IAPP's Jedidiah Bracy interviews the regulators and lawyers writing privacy and AI law.
The Privacy Advisor treats privacy as a working legal and operational discipline, not a consumer-tech talking point. Its interviews move through statutes, regulators, enforcement priorities, and policy shifts with the assumption that the audience already speaks the language.

The Privacy Advisor is a long-running interview series from the IAPP, hosted by Jedidiah Bracy, the organization's editorial director. Each episode is a one-on-one conversation, generally 30 to 45 minutes, built around a specific bill, enforcement action, or policy trend rather than general commentary. Omer Tene, a partner at Goodwin, is a recurring guest who has returned for multiple year-ahead and year-in-review episodes assessing US and global privacy and AI law. Other guests include sitting state legislators such as Connecticut State Senator James Maroney on AI bills, regulators such as Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant on online safety enforcement, and officials such as the International Trade Administration's Bill Guidera on transatlantic data flows. Recurring themes include the growing patchwork of US state privacy laws, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and CBPR certification system, machine unlearning and AI training-data deletion questions, data broker regulation, and children's and teen online safety rules including age verification. The tone is professional and policy-focused, with guests citing specific statutes, agency actions, and figures rather than speaking in generalities. The show functions as a working reference for compliance and legal professionals tracking legislative and regulatory developments as they happen. Listeners benefit from staying current on state-by-state privacy and AI rulemaking, since no single national framework has emerged in the US. Production is straightforward interview audio without narrative framing, music segments, or multi-host banter. Most episodes are tied to a news hook, such as a bill passing, a regulator taking office, or a year turning over.
Made for: Privacy officers, compliance counsel, and policy professionals tracking state and federal privacy and AI legislation as it develops.
What sets it apart: Each episode centers on one named guest directly responsible for the law or enforcement action under discussion — a sitting legislator, regulator, or advising attorney — rather than commentators speaking generally about the field.
