This article was originally published on Reuters and Westlaw and is republished here with permission as it originally appeared on July 27, 2026. Newsfeeds are saturated with dramatic headlines about artificial intelligence (AI) — self-driving cars, AI-generated art, hallucinated legal briefs, and predictions of technological dystopia. The constant noise can obscure a more practical reality: Artificial intelligence is, at its core, a tool. However, it does not relieve companies of their longstanding obligations to treat consumers fairly or comply with existing state law.

In this crossover episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast and Regulatory Oversight, Taylor Gess is joined by colleagues Michael Yaghi and Lane Page from Troutman Pepper Locke’s State AG and Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement practice groups to discuss the hottest areas of state regulatory activity in the point-of-sale space. With federal consumer protection enforcement pulling back in certain areas under the current administration, state regulatory agencies are stepping into the spotlight to take an industrywide approach to point-of-sale finance.

On July 15, 2026, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a decision overturning lower court rulings that had shielded “semi-professionals” — including insurance brokers, agents, and producers, among others — from regulation and litigation under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (NJCFA). The Supreme Court’s opinion in Lowe v. Audet will have a significant and immediate impact on the insurance industry in New Jersey. Now, insurance brokers, agents, and producers — and their employers — must ensure they are compliant with the NJCFA, which includes a private right of action and is enforced by the New Jersey AG and the Division of Consumer Affairs.
