The next privacy crisis won’t come from humans. Consumers are starting to delegate decisions to AI agents—soon those agents will sign up for services, accept terms, and make purchases on our behalf. But notice, choice, consent, and identity were all built for humans at a keyboard, not for decisions made at machine speed.
In this session, Cassandra Maldini (VP of Privacy and AI Governance Product Strategy at Securiti) unpacks what happens when the "data subject" is no longer the one clicking "I agree", and how privacy programs must evolve to authenticate agent intent and reconsider consent for a world where humans are out of the loop by choice.
Key takeaways:
- The Consent Problem: Can an AI agent legally give consent—and on whose behalf?
- Authenticating Intent: How do we verify an agent is acting within the scope the human authorized?
- Notice at Machine Speed: What happens to "meaningful choice" when decisions take 400 milliseconds?
- Human-in-the-Loop: Where regulators are drawing the line—and where it’s already blurring.
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for understanding and implementing consent, identity, and preference management in this shift from human-led to agent-led interactions.
