana Weissmann of the R Street Policy Institute, to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of age verification laws, the policy implications of H.B. 1181, and the potential outcome of the Supreme Court case.

AI impact assessments are becoming increasingly important as organizations deploy more AI technologies, and this episode of AI Issue Spotting is here to break down why they matter. These assessments help organizations answer critical questions about their AI systems, from how they work to how they address potential legal risks like bias, safety, and privacy. Scott Loughlin is joined by Daniel Berrick, Senior Policy Counsel for Artificial Intelligence at the Future of Privacy Forum, to discuss the latest practices and trends in AI Impact Assessments.

What should we celebrate on January 28th? What is the difference between Privacy and Data Protection? What about Data Privacy? Will Data Protection (or Data Privacy) evolve to encompass many of the things we now discuss in the context of AI regulation? We have asked Carissa Véliz (Oxford University), Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna (Future of Privacy Forum), Markus Wünschelbaum (Advisor, Hamburg Data Protection Authority), Brendan Quinn, and Tim Turner.  What do you think?

The year 2024 proved to be another robust one for emerging U.S. state privacy law. Seven states joined the ranks, bringing the total up to 19.   Unlike previous years, however, 2024 underwent a paradigm shift away from the standard framework influenced by the draft Washington State Privacy Act. For the Future of Privacy Forum's Keir Lamont, CIPP/US, and Husch Blackwell's David Stauss, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPT, FIP, PLS, 2024 marked the end of what Lamont calls the "Pax Washingtonia" era for state privacy law.   While attending the IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. conference in Los Angeles, California, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Lamont and Stauss to discuss this busy year in state privacy law, as well as what to expect with rulemaking and enforcement at the state level.

Omer Tene is a Partner in Goodwin's Technology group and Data, Privacy, and Cybersecurity practice. For the past two decades, he has consulted governments, regulatory agencies, and businesses on privacy, cybersecurity, and data management. Omer is also an Affiliate Scholar at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society and a Senior Fellow at the Future of Privacy Forum. Before Goodwin, he was the Chief Knowledge Officer at the IAPP. In this episode… The US privacy landscape is rapidly evolving, as more states enforce privacy regulations similar to California's comprehensive privacy law. In 2025, eight new privacy laws will come into force — even states without comprehensive privacy laws are imposing regulations to protect consumer data. Notably, New York, where the New York Attorney General recently established guidelines around cookies and tracking technologies emphasizing the need for companies to properly categorize cookies and configure consent mechanisms. The NY AG has also proposed regulations surrounding kids' privacy, like the Child Data Protection Act, that will impact how companies process children's data. As the US privacy landscape becomes an increasingly complex web of regulations, how can companies prepare for what lies ahead? Beyond New York, privacy regulations around kids' data are gaining momentum across the US, with laws like the California's Age-Appropriate Design Code aiming to protect minors from harmful content. Regulations on kids' privacy include everything from age verifications that restrict the sale of minors' data to design codes that protect children from exposure to harmful internet content. These guidelines have garnered pushback in states like California, where businesses claim violation of the First Amendment, consequently delaying enforcement. Regardless, companies should prepare to respond to these regulations that govern the collection, processing, and sale of children's data. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome Omer Tene, a Partner at Goodwin, to explore the complexities of evolving privacy regulations, specifically on children's data. Omer shares his insights on the nuances of various privacy regulations, ethical challenges surrounding children's data protection, and the potential future of privacy legislation. Omer maintains that although some regulations have not yet been enforced, companies should take a proactive approach adapting to these new regulations as the privacy landscape shifts.

It goes without saying that privacy and the creation of laws and regulations around it are fundamental to determining how we will live and work with technology, and whether technology operates in service of democratic societies or only in service of governments and corporations. A couple of weeks ago, Justin Hendrix had a chance to speak with two leaders from the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF)-Jules Polonetsky, its CEO, and Anne J. Flanagan, the head of its new Center on AI. They discussed the recent US Supreme Court decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine and its implications for privacy legislation in the United States, the fierce battle over privacy laws in the US, and potential conflicts between Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new AI Act. And, they talked about how the 15-year-old Future of Privacy Forum envisions its role in the age of artificial intelligence.

We last talked with Jules on March 17, 2021 over 3 years ago!  A LOT has happened since.  That episode was a career retro covering Jules' time @ AOL, DoubleClick and in government.   This time we dig in with Jules on the current global and US privacy laws, Artificial Intelligence, Clean Rooms, Public Policy and the role of “think tanks” in both society and in the privacy community.

Keir Lamont is the Director for U.S. Legislation at the Future of Privacy Forum. In this position, he supports research and independent analysis concerning federal, state, and local consumer privacy laws and regulations. His background includes privacy and policy positions at The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law and the Computer & Communications Industry Association. In this episode… In the United States, there is a constant tension between federal and state laws. The intersection of the two has been a constant source of consternation for many regulators and litigators over the years. This is especially true for privacy laws. As each state is defining and redefining their privacy regulations, it becomes more crucial than ever to stay on top of changes. These shifts are far from random — patterns emerge from states influencing others with their approach to privacy and data. Studying these movements can inform regulators and help prepare for the future — here is what the experts are saying on the matter. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Keir Lamont, the Director for U.S. Legislation at The Future of Privacy Forum, to learn more about privacy laws at the state level. They go through the unique trends, patchwork legislation, the precedent set by Washington's My Health My Data Act, and what regulators should know going into the future.

