The red-hot data privacy and security arena shows no signs of cooling off in 2024, with the enforcement of several new state privacy laws expected to heat up and artificial intelligence continuing to drive the creation of regulations at an unprecedented clip. Here are some of the top policy developments that will bear tracking in 2024. "Regulators are not wanting to make the same mistake with AI that they did with cybersecurity and privacy by taking more of a hands-off approach and letting the market achieve results on its own," Jud Welle, a Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity partner, said to Law360. In addition to lawmakers, regulators are also expected to play a major role in the AI field in the upcoming year.
