Deciphering California’s Pioneering Mandate for an AI Nutrition Label
California has created the first nutrition label for generative AI (Gen AI). The AI Training Data Transparency Act (CAIT‑D) requires an AI developer, which is broadly defined, to post on its website 12 details about datasets it uses for training AI. This article, with insights from attorneys at BakerHostetler, Carlton Fields, IAPP and Luminos Law, explains the new requirements, CAIT‑D’s benefits and shortcomings for downstream AI governance professionals, and how it compares to requirements in the E.U. and Colorado laws on AI. It also discusses the extent to which the law applies to workplace use of AI and the many companies adapting Gen AI models.

Cybersecurity and Privacy: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a good time to visit the latest evidence of how cybersecurity and privacy are overlapping and often blending, evident in the convergence of laws and regulations in the space. Many frameworks also contain both cyber and privacy elements. There is overlap in regulatory enforcement as well – just last week, the FTC’s settlement with Marriott and Starwood to resolve charges that lax data security led to three large data breaches included both privacy and cybersecurity mandates. Despite the ties, there is still a hint of tension in how to govern data privacy and cybersecurity to ensure a cohesive, continued alignment. In this guest article, Divya Sridhar, vice president, global privacy division and privacy initiatives operations, and Leah Smyle, privacy compliance coordinator, both at BBB National Programs, examine and offer perspective on the crossover, and provide a plan of action for closing the gaps between these two operations and putting coordinated efforts to work. See “Fostering Collaboration and Communication Between Security and Compliance” (Mar. 13, 2024). Read full article …
Meeting DOJ Expectations Post-Resolution Requires Realism and Accountability

In a recent panel hosted by Ethico, Sidley Austin partner and former Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite, compliance consultant and former DOJ Compliance Counsel Expert Hui Chen, and compliance consultant and former Albemarle CCO Andrew McBride discussed the intricacies and challenges of navigating the aftermath of regulatory resolutions. This article summarizes the key takeaways from the discussion, including who manages continued communications with the DOJ, how much to report and accountability.
