The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s enforcement focus is increasingly centered on safety—particularly children’s safety. From AI-powered chatbots and medical tools to platform monitoring and youth protections, regulators are scrutinizing how companies design, deploy, and oversee technology, and that scrutiny extends to how organizations collect, monitor, and use incoming data. In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awareness series, partner Kathleen A. McGee explains how companies must take a fresh, proactive approach to safety and data governance.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT
Kathleen A. McGee: The FTC is really very focused on safety, and in particular, children's
safety, but safety generally.
So we're talking chat bots and suicide assist, we're talking about medical assist in AI, we're talking about child safety and monitoring on platforms. All of these things require clients to really take a new, fresh look at how they are monitoring and using data that's incoming and who their users are.
