Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (Proposed, 2022)
This proposed federal legislation aims to prevent dominant online platforms from engaging in self-preferencing and discriminatory practices that harm competition.
While still proposed, its passage could influence how large cloud providers and platform ecosystems operate, potentially leveling the playing field for smaller software vendors or imposing new data interoperability requirements.
NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0, 2023)
Published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this framework provides voluntary guidance to manage risks associated with AI systems, focusing on trustworthy and responsible AI development and deployment.
Software companies integrating AI into their platforms, like One Simplicity, will need to consider and potentially adopt aspects of this framework to ensure their AI features are fair, transparent, and secure, building trust with SMB clients.
State Privacy Laws (e.g., CPRA 2023, VCDPA 2023, CPA 2023)
Several US states (California, Virginia, Colorado, etc.) have enacted comprehensive data privacy laws that grant consumers rights over their personal data and impose obligations on businesses regarding data collection, use, and sharing.
One Simplicity, handling customer data across various business functions (CRM, marketing), must ensure its platform and its clients' use of the platform comply with these evolving state-specific data privacy regulations, particularly regarding data handling, consent, and user rights.
