WEBINAR: Consumer Protection 2.0 — C&M's First 100 Days Series

Webinar | 01.05.17, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST

The incoming administration promises big changes to federal consumer protection administration and enforcement. Join members of Crowell & Moring's Advertising & Product Risk Management Group as they discuss likely changes on the horizon to the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

What can we expect to see with new commissioners? How will the newly reconstituted agencies manage ongoing legal battles affecting their jurisdiction that carry over from the Obama Administration? Our team will engage in a discussion highlighting our predictions and possible outcomes that will drive consumer protection enforcement and litigation for the next four years. We will highlight where the government is likely to pull back, and where it may stay the course.

Key topics:

  • The FTC’s and FCC’s new majorities and what that portends for privacy and data security enforcement.
  • The uncertain future of Net Neutrality.
  • Will there be a CFPB by 2018 and if so, what will it look like?
  • What will the FTC focus on in 2017 and beyond?
  • The (likely) rise of the state AGs.
  • Into the breach: will private litigation fill the gap?

Christopher Cole, Peter Miller, and Kristin Madigan will be conducting this webinar.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
