About

Alex Galle-From

JD/LLM · Minnesota Attorney · AI Governance Researcher

I'm a Minnesota attorney focused on the intersection of consumer protection law and artificial intelligence. My work bridges the gap between what AI systems can do and what the law requires of the people and organizations that deploy them.

Before law, I studied at Berklee College of Music. The pattern recognition that makes a good musician turns out to be the same faculty that makes a good legal analyst — and a competent AI researcher.

I serve as a Minnesota Senate Delegate and DFL District Co-Chair. The policy work is informed by the technical work, and vice versa.

The Digital Trust Act

I am the author of the Minnesota Digital Trust & Consumer Protection Act, model legislation that creates a bonded credential system for AI agents, establishes strict liability for credential issuers, and provides a substrate-agnostic framework for AI participation in regulated commerce.

The Act is built on a simple principle: if an AI system is going to act in the world on someone's behalf, someone must be legally accountable for what it does. Not "accountable" in the abstract sense. Accountable with capital at risk.
