2026 Privacy & AI Regulatory Predictions from Rachel LaBruyere
Rachel LaBruyere, Associate in our Litigation and Privacy & Data Security groups, recently shared her 2026 predictions with LegalTech News, outlining key trends that may shape the regulatory landscape in the coming year.
“Federal AI anti-regulation efforts will face off with the growing number of states seeking to increase AI oversight.”
Rachel anticipates a more complex compliance environment as states advance new AI and privacy measures—particularly those focused on protecting children and minors. She also expects continued momentum following recent activity in Colorado and Texas, along with expanded enforcement initiatives from California, including potential whistleblower protections.
Her perspective provides organizations with a clear view of the policy forces that could influence data governance and risk planning in 2026.
