What assessors and regulators will ask about

5 headline regulations and standards for AI in retail and CPG

Few of these were written only for AI. All of them apply to it.

Industry · Payments

PCI DSS v4.0.1

All future-dated requirements have been mandatory since March 31, 2025, including targeted risk analyses and payment page script controls.

For AI: Keep cardholder data out of prompts, logs and training sets, and bring AI tools that touch the cardholder data environment into scope.

US · Consumer protection

FTC Act Section 5

The FTC's authority over unfair or deceptive practices, applied to AI in actions such as its facial recognition order against Rite Aid and Operation AI Comply.

For AI: AI claims must be substantiated, and deploying AI that harms consumers without reasonable safeguards can be an unfair practice.

US · Privacy

CCPA / CPRA ADMT Regulations

California's rules on automated decision-making technology, risk assessments and cybersecurity audits, finalized in 2025 with phased compliance dates.

For AI: Pre-use notices, opt-outs and access rights for ADMT in significant decisions, plus risk assessments for profiling and training ADMT.

US · Biometrics

Illinois BIPA

Requires notice and written consent before collecting biometric identifiers, with a private right of action.

For AI: Facial recognition for loss prevention, virtual try-on and voice ID need consent flows, retention schedules and vendor contracts.

EU · AI regulation

EU AI Act

Prohibits manipulative AI and certain biometric uses, and requires disclosure for chatbots and AI-generated content from August 2026.

For AI: Label AI-generated product content, disclose shopping assistants and avoid manipulative personalization.

Use cases

Assistants must disclose AI, give accurate product and return information, and never capture card data in chat.
