Two board members of the California Privacy Protection Agency sharply questioned whether the agency should regulate automated decision-making tools (ADMT) at a Friday meeting.

To help, the IAB Tech Lab plans to launch a privacy lab this summer and is exploring privacy-compliant technologies that can help reduce advertisers’ revenue shortfalls from “signal loss,” which refers to reduced access to consumer data stemming from tech changes like privacy controls in web browsers.
