Emerging Technologies
Generative AI
Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs) and image/video generation, will revolutionize content creation, personalization at scale, and customer interaction by enabling dynamic, tailored messaging.
Composability (Modular MarTech)
The shift towards composable marketing technology architectures will allow brands to build highly flexible, 'best-of-breed' tech stacks by combining modular components, enhancing agility and reducing vendor lock-in.
Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs)
PETs like homomorphic encryption and differential privacy will enable data analysis and targeted advertising while preserving individual privacy, addressing increasing regulatory and consumer privacy concerns.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) - Proposed
This proposed federal privacy law (as of 2024) aims to create a comprehensive national standard for data privacy, superseding many state laws, requiring opt-in consent for sensitive data, and providing consumers with new rights over their data.
This would standardize data privacy compliance nationally, potentially simplifying but also tightening data collection and usage rules for marketers across states.
State-Level Privacy Laws (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut) - Ongoing
Various U.S. states (e.g., CCPA/CPRA in California, VCDPA in Virginia, CPA in Colorado) have enacted or are enacting their own comprehensive data privacy laws, granting consumers rights like access, deletion, and opt-out of data sales.
These fragmented state laws increase compliance complexity and necessitate adaptable data handling and marketing practices for businesses operating nationwide.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Data Practices - Ongoing
The FTC actively enforces consumer protection laws related to unfair or deceptive data practices, including misrepresentations about data privacy, security failures, and the misuse of consumer data, with increasing scrutiny on AI applications.
Increased FTC scrutiny requires robust data governance, transparency in AI usage, and strict adherence to stated privacy policies to avoid significant penalties.
