TIANGAY KEMOKAI LAW, P.C.
ABOUT TK LAW
STRATEGIC LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE ALGORITHMIC ERA
Tiangay Kemokai-Baisley is the founder and managing attorney of Tiangay Kemokai Law, P.C., a strategic legal advocacy firm built for the algorithmic era. Her practice sits at the intersection of power, technology, and justice, and she operates as a Post-Legal Architect: someone who designs the governance, liability, and enforcement frameworks that existing law has not yet caught up to.
Her career spans international human rights tribunals, precedent-setting appellate advocacy on issues of first impression, complex civil litigation, administrative law, and criminal law. She now applies that same skill to emerging regimes: the EU AI Act, California's Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, AB 2013, GDPR Article 17, and the growing body of state and federal law governing automated decision-making.
She advises enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms on runtime governance, algorithmic liability, and forensically defensible compliance. Her practice is now expanding into plaintiff-side litigation against algorithmic harm. She is the architect behind the firm's proprietary frameworks: Regulatory Judo™, DigitalRAS™, The Right to Be Probable™, The Right to Be Certain™, and the Fruit of the Poisonous Merkle Tree™, along with the embedded modules AI KARENx™ and COPERNICUS Canon™.
Beyond the practice, she is the founder of Habeas Mentem Media, the firm's media arm, which translates AI governance into plain language, documents algorithmic harms, and maintains a public record of the cases, the law, and the receipts.
She also provides fractional strategy and runtime governance counsel to enterprises that need senior legal architecture without a full-time hire, and she serves as an adjunct professor of law.
TK Law is not just a firm. It is a redesign of legal advocacy itself, built to design the standard and then litigate the harm.
OUR MISSION
To architect the legal frameworks of the algorithmic era. We advise. We design. We litigate. And we keep the record.
PRACTICE AT THE WEIGHT LEVEL
Governance and litigation for the algorithmic era.
We hold at the weight level.
We govern the runtime. We build the record. We litigate the harm.
For enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms that want to build responsibly, we design governance that holds up when the subpoena arrives, not a checklist designed for the boardroom. For the algorithm-injured, we bring the case and put the firm on the caption.
A binary code fails when nuance is required.
We represent the people it fails.
We counsel enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms on runtime governance and algorithmic liability. We litigate algorithmic injury on behalf of the People. And we build the products and frameworks that make both possible.
Our work sits where a model's decision becomes a legal harm, and where the record either holds or it does not. That is why the practice and the products are the same discipline. One is built for prevention. The other is built for proof. The difference shows up in discovery.
No single discipline can see the whole system. The engineer cannot see the harm. The lawyer cannot see the weights. The clinician cannot see the pipeline. So we work across them, and we bring the receipts.
WHAT WE DO
Tiangay Kemokai Law is your Algorithmic Injury Firm™.
We litigate the harm, govern the system, and build the record.
ALGORITHMIC INJURY LITIGATION
Tiangay Kemokai Law is your Algorithmic Injury Firm™.
We represent the people the system failed.
Applicants screened out by a system no one can audit. Workers scored by tools they were never told about. Borrowers, patients, tenants, and creators harmed by decisions made in the weights and never explained.
A sentry is not a product. It is a configuration. The same engine, mapped to the laws and patterns of a single sector.
Thirteen sentries. One architecture.
We draft briefs in collaboration with other firms, and we do that work well. But on our cases, TK Law is on the caption.
The People are the client, and the record is the case.
This is not a practice area we added.
It is the one we built the firm around.
ALGORITHMIC EMPLOYMENT & LABOR LAW
Hiring algorithms that screen out qualified candidates. Ghost jobs that were never real. Investigations that reduce credibility to a score. Quotas and terminations governed by systems no worker was ever allowed to see.
We audit the algorithms that govern the workplace and litigate the harm they produce. From the first application to the final paycheck.
Sentry portfolio:
-
The WALLACE Initiative™ | Hiring, promotion, compensation
-
The CONSTANCE Code™ | Workplace investigations
-
The LUISA Doctrine™ | PAGA litigation, wage, quota, termination
-
Regulatory Judo™ | Disclosure request engine (launching soon)
RUNTIME GOVERNANCE
Governance that holds up when the subpoena arrives.
Most AI governance is a checklist. It is designed for the boardroom, not the courtroom. It survives the audit. It does not survive discovery.
We built the architecture.
Enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms bring us in when the exposure is architectural, not contractual. The system is not a single tool. It is a supply chain. Four vendors may touch the same model before it makes a decision, and when the harm lands, everyone is holding a gun and no one takes the bullet.
We work at the weight level: what the model encoded, what it suppressed, and what it can be compelled to do at inference time.
The Map defines your coordinates. The Engine translates them across every action. The Ledger computes the proof. That Engine is DigitalRAS™.
We design the runtime controls, the provenance pipeline, and the compliance ledger. The ledger answers discovery's three questions before they are asked. Was a human in the loop before the action executed? Which rule governed the action at that millisecond? Had the model drifted beyond its baseline when the action occurred?
The Engine and the Ledger are the same discipline. The record is what the controls produce, action by action. A governance dashboard tells you the system is compliant. A compliance ledger proves it was compliant at this action, on this date, under this regulatory framework. Only one of them holds up in court.

