Amy B. Cyphert is a Professor at St. Mary's University School of Law whose scholarship focuses on the intersection of technology, law, and social responsibility. Her work addresses critical legal questions surrounding social media platforms and algorithmic systems.
Her primary research interests include:
- Social Media Law
- Algorithmic Amplification
- Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
- Tort Law applications to digital platforms
- Artificial Intelligence accountability frameworks
Professor Cyphert's seminal work "A Change Is Gonna Come:" Developing a Liability Framework for Social Media Algorithmic Amplification (2022) examines how traditional legal principles might adapt to address harms caused by AI-driven content recommendation systems. The article explains complex algorithmic systems in accessible terms and analyzes potential liability models that could emerge if Section 230 immunity is modified. This research has gained relevance following congressional testimony by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen about how platform algorithms can amplify harmful content.
Her scholarship has been downloaded 53 times since July 2024, indicating growing academic and practical interest in her analysis of how legal frameworks might evolve to address algorithmic accountability in social media.
