Abstract
How do data protection regulations affect firms’ AI innovation in information assurance? Using a difference-in-differences analysis of U.S. AI patent data and text analysis of S&P 500 firms’ disclosed AI strategies, this study examines the impact of the California Consumer Privacy Act on AI innovation. We find that regulation does not suppress overall AI innovation but redirects it toward “assurance AI,” technologies that embed information assurance into system architectures. The regulatory effects display a J-shaped dynamic, an initial decline followed by strong growth; and they exhibit pronounced regional disparities, with high-tech regions leading and low-tech regions lagging, widening the digital divide in data protection capabilities. Firms’ discourse shifts from regulatory compliance to infrastructure investment, and inventive activity concentrates on confidentiality and integrity dimensions closely tied to the CCPA’s requirements. Patent citation analysis shows that firms are increasingly developing assurance AI through original designs rather than building on prior patents, suggesting a shift toward radical innovation. These developments cluster around personal data-processing technologies foundational to generative AI. Overall, the findings illustrate how data protection laws reshape both the direction and scale of innovation, as firms reallocate innovation effort over time and across regions toward information assurance and more responsible AI architectures.
