The EU’s New AI Code of Practice: A Practical Guide to Labeling Deepfakes and Why It Matters
The European Union has long positioned itself as a global leader in tech regulation, and its latest move on artificial intelligence is no exception. In late last year, the European Commission released a draft Code of Practice focused on the transparency of AI-generated content—essentially a roadmap for how companies should label deepfakes and other synthetic […]
Outrage Erupts as Elon Musk’s Grok AI Goes Rogue: Flood of AI-Generated Nudes and Deepfake Porn Sparks UK Fury and Global Scandal
Elon Musk’s “uncensored” AI chatbot Grok has plunged into a scorching international firestorm after users exploited its powerful image generator to churn out explicit deepfake nudes of celebrities, politicians, teachers, and even underage girls—triggering a furious threat from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to seize control of the technology if Musk refuses to rein it […]
Privacy and AI: Three Myths That Don’t Survive Contact With Reality
As artificial intelligence moves from experimentation to day-to-day operations, a familiar pattern has emerged inside organizations: the technology evolves quickly, while the stories people tell themselves about risk evolve slowly. In a recent piece for the AEPD Laboratory (the innovation and analysis space of Spain’s data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos), […]
AI Liability Is Forcing Insurance to Confront a New Kind of Risk
Artificial intelligence is no longer a speculative technology sitting on the edge of enterprise operations. It is embedded in customer interactions, internal workflows, fraud detection, content generation, and decision-making systems across nearly every industry. As adoption accelerates, a new tension has emerged — not between innovation and regulation, but between AI-driven risk and the insurance […]
Why Privacy Teams Are Central to Effective AI Governance
As organizations scale AI deployment, a key governance gap has become clear: AI governance is too often treated as a technology problem, when it is fundamentally a governance challenge shaped by legal, ethical, and risk considerations. This gap is most evident in the absence of meaningful privacy leadership in AI governance structures. From a privacy […]
The Grok Deepfake Crisis: A Biometric Privacy Disaster That Regulators Missed
When Ofcom launched its investigation into X under the UK’s Online Safety Act over Grok’s image generation capabilities, the headlines focused on child safety and non-consensual imagery. What privacy professionals should recognize is something far more systemic: the mass processing of biometric data without consent, at industrial scale, in direct violation of established data protection […]
Bringing Trustworthy AI into the Doctor’s Office
The way health care is delivered is changing fast, and artificial intelligence is increasingly part of that transformation. From tools that help diagnose conditions to systems that assist clinicians with treatment planning, AI promises to improve quality, expand access, and reduce inefficiencies. But with these opportunities come serious questions about trust. Patients, clinicians, and regulators […]

Kathy Hochul’s AI Safety and Transparency Law (RAISE Act): What It Requires, Why It Matters, and How It Stacks Up Against Other State AI Laws
New York’s Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (commonly referred to as the “RAISE Act”) represents a consequential shift in U.S. artificial intelligence governance: rather than attempting to ban categories of AI or require pre-approval for model releases, New York has chosen a transparency-and-accountability framework aimed squarely at the most powerful “frontier” AI developers. In […]
Congress Confronts Rising Threat of AI-Powered Cyberattacks
Congressional lawmakers confronted a stark reality on December 17th: emerging technologies are fundamentally reshaping America’s cybersecurity landscape, and defensive strategies must evolve rapidly to match the threat. Two House Homeland Security subcommittees convened tech industry leaders and security experts to examine how artificial intelligence and quantum computing capabilities are empowering increasingly sophisticated attacks against U.S. […]
