Even if the Federal government's largest AI regulator, the FTC, made AI safety a priority, the FTC does not regulate public or nonprofit schools. So while they could penalize a retail chain for improperly using #AI, they couldn't stop 99% of schools if they wanted to. www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

Only Texas, Virginia, California, and Connecticut’s laws do not have an explicit exemption for an affiliate of a GLBA-regulated entity.

The rest are brought in under UDAP claims for “turning a blind eye” to the alleged bad acts. Notably, this suit couldn't be brought in most states, because the entities alleged to have violated the law are affiliates of a GLBA entity thus the law which requires notice and opt-out doesn’t apply.

So how did the Texas AG bring a privacy suit against insurance companies? Well, the claims under TDPSA are only against non-insurance defendants, the complaint notes each are a “data and analytics company” and all are affiliates of the insurance defendant.

As I wrote before, this largely leaves consumers with the least control around their most sensitive financial information. bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Financial institutions are baffled when I explain that the most restrictive rules apply to the least sensitive data they have, while wide carve-outs for GLBA leave few rules for the data consumers most wish to protect. It’s not a patchwork, it’s a mess.

15 states have wider exemptions, not only exempting any GLBA entity from complying with the law, but also exempting the affiliate of a GLBA entity. A CFPB report notes that the GLBA does not include the same rights as the comprehensive laws. www.consumerfinance.gov/data-researc...

Texas, like all other states with comprehensive privacy laws (except CA) exempts entities covered under GLBA (including Insurance Companies) from its purview. California has a slightly narrower exemption, carving out data that would be regulated under the GLBA but not entire entities.
