Data privacy and cybersecurity in the age of AI: Attorney Jean-Marc Appolon is protecting New Yorkers’ sensitive information
New York attorney Jean-Marc Appolon is working on data privacy and cybersecurity issues as AI reshapes how sensitive personal information is collected and used. The coverage focuses on his efforts to protect New Yorkers from related harms.
Why this matters: Most people do not have a lawyer watching out for their data. When AI systems collect, process, or expose personal information, individuals rarely have a clear path to accountability. Attorneys who focus specifically on this space matter because the gap between what companies can do with your data and what the law actually stops them from doing is still very wide. Who is filling that gap, and on whose behalf, is worth paying attention to.
