From alerts to aborts.

Regulation is a double-edged sword. While it helps create structure, establish accountability, and set standards, it also creates unnecessary hurdles, slower response times, and overly rigid systems. With every administration, policy goals and subsequently regulatory stances change, which can have major impacts on business operations.

In this episode of CISO Perspectives, host ⁠Kim Jones⁠ sits down with Ben Yelin, from the University of Maryland Center for Cyber Health and Hazard Strategies, to discuss the current state of regulation. Throughout the conversation, Ben and Kim discuss how the current administration views regulations and the future role of the federal government.

This week’s ⁠⁠⁠⁠Caveat Briefing⁠⁠⁠⁠ covers how Anthropic has agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement with authors and publishers, marking the largest payout in U.S. copyright history after a judge ruled the company illegally downloaded millions of pirated books.

The deal underscores growing legal pressure on AI companies and could push others toward licensing agreements or costly settlements to resolve copyright disputes. Curious about the details?