FRACTIONAL PRACTICE
Senior legal architecture without a full-time hire.
For enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms that need ongoing governance counsel.
We serve as fractional general counsel for algorithmic risk. We build the protocol, monitor the runtime, and produce the record. We are in the room when the vendor presents. We are on the call when the regulator asks.
Regulatory mapping. Vendor and model review. Discovery readiness. Board reporting. Policy architecture that survives a change in leadership.
We also work alongside litigation teams as co-counsel and expert support, when a case turns on what the model did and how the record proves it.
The engagement is continuous, not transactional. The record is cumulative, not retrospective. The Map defines the coordinates. The Engine translates them across every action. The Ledger accumulates the proof. The point is to build the record before anyone compels it.
Digital Identity & Likeness
Your face, your voice, and your name are training data.
AI systems scrape likenesses at scale, generate unauthorized digital replicas, clone voices, and monetize the result without consent or compensation. For athletes, creators, and public figures, the harm is not theoretical. It is already in the weights.
The law is catching up.
California now treats a digital replica as a voice or a likeness under its right of publicity statutes. AB 2602 governs the contracts. AB 1836 and Section 3344.1 govern the deceased. SB 1050 requires advertisers to disclose synthetic performers. At the federal level, the NO FAKES Act would extend those protections nationwide.
Under the EU AI Act's transparency regime, Article 50 requires deployers who generate or manipulate realistic content to disclose it, and providers to apply machine-readable watermarks. We help clients map those obligations before they deploy, not after.
We are already at work.
Your likeness is yours. We make sure the record proves it.
NARRATIVE STRATEGY & IMPACT LITIGATION
We set precedent in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion.
Most firms write the brief and stop there. We architect the narrative ecosystem. Legal strategy, human story, and public perception are built as one case. When the argument is made, it is legally sound, morally compelling, and publicly undeniable. The verdict lands in a world that already understands what was at stake.
This is the architecture of impact litigation. The Map defines the case. The Engine builds the record. The Ledger proves what happened.
WHO WE SERVE
The People.
Applicants screened out by a system no one can audit. Workers scored by tools they were never told about. Borrowers, patients, tenants, and creators harmed by decisions made in the weights and never explained.
We bring the case. On our cases, TK Law is on the caption. The People are the client, and the record is the case.
The Responsible Actors.
Enterprises, boards, insurers, and law firms that want to build responsibly. They know their systems carry risk. They know the regulatory landscape is moving. They want governance that holds up when the subpoena arrives, not a checklist that holds up in a slide deck.
We counsel them on runtime governance and algorithmic liability. We are in the room when the vendor presents. We are on the call when the regulator asks.
Same discipline. Same record. Two different sides of the same courtroom.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Governance is not a document you produce once. It is a condition you maintain continuously.
Traditional compliance measures are insufficient. Protecting an organization requires a layered strategy, built at the weight level, and designed before discovery begins.
Three layers. Three operations. One system.
The Map defines your coordinates.
The Engine translates them across every action.
The Ledger computes the proof.
The Map charts the terrain. It names the six principles of cognitive failure and the seven questions every deployment must answer. AI KARENx™ is the diagnostic archetype it runs on.
The Engine is DigitalRAS™, the Action-Level Compliance Engine. It runs those principles as active controls across five modules and produces the immutable Compliance Ledger.
The Ledger computes the proof. It answers discovery's three questions at the millisecond they are asked. Was a human in the loop before the action executed? Which rule governed the action at that millisecond? Had the model drifted beyond its baseline when the action occurred?
THE ARCHITECTURE
Habeas Mentem Media™
Our media and content division.
We produce analysis, reporting, and education on law, culture, power, and technology. We keep the public record of what these systems are actually doing.
Habeas Mentem Media introduces Nuancé. She gives the tea on AI governance, the cases, and the systems deciding who gets seen, hired, scored, and excluded.
She is not a spokesperson. She is a witness. And she has been watching.
The record does not stay in the courtroom. It goes public. That is the work of this division.
FOLLOW THE RECORD.
OPENING STATEMENT
BEYOND THE PRACTICE: KemokAI™
Data as Land™ | Sovereign Standards Architecture™ for African Trade
Explore KemokAI™
The nation that grows the coffee should own the data that it produces.
Zero tariffs have opened the Chinese market to 53 African nations, covering 100 percent of tariff lines. The remaining barrier is not duties. It is the Paper Wall: enterprise registrations, SPS protocols, labeling requirements, and compliance dossiers that no local ministry currently has a system to produce. And the compliance intelligence now crossing that wall is being extracted by foreign platforms and monetized without consent.
Data as Land™ is the governing framework that answers it. Compliance data is treated as sovereign territory. The audit trail is a deed, not a log. The standards architecture is a boundary, not a service. Source data stays home.
This is a new category. Not trade facilitation. A Sovereign Standards Architecture™.
A UNIQUE HYBRID OF EXPERTISE
We bridge worlds other firms keep separate.
The engineer cannot see the harm. The lawyer cannot see the weights. The clinician cannot see the pipeline. The mediator cannot see the math. No single discipline can see the whole system.
So we work across them. We bring the data scientists, the engineers, the neuroscientists, the mediators, the medical professionals, and the teachers into the same room, on the same record, under the same architecture.
This unique blend allows us to anticipate risks and craft solutions others simply don't see.
