    AI, IP, and enforcement – Fair use, DMCA shifts, and what comes next

    AI and intellectual property are evolving fast – and creating real uncertainty for companies building with or around AI.  This episode of The Data Chronicles breaks down the key IP claims emerging today, from copyright and DMCA theories to right of publicity, trademark, and output based risks.  We look at how early court decisions are treating AI training and outputs, why plaintiffs are pivoting toward DMCA and misattribution claims, and where regulators like the FTC may (and may not) step in.  We close with a practical checklist for organizations using or developing AI, as the landscape continues to shift.

    Data Brokers | State patchwork, federal pressure, and emerging risks

    Data brokers sit at the center of a fast-shifting legal landscape.  This episode of The Data Chronicles breaks down the expanding patchwork of state data broker laws, from registration and public listings to how these obligations interact with broader privacy requirements. It also looks at the stigma tied to the “data broker” label, how regulators and plaintiffs’ lawyers are using registration data to target scrutiny, and the added federal pressure created by PADFA and the DOJ’s Data Security Program.  The discussion closes with a practical checklist for companies that license or share data, including how to identify if you may be a data broker, where exemptions could apply, and what steps help reduce registration and enforcement risk.

    A new FTC era | Evolving data enforcement and the road to 2026

    What can businesses expect from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on privacy and data enforcement as we move into 2026? In this episode of The Data Chronicles, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Cobun Zweifel-Keegan, Managing Director at the IAPP, for a practical year-end review of the FTC’s 2025 enforcement priorities and what they signal for the year ahead.   Together, Scott and Cobun break down how a change in administration reshaped the agency’s focus this year, with heightened attention on children’s and teens’ privacy, COPPA enforcement, cross-platform data collection, and growing concerns around the sale of Americans’ sensitive information to foreign adversary countries. They also discuss the FTC’s evolving view of privacy as both a consumer protection and national security issue.   The conversation also covers the operational and strategic impact of the FTC operating with only two sitting commissioners, and how today’s enforcement posture compares with the more aggressive approach under the prior administration.

    India’s DPDPA brought into force

    India has taken a major step in reshaping its digital future. After years of drafts and debate, the country has finalized the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and issued detailed rules that bring the law fully to life. With implementation now scheduled over the next 18 months, organizations have clear timelines and a more definitive view of the significant compliance work ahead.  In this episode, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Stephen Mathias, partner and head of the Bangalore office at Kochhar & Company, and Hogan Lovells partner Charmian Aw, who leads the Hogan Lovells APAC Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity practice. Together, they discuss the core features of India’s new law, including its consent-based framework, extraterritorial reach, and parallels with the EU GDPR.  The conversation covers the key steps companies should be taking now, from redesigning data architecture and consent flows to assessing breach response readiness. The episode also explores global business implications, enforcement expectations, and how the DPDPA fits into the broader regional privacy landscape.  Whether you’re operating in India or serving customers there, this discussion offers practical insights on what’s changing, why it matters, and how to prepare.

    The Data Chronicles | The U.S. Data Security Program and the future of cross-border data

    The U.S. Department of Justice’s Data Security Program is reshaping how companies manage cross-border data activities. This episode of The Data Chronicles breaks down what the rule does, why it was created, and the types of transactions it restricts or prohibits—from data brokerage to vendor access to bulk genomic data. Host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells partner James Denvil and associate Lorea Mendiguren to walk through the rule’s core elements and the open questions around implementation, risk, and compliance. They share practical insights from advising companies in e-commerce, health, and life sciences as they adjust to this new national-security-driven framework.

    Checking in on APAC | Regulating for innovation

    In this episode of The Data Chronicles, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells partners Eduardo Ustaran and Charmian Aw to examine how regulators are rethinking the relationship between AI, innovation, and privacy. They discuss why many regulators view data protection rules not as obstacles, but as guardrails that can support responsible AI development through tools like impact assessments, transparency, and data minimization.   Eduardo shares insights from the Global Privacy Assembly, which brought together more than 140 data protection authorities from over 90 countries for regulator-led discussions on AI in daily life, cross-border data transfers, children’s privacy, privacy-enhancing technologies, and other issues shaping global enforcement trends. Charmian, who leads the firm’s Asia-Pacific Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity team, adds an APAC perspective with takeaways from the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Forum and the region’s growing push for interoperability in data transfers and enforcement cooperation.   We also highlight the launch of our Asia Pacific Privacy Legislation Tracker, a new tool that compares privacy requirements across APAC jurisdictions designed to support companies in navigating the region’s evolving data protection landscape.

  8. How states are shaping AI legislation

    How states are shaping AI legislation

    How are U.S. states shaping the future of artificial intelligence? In this episode of The Data Chronicles, we unpack The State of State AI, the latest report from the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) analyzing more than 200 AI-related bills introduced across 42 states.  Host Scott Loughlin is joined by Justine Gluck, a policy analyst at FPF, to discuss how lawmakers are shifting toward targeted, transparency-driven regulation, focusing on areas such as healthcare, chatbot use, liability frameworks, and innovation sandboxes, rather than pursuing a single sweeping national approach. Together, they explore how these trends signal where AI policymaking is headed and what it means for developers, deployers, and consumers.
