The Data Chronicles

Explore the recent updates in U.S. AI laws, focusing on regulations specific to the health and life sciences sector. With the rise of state-level AI legislation, particularly in California, this episode of AI Issue Spotting discusses how these new laws are shaping the regulatory landscape particularly for entities in the health and life sciences sector. Unlike broad, EU-style regulations, these laws are tailored to address sector-specific challenges and use cases, signaling a continued trend of fragmented, patchwork regulations across industries. Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells colleagues Jessica Robinson Hanna and Alyssa Golay to examine the implications of these changes for healthcare, data compliance, and AI in general.

In this special year-end episode of The Data Chronicles, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Eduardo Ustaran, global co-lead of Hogan Lovells' Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, while they take a deep dive into the key developments of 2024 and offer insights into what’s ahead for 2025.   From enhanced regulatory enforcement in the EU to the evolving patchwork of U.S. state privacy laws, they discuss the dynamic challenges shaping the digital landscape. The episode also highlights AI's transformative role, with a focus on privacy implications, governance, and emerging regulations like the EU AI Act. Eduardo shares updates on international data transfer frameworks, while Scott explores the U.S.’s approach to AI innovation and national security concerns surrounding global data flows.   Tune in for one of our favorite episodes of the year, for our analysis and actionable insights on navigating these pivotal changes in data privacy, cybersecurity, and AI governance.

Join us for a short series examining the DOJ’s recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on cross-border data transfers and its potential to reshape global data flows from the US to China and other “countries of concern.”  We’ll explore the NPRM’s implications for national security, compliance programs, data governance and the unique impact it will have on the health and life sciences sectors. The impact on the health and life sciences industry Finally, in Episode 3, Scott continues the discussion with partner Mike Druckman to explore the unique impact of the proposed rule on the health and life sciences sector, including new standards for sensitive data such as genomic information and biospecimens.
