The Future of Privacy Forum hosted its third annual DC Privacy Forum on 10 June 2026, gathering US government officials, academics, civil society, and privacy professionals to discuss AI governance, privacy regulation, youth online safety, and AgeTech. Congressman John Joyce delivered the keynote, highlighting the SECURE Data Act as a vehicle for federal privacy reform. The event was a policy-convening rather than a rulemaking, and produced no binding legislative or regulatory outcomes. Its significance lies as a signal of sustained US legislative attention to AI-privacy intersection rather than any immediate policy change.
