Sidley is a proud sponsor of the 13th Annual Momentum Food and Beverage Exchange.
On October 8, Sidley partner Brienne Letourneau will moderate a panel titled “AI in the Aisle: Legal and Regulatory Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Food Retail and Marketing,” also featuring Carolyn Brougham, Senior IP Counsel at Mars, Inc. This session will include key takeaways on how best to:
- Identify where AI may trigger regulatory oversight
- Assess and mitigate compliance risk
- Prepare for evolving enforcement
From smart shelf tags and personalized promotions to AI-generated product recommendations and dynamic pricing models, artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the food retail experience. But with innovation comes uncertainty—and potential exposure. This session will examine the legal, regulatory, and ethical implications of AI use in consumer-facing contexts. Designed for legal compliance and government affairs professionals, the discussion will explore how AI intersects with data privacy, consumer protection, labeling, and bias, and what steps companies must take to maintain compliance while staying competitive.
