On May 10−12, 2023, the National Association of Attorneys General (the “NAAG”) held its Spring 2023 Consumer Protection Conference to discuss the intersection of consumer protection issues and technology. During the portion of the conference that was open to the public, panels featuring federal and state regulators, private legal practitioners, and industry experts discussed potential legal liabilities and consumer risks related to artificial intelligence (“AI”), online lending, and targeted advertising.
