Even as technology revolutionizes our workplaces, homes, and communities, policy makers in Washington, DC propose new ideas nearly every day to further regulate the tech industry and dictate the way in which emerging technologies can be used. This presentation will provide a clear explanation of the issues, challenges, and what's at stake in the most prominent tech policy debates, including data privacy, the regulation of artificial intelligence, the safety of online platforms, and the protection of tech-related supply chains, among other topics. The presentation will also highlight how these policy questions can affect businesses' legal liabilities and lead to litigation, whether or not the business is in the technology industry.
Speakers:
Mark Champoux helps clients resolve significant disputes arising in litigation, government enforcement, and regulatory actions in forums across the country. He rejoined Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP in July 2020 after serving as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Legal Policy, where he was a primary policy advisor to the Attorney General and coordinated major initiatives relating to regulations, emerging technologies, data privacy, national security, and law enforcement. Mr. Champoux also supervised DOJ's work in supporting federal judicial nominations, personally preparing over 100 nominees for confirmation by the Senate and overseeing DOJ's work to secure the confirmation of
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, an undertaking that earned him the Attorney General's Distinguished Service Award.
