Seyfarth to Sponsor and Participate in Marketplace Risk Management's New York Conference

Seyfarth is proud to sponsor and participate in the Marketplace Risk Management Conference, taking place in New York, where leading experts, founders, and industry stakeholders will gather to explore today's most pressing digital risk challenges. The conference brings together professionals from across the marketplace, platform, fintech, trust and safety, compliance, and fraud prevention sectors to share practical insights, emerging trends, and innovative strategies for managing risk in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The program will cover a wide range of topics impacting online platforms and marketplaces, including trust and safety, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, privacy, artificial intelligence, and emerging legal and operational risks. Attendees will gain practical guidance on navigating evolving legal requirements while fostering innovation and growth.

Seyfarth attorneys Pamela Devata, Robert Szyba, and Joseph Vele will present sessions focused on the evolving legal and regulatory risks associated with technology-driven risk mitigation and artificial intelligence. Pamela Devata will present "Hidden Legal Risks for Marketplaces and Platforms When Using Vendor Tools in Risk Mitigation," examining how the use of identity verification tools, artificial intelligence, and background checks is increasingly being challenged by novel legal theories, and providing guidance on mitigating risk for vendors, users, and marketplaces.

Robert Szyba and Joseph Vele will co-present "Beyond the Privacy Notice: AI Transparency Requirements Are Exploding," which will explore emerging transparency obligations under the EU AI Act, GDPR, California privacy laws, and FTC enforcement priorities. The session will provide practical insights for marketplace, platform, and gig economy businesses, addressing AI-generated content and chatbot disclosures, automated decision-making requirements, algorithmic management, and the growing expectation that organizations be able to explain and defend AI-driven decisions. Attendees will leave with strategies for developing a unified transparency framework that addresses AI, privacy, employment, consumer protection, and litigation risk while supporting responsible innovation.
