In 2025, privacy and AI regulation have moved from the sidelines to the center of business risk and strategy. U.S. states are rapidly enacting a patchwork of privacy laws, with new AI laws emerging and expected to increase. Meanwhile, regulators are tightening oversight of automated decision making, children’s data, health metrics, and cross-border data transfers. And litigation over online data collection by companies continues to expand under various statutes, including wiretapping and pen register claims under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), and claims under the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), resulting in diverging court rulings that send mixed signals to companies regarding privacy compliance.
Our 2025 Mid-Year Privacy Report examines the most significant developments shaping the privacy and AI landscape in 2025 and highlights practical steps businesses can take to navigate an increasingly complex, multi-jurisdictional legal landscape.
