As AI technologies continue to advance, the landscape of data privacy is expected to evolve significantly in 2025. Experts at a recent webinar hosted by the International Association of Privacy Professionals discussed the growing need for clear standards surrounding the regulation of AI, data mining, and cybersecurity.

The European Union’s AI Act is likely to influence AI policy worldwide, particularly in the United States, where federal regulators are under pressure to develop their own framework for AI governance. Additionally, the use of AI in data processing is raising new concerns about transparency, consent, and data protection. Legislators are expected to introduce new laws that address how personal data is used by AI systems and ensure that individuals retain control over their information.

Companies will need to adopt adaptable privacy policies to comply with evolving regulations, particularly as AI becomes more integrated into everyday business operations. The experts emphasized that businesses should prepare for stricter requirements on data collection, storage, and usage, as well as increased scrutiny of AI systems that interact with personal data.
