Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Amendment - California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) 2020
The CPRA expanded the CCPA, strengthening consumer data privacy rights in California, including rights to correct inaccurate personal information and limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
It significantly increases compliance requirements for businesses handling Californian consumer data, necessitating robust data governance and privacy by design in software development.
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) - Proposed
This proposed federal privacy law aims to establish a nationwide standard for data privacy, superseding state laws like CCPA/CPRA, and imposing obligations on how companies collect, use, and share personal data.
If passed, it would standardize data privacy compliance across the US, potentially simplifying legal frameworks but requiring significant adjustments to data handling practices for all businesses.
AI Bill of Rights (Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights) 2022
Released by the White House, this blueprint outlines five principles to guide the design, use, and deployment of automated systems, aiming to protect the public in the age of AI.
It provides a framework that will likely influence future regulations, pushing software developers to prioritize safety, transparency, and fairness in AI system design.
