Update on AI legislation and more

AI is the shiny new object on the floor of Congress. That's generally not a great thing for AI, but it's making things even more difficult on the data privacy front as it's taking focus away. Without a federal law it's on the states to manage data privacy legislation. This creates extreme fragmentation! Do you know how to manage your data stream for the unique legislation that is already enacted across 15 states currently? How about the additional 17 states that have some level of legislation in the works? Are you willing to take the risk? We call this the "cost of inaction". What's the literal cost of ignoring one of the biggest trends in marketing? We can help you assess this figurative & literal cost. -- #dataprivacy #MarketingTrends
