California's commission has endorsed the establishment of a state-owned artificial intelligence (AI) data center as it prepares for new legislative discussions. This initiative is part of a broader trend in privacy regulation, with Colorado also advancing its Privacy Act regulations. Recent developments include proposed amendments to the Colorado Privacy Act Rules and a significant ruling on the retroactive application of the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) amendments. Additionally, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has proposed a new data broker rule that would significantly expand the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). California's privacy regulator has been particularly active, issuing risk assessments that could have implications for businesses operating within the state.
