'Regulating Technology: A Legal and Compliance Update' offered online

American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI-CLE) will present the webcast  “Regulating Technology: A Legal and Compliance Update” on Wednesday, August 3, from 2 to 3 p.m.

Technological developments come along at a rapid pace, yet the law, legislation, and regulation are usually slow to catch up. The nation now find itself with a myriad of legislative efforts to address both privacy and security of personal information. Although proposals have been introduced in Congress, no federal laws exist to date. As a result, a number of states have passed sectoral or, increasingly, comprehensive legislation to protect the consumers and residents in its state. Federal and state regulatory agencies have also adopted or proposed standards affecting privacy and security, such as the SEC’s proposed rules on cybersecurity governance. Courts across the country have also been doing their part to fill in the gaps.

In this one hour webcast, speakers will survey the current state of case law and regulatory actions involving privacy, security, and technology (including artificial intelligence and biometrics).  A data privacy expert and two lawyers whose practices are steeped in the legal issues surrounding emerging technologies will consider:

• Federal and state laws and regulations on privacy and security

• Applicable judicial decisions

• Consumer data privacy, personal information, employee monitoring, and other types of protected information

• Compliance considerations for individuals and businesses

• Possible implications for existing and emerging technologies

This webcast is the second in a three-part, non-consecutive series—Understanding Your Data: Technology and Privacy Issues for 21st Century Lawyers—designed to address the intersections of law, technology, and privacy in today’s legal practice, whether for advertising, communication, or in the course of representing a client in both litigation and regulatory proceedings.  The first program, which took place on May 11, discussed the benefits and risks of new forms of technology for law firms and other business settings. It is available to watch on demand at www.ali-cle.org. The final program (in December 2022) will explore the ethical implications of using technology. Attendees do not need to watch all three parts of the series to benefit from any segment as a standalone program.

Questions submitted during the program will be answered live by the faculty. In addition, all registrants will receive a set of downloadable course materials.

Cost for the webcast is $199. To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
