New laws cover AI, non-consensual sexual imagery, political deepfakes, and copyright protection, among other topics. Joining us today is one of the authors of that report. Scott Brennen is the director of the NYU Center on Technology Policy. Darrell M. West and he will discuss why state lawmaking has accelerated and areas such as AI, non-consensual sexual imagery, political deepfakes, and copyright protection where bills have passed.

The digital world has become a dangerous place. We have seen foreign entities burrow into telecom networks and extract highly confidential information. There have been hacks of vital infrastructure, ransomware attacks, and thefts of sensitive data bases. The Biden Administration sought to deal with emerging threats by defending critical infrastructure, disrupting threat actors, use market forces to improve security, and forging international partnerships. What remains to be seen, though, is how many of these initiatives will be maintained by the new Trump Administration. How the new president handles cybersecurity is an important topic because a CyberNews study recently found 65 percent of American companies scored a D or worse on cybersecurity and only 7 percent earned an A. It is clear that we all need to do a better job on protecting our digital assets. To help us understand these issues, Brookings colleagues Stephanie Pell and Darrell M. West ways to safeguard critical infrastructure, disrupt threat actors, and use market forces to improve security and the manner in which Trump may move on cybersecurity. Hosted on Acast.
