Jeff Jockisch: AI-powered phishing attacks in the age of the Delete Act

Jeff Jockisch is an independent data privacy researcher at PrivacyPlan. He is also Chief Privacy Officer and partner at Avantis Privacy. Prior to compiling the largest known database of data brokers, he spent many years working with startups, technology, and data. He studied Organizational Behavior at Cornell and holds a CIPP/US accreditation (IAPP).

Our primary questions today:

Can the (brand new) California "Delete Act" or the GDPR be sufficient to avoid major AI-powered phishing attacks? Is there anything else that we could do as individuals or businesses?
