Abstract
Cybersecurity , artificial intelligence (AI) policy, and corporate disclosures play a crucial role in shaping consumer trust and company goodwill. As businesses increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making and digital systems, concerns regarding data privacy, ethics, and security breaches have become more pressing. This research examines recent cybersecurity trends, focusing on data breaches that occurred between 2023 and 2024, and analyzes their impact on consumer perception and corporate responsibility. Additionally, the study explores AI’s growing influence in key areas such as healthcare, hiring practices, and resume screening, investigating whether algorithmic biases contribute to discrimination. The research incorporates a review of existing literature on AI policy, cybersecurity frameworks, and consumer awareness, assessing how these disciplines intersect. By examining legal and state policies, as well as public opinion on AI security and ethics, this study highlights the broader political and ethical implications of emerging technologies. As AI systems increasingly make high-stakes decisions, understanding their transparency, fairness, and regulatory oversight is essential for ensuring equitable outcomes. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the discussion on responsible AI governance and cybersecurity practices, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations in technological advancements. By identifying gaps in current policies and exploring potential regulatory solutions, this study underscores the significance of balancing innovation with consumer protection and corporate accountability.
