BEN Supports California’s AI Data Privacy Bill

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

WILMINGTON, Del., March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brand Engagement Network Inc. (BEN) (NASDAQ: BNAI), an innovator in AI-driven customer engagement solutions, has announced its support for California Assembly Member Carl DeMaio’s proposed AI data privacy legislation. This bill, which aims to secure the privacy of California residents, would require businesses to obtain explicit consent before sharing or storing user data outside the United States.

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, the need for robust data protection has never been more critical. BEN recognizes the importance of securing user data and supports DeMaio’s initiative as a vital step in advancing privacy protections in the AI space.

“Data privacy is a fundamental right, and it is crucial that we hold ourselves accountable in developing AI technologies,” said Paul Chang, CEO of BEN. “Assembly Member DeMaio’s proposed bill establishes an important precedent by setting strong privacy standards that promote trust, transparency, and accountability—values that are essential as AI continues to shape our interactions with technology.”

BEN’s proprietary AI-powered solutions, including its Engagement Language Model (ELM™) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, are designed to meet strict global privacy standards, such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type 1. In contrast to many of its competitors, BEN ensures sensitive user data is not leaked to the public nor stored offshore, providing both on-premises and secure cloud deployments for flexibility and maximum business control.

“The push for stronger AI regulations, especially concerning data privacy, is more urgent than ever,” said Jon Leibowitz, Former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and a member of BEN’s Board of Directors. “As AI continues to evolve, clear and enforceable privacy standards are essential. BEN remains committed to responsible AI practices that prioritize user consent and data security. We urge policymakers to act swiftly to strengthen protections for user data both in California and nationwide.”

The rapid expansion of AI technologies across sectors like healthcare, retail, and finance underscores the need for comprehensive regulations to protect consumer data. California is leading the charge on tech policy, and BEN fully supports this legislative effort. Its solutions remain at the forefront of privacy compliance while providing accurate and useful AI Agents.
