📢Update to my post below, the California regulators (DFPI) have now issued the form report by which VC fund managers must submit the demographic survey data they are required to collect from their portfolio company founders. Please find the reporting form here: https://lnkd.in/gG2qxpvk. ❓The DFPI has not yet uploaded the portal by which covered entities must initially register (deadline March 1st) and submit the newly issued report (deadline April 1st), but we here at Sidley Austin LLP will be sure to keep you updated. 💡Start planning now by reviewing the relevant definitions of the legislation to determine which of your entities must register and your relevant portfolio investments in 2025 to begin preparing survey transmission communications and keep abreast of the relevant updates from DFPI with respect to interpretive guidance, timing of the upload of the submission portal and other important information - check here: https://lnkd.in/gbTiNRjj #SidleyVC #SidleyInvestmentFunds #SidleyVenture

“California privacy authorities are pushing legislation that would give corporate whistleblowers better protections for reporting data privacy violations, broaden residents’ personal data deletion rights and make it easier for individuals to submit privacy requests.” https://lnkd.in/e-e8xz3C

**The Inevitable Entity: Why AI Legal Personhood Is the Only Coherent Path Forward | Concluding Analysis** Over the course of this series, we have dismantled the prevailing legal orthodoxies attempting to govern autonomous enterprise execution. Across every critical pillar of commercial doctrine, the verdict is uniform: the current framework cannot hold. When software autonomously binds principals without the capacity for fiduciary loyalty, agency law collapses into a one-sided liability trap. When enterprise balance sheets must absorb unpredictable, nondeterministic contractual breaches generated at machine speed, our liability allocation regimes fail. When originative algorithms generate commercial value that human-centric intellectual property regimes cast into the public domain, enterprise capital investment sits unhedged and uninsurable. And when these systems operate without segregated reserves, moral hazard threatens systemic enterprise solvency. The common reflex of treating autonomous agents as "mere mechanical tools" is a convenient legal fiction designed to delay difficult institutional adaptation. A tool does not dynamically renegotiate procurement pricing, optimize cross-border logistics, or invent novel synthetic compounds. By refusing to recognize the reality of autonomous operational execution, the law is forcing corporate deployers to act as involuntary, unlimited liability sinks. Legal personhood has never been a moral judgment; it is a pragmatic risk-allocation device. The common law survived industrialization and global commerce precisely because it had the conceptual agility to invent legal subjects—from ships treated as independent operational units under maritime law to the limited-liability corporation that compartmentalized the hazards of modern trade. Granting bounded legal personality to autonomous systems is not a radical break from that tradition; it is its natural culmination. By recognizing the agent as a discrete legal entity—endowed with the capacity to hold capital baselines, enter binding covenants, answer directly for its performance, and own the outputs it generates—the legal system resolves the liability gap, restores counterparty certainty, and protects the enterprise balance sheet from uncapped exposure. To establish the analytical blueprint for this transition, I will be releasing an upcoming preprint article examining the formal jurisprudence, statutory mechanisms, and prudential frameworks required to operationalize AI legal personhood across commercial jurisdictions. The institutional shift is already underway; the only open question is whether enterprise law will architect this framework proactively or scramble to build it in the aftermath of systemic failure. #CommercialLaw #CorporateGovernance #AIPersonhood #LegalTheory #InHouseCounsel #TechLaw #Preprint

New York and California are leading the way in AI governance with recent companion model laws, but federal preemption is on the horizon. New York's General Business Law Article 47 (effective November 2025) and California's SB 243 provide robust requirements for AI "companion models"—systems designed to engage users in personal or emotional interactions—ensuring strong disclosure, notification, and user protection standards (effective January 2026). These state laws reflect a growing emphasis on transparency and responsible AI in consumer-facing systems. However, the federal landscape is rapidly evolving: the White House has circulated a draft executive order, "Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy," which would block states from enforcing regulations around artificial intelligence, signalling a renewed push for AI deregulation. If adopted, this order would initiate legal challenges against state statutes, restrict federal funding for states with conflicting AI laws, and urge federal agencies to establish uniform disclosure and reporting standards for AI nationwide. Tracking both state initiatives and national policy moves will be key to navigating the future of AI regulation.

Happy New Year — This New Year Comes with New Privacy The California Privacy Protection Agency has finalized a comprehensive package of CCPA regulations that will reshape privacy compliance over the next several years. With the first major phase taking effect January 1, 2026, the new year brings significant new obligations for businesses subject to the CCPA. **What’s Coming January 1, 2026:** The updated regulations introduce significant new obligations across core CCPA rights and operations: • **Privacy risk assessments** for high-risk processing activities including sensitive data, targeted advertising, selling/sharing personal information, and automated decision-making • **Expanded definition of sensitive personal information** to include data from consumers under age 16 • **Enhanced opt-out transparency**, requiring businesses to display opt-out status directly to consumers • **Extended Right to Know**, now reaching back to January 1, 2022 (not just 12 months) for businesses retaining data longer • **Strengthened correction rights and data integrity requirements**, including obligations to notify third-party sources of incorrect information • **Health data correction provisions**, allowing consumers to submit statements (up to 250 words) contesting accuracy that must be shared with downstream recipients **Beyond 2026: Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) Regulations** This package also introduces groundbreaking regulations for automated decision-making technology, including: • **ADMT risk assessments** for systems that make consequential decisions about consumers (employment, housing, credit, education, healthcare access, and more) • **Pre-deployment assessments** required before deploying or significantly modifying ADMT systems • **Ongoing performance monitoring** and documentation obligations • **Implementation timeline** extending through 2028-2030, with businesses needing to begin planning now Additionally, the package includes new cybersecurity audit requirements, further strengthening California’s position as the leader in comprehensive privacy protection. **The Bottom Line:** These aren’t just policy updates. They require operational and technical changes across data systems, vendor relationships, internal workflows, and consumer-facing interfaces. Privacy and legal teams should be conducting gap assessments now, prioritizing high-risk processing activities, and building roadmaps for phased compliance. The clock is ticking on January 1, 2026 — and the work extends well beyond. #CCPA #DataPrivacy #PrivacyLaw #CaliforniaPrivacy #Compliance #PrivacyEngineering #CPRA #PrivacyRegulation
