State AG Regulatory Intelligence Platform: Using AI and Curated Data to Defend Clients and Support Proactive Compliance

Regulatory Oversight Podcast

07.16.26 In this episode of Regulatory Oversight, host Stephen Piepgrass sits down with colleagues Dave Navetta and Dan Waltz to explore how state AG enforcement is accelerating across privacy, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, and to introduce Troutman Pepper Locke's AI-fueled Regulatory Intelligence Platform. The discussion opens with a look at the evolving AG enforcement landscape, examining how state regulators have become more active, coordinated, and consequential for companies operating across the U.S. The group unpacks the inherent limitations of traditional research tools and data sourcing for responding to the fast-moving privacy, security, and AI enforcement environment and for providing proactive, risk-based compliance. The episode then turns to how the firm is responding, detailing a first-of-its-kind Regulatory Intelligence approach that combines deep practitioner experience, large-scale data collection and analysis, and AI tools. The speakers discuss how they have used AI, not as a replacement for attorneys, but as a powerful companion that makes our attorneys better advisors. The episode describes how Regulatory Intelligence advantages our clients by providing more objective and forward-looking insights, and a more efficient and strategic approach to defending regulatory actions. The group discusses how this shift transforms client advice, strengthens negotiating positions, reveals hidden patterns, and empowers in-house counsel to make better-informed decisions around both regulatory enforcement and risk-based compliance. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on where AG enforcement is headed next and what companies should be doing now to get ahead of the wave.
