Malicious actors could exploit AI to spread misinformation or disinformation about candidates or issues.

AI could also be used to target voters with misleading or manipulative advertising, designed to exploit their fears or biases. Cyber_Security_Channel

The Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities have also been increasing. According to Statista, the number of IoT devices exceeded 15 billion in 2023. Cyber_Security_Channel

GDPR in the Age of AI Raises a “Data Dilemma” for Enterprises The process of data minimization is similarly restrictive to the AI supply chain, in that it demands that those collecting data only gather the minimum amount of data needed to deliver a service.“ Aligning with emerging regulations like DORA, which focuses on data security and resilience, is also crucial. As AI evolves, fostering a synergy between innovation, data protection practices (like GDPR), and responsible regulations like DORA will be vital for its future,” he added. Cyber_Security_Channel

2024 Expectations From the SEC on AI, Cybersecurity and ESG Organizations will likely remain hesitant to publicize at an early stage whether an incident has a significant impact on current or future revenues and it may take time for them to factor in reputation risk and loss of customer or investor trust into their determinations. It is possible that the SEC will continue to interpret poorly considered or excessively risk-averse communications strategies as misrepresentations, meaning that organizations must have effective strategies in place ahead of an incident. The SEC’s new climate disclosure rule has attracted legal and political challenges,8 given the current politicization of ESG. These challenges will test how much climate information the SEC can require from companies under their existing legal authority. Cyber_Security_Channel

GDPR, EU AI Act Will Overlap as Businesses Face Enforcement DPAs function as independent public authorities that monitor and enforce the EU's data protection law, which governs data privacy and security and grants data rights to individuals. While the GDPR focuses on data, DPAs can pursue investigations tied to technology such as artificial intelligence. The newly adopted EU AI Act provides more comprehensive AI regulation, asking companies to categorize their AI systems into different risk levels and produce impact assessments. The EU AI Act also asks member states to establish governing bodies to oversee the law's implementation. Meanwhile, DPAs have already brought multiple AI-related enforcement actions against companies under the GDPR, and some DPA members are advocating that the DPAs should serve as EU AI Act enforcers as well, given how the GDPR and the EU AI Act could overlap in some ways.
