Lawyer lays out four legal voids: deepfakes, data privacy, agent authority, liability
nptacek · x · 2026-09-15
Lawyer Zy Mazza argues Americans are yearning for legal responses to AI—not regulating development, but answering concrete rights questions:
- What rights do I have over AI deepfakes of my appearance or voice?
- What rights over data shared with models, and does privacy differ between cloud and local models?
- To what extent can I empower an AI agent to represent me?
- Who is liable when an agent causes harm?
He expects this to become a major political issue by the general election.
