From a major privacy summit to a regional AI event, experts across sectors are emphasizing that regulatory scrutiny is intensifying while AI capabilities and risks are accelerating. State privacy regulators are coordinating enforcement efforts, actively monitoring how companies handle privacy rights requests and whether cookie consent platforms work as they should. At the same time, AI tools are advancing rapidly with limited regulatory oversight, raising serious ethical and societal concerns. What practical lessons can businesses take from IAPP’s 2025 Global Privacy Summit and Atlanta’s AI Week to strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and prepare for what’s ahead?

At the 2025 IAPP Global Privacy Summit, a major theme emerged: state privacy regulators are collaborating on enforcement more closely than ever before. When it comes to honoring privacy rights, this collaboration spans early inquiry stages through active enforcement, making it critical for businesses to establish, regularly test, and monitor their privacy rights processes. It also means that companies need to audit cookie consent platforms regularly, ensure compliance with universal opt-out signals like the Global Privacy Control, and align privacy notices with actual practices. Regulatory enforcement advisories and FAQs should be treated as essential readings to stay current on regulators' priorities. Likewise at the inaugural Atlanta AI Week, national security and ethical concerns came into sharper focus. Despite promises of localized data storage, some social media platforms and apps continue to raise alarms over foreign governments’ potential access to personal data. While experts encourage experimentation and practical application of AI tools, they are also urging businesses to remain vigilant to threats such as deepfakes, AI-driven misinformation, and the broader societal implications of unchecked AI development.

In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi Daniels, Founder and CEO of Red Clover Advisors, and Justin Daniels, Shareholder and Corporate Attorney at Baker Donelson, share their top takeaways from the IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2025 and the inaugural Atlanta AI Week. Jodi highlights practical steps for improving privacy rights request handling, the importance of regularly testing cookie consent management platforms, and ensuring published privacy notices reflect actual practices. Justin discusses the ethical challenges surrounding AI's rapid growth, the national security risks tied to social media platforms, and the dangers posed by deepfake technology. Together, Jodi and Justin emphasize the importance of continuous education, collaboration, and proactive action to prepare businesses for the future of privacy and AI.