Physical location is becoming less and less relevant as more data is stored away from the patients. Since Washington hosts such massive servers, they have found themselves in the sights of legislative action. The Washington My Health, My Data Act seeks to protect consumers both in the state and those whose data is collected there. Due to the scope of the Act, businesses and legal professionals are still working to understand the resulting nuances. How does this affect businesses and healthcare facilities? Which consents and requirements will be required? Most importantly, how does this tangibly help consumer privacy? In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, Justin and Jodi Daniels sit down with Mike Hintze to break down the Washington My Health, My Data Act. They define consumer health data, how it is designed to be protected, and the ramifications for institutions.

From Politico: There have been 27 different bills proposed across 16 states pushing for kids' privacy and safety regulations by February of this year, according to analysis from the Future of Privacy Forum. Many of these bills share similarities, like banning targeted advertising to children, or banning addictive designs from social networks. Numerous states are taking up kids' online safety bills this year, a handful are including parental oversight requirements as part of their strategy. Lawmakers in Maryland and California have proposed such regulation. Utah last month wrote it into law.But, in trying to protect children by requiring  that their parents oversee their social media use...and requiring that socials ASK children to prove they are children...thereby divulging private information...are the laws designed to protect minors actually going to infringe on the privacy of those minors?Bob wanted to know!   He invited Romaine Marshall, one of the country's top cybersecurity and privacy lawyers to join the show...Romaine happens to be HQ'd in Utah...and has been a dad to a teenager...who best to ask about these types of laws...and what they mean for privacy going forward.BUT WE COULDN'T STOP THERE...Because computers control everything in our society...from power grids to watersheds to traffic systems...cybersecurity is critical to our country's safety...and Romaine has been busy protecting  the world from bad hackters...listen in.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, we are joined by Ms. Caitlin Chin to discuss the debate around TikTok in the United States and the question of China's influence over the platform. Ms. Chin explains the conversation around the U.S.' proposed ban of TikTok, describing that supporters worry that user information will fall into the hands of the Chinese government, while opponents worry about restrictions on free expression. Despite TikTok's denial that Beijing has or would obtain access to its data, Ms. Chin suggests deep mistrust between the U.S. and China has prevented U.S. lawmakers from accepting these claims. Lastly, Ms. Chin looks to India as an analogue for what could happen if the United States banned TikTok, noting that TikTok's exit in India caused an increase in users for domestic social media platforms.    Caitlin Chin is a Fellow with the Strategic Technologies Program at CSIS. Ms. Chin previously worked as a research analyst at the Brookings Institution, where her projects centered around U.S. federal and state legislation related to information privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic bias. She has spoken on C-SPAN, NPR, and France 24, and her work has been cited by the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Future of Privacy Forum. Ms. Chin has a BA in government and Spanish from the University of Maryland and an MPP from Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy.

In this episode… The emergence of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots has added another layer to the convoluted privacy landscape, further solidifying the need for comprehensive regulations. So what should corporations and lawmakers consider when protecting consumer and public privacy? Companies often have a superficial understanding of customer data, lacking consideration for the nuances and categories of each set. But ChatGPT has introduced additional bias, which can lead to legal consequences. Privacy law advocate Jules Polonetsky says that to ensure AI remains compliant, organizations must apply data protection laws to public data sets. The Future of Privacy Forum offers a collaborative space to create and enforce policies and resolve pressing issues in the space. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome CEO of the Future of Privacy Forum Jules Polonetsky to discuss AI's privacy ramifications. Jules explains how to incorporate AI into global data protection laws, privacy's nuances and industry developments, and how to protect privacy when using AI chatbots.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind! Today, class is in session for Health Privacy 101 with Jordan Wrigley and Kirk Nahra. In May 2022, the leaked SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade shocked the nation. About a month later, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case officially overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Last year, we talked with EFF's Eva Galperin on the Tech Policy Grind about how technology could amplify surveillance on women's reproductive health in a Post-Dobbs world. Around the same time, The Federal Trade Commission, the White House, civil society, industry, and lots of other stakeholders got to thinking - what is the role of digital privacy and security in protecting women from being prosecuted by their state or local governments for receiving life-saving care? In this episode, we revisit that subject, under a broader lens. Reema sits down with Kirk Nahra, partner and co-chair of the privacy and cybersecurity practice at Wilmer Hale, a large international law firm, and Jordan Wrigley, a health privacy researcher at the Future of Privacy Forum, who is leading FPF's Health Privacy Working Group. Kirk and Jordan are some of the leading health data privacy experts in the country. We get into what the American legal landscape looks like for health privacy, some of the FTC's recent actions in this space, and more.

I interview Jameson Spivack, who is a senior policy analyst at the Future of Privacy Forum leading their work on Immersive [XR] Technologies of VR/AR/MR, neurotech, BCIs, biometrics, ad practices, and regulatory frameworks. We talk about how there are gaps in existing privacy frameworks here in the United States, and the work that he's doing to help educate consumers, and technology companies of the current policy debates. The Future of Privacy Forum isn't advocating for any specific legislation, but sits as an intermediary between technology companies like Meta who are funders, and the rest of civil society and academics keeping tabs on privacy discussions. They end up doing lots of consumer education efforts like this infographic that maps out XR technology data flows, and blog posts that elaborate on XR functions and various privacy and data protection risks and mitigation strategies.
