Key themes included increased state-level AI regulation focused on transparency and accountability, evolving FTC enforcement priorities centered on effective remedies, and the need for ongoing, technical compliance for cookies and data systems. Overall, organizations must treat privacy programs as continuous, testable, and resource-intensive operations.
