AI policy has dominated Washington in 2025, but what does this mean for fashion brands and retailers using AI? Kenya sat down with Meagan Foster, Senior Principal at Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies and former deputy chief of staff for U.S, Senator Peter Welch, to break down the year in tech policy— just days before President Trump signed an executive order on federal preemption of state AI laws.

Meagan’s analysis was right on point—the December 11 White House executive order moved one step closer toward the federal preemption she identified as the defining AI issue of 2025.

Meagan shares her insider perspective on the current power dynamics shaping various parts of AI policy—from chatbots and copyright to children's safety and chips to China.

In this episode, we discuss how every congressional committee is claiming jurisdiction over artificial intelligence; AI's impact on fashion jobs and the future of work; and why children's privacy and online safety could provide a breakthrough for AI legislation.

This episode was recorded on December 2, 2025. Listen for fashion footnotes throughout with key updates on the December 11 AI executive order and the final text of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

This holiday shopping season, counterfeit goods aren't just an IP problem, but they also raise serious consumer protection and health concerns. After Entrupy—the global leader in AI-powered authentication—scanned materials from close to about 1,200 different fakes, over 70% of the fakes tested had hazardous levels of lead and arsenic.

In this episode, Kenya sits down with Entrupy CEO Vidyuth Srinivasan, to discuss how the fashion tech company combines artificial intelligence, microscopic imaging, and human expertise to authenticate luxury goods, sneakers, and apparel at scale. Entrupy works with brands, retailers, resellers, and governments to identify and combat counterfeits worldwide.

In this conversation, we explore how Entrupy's AI authentication technology works and why human expertise remains essential; the shocking health hazards hidden in counterfeit products; why no country is immune from counterfeits and what governments can do; and Entrupy’s partnership with TikTok Shop. Plus, Vidyuth shares strategies on how luxury, apparel and footwear companies can protect their brands against counterfeit operations this holiday season.
