Open source is driving innovation at the intersection of law and technology, enabling the creation of systems that are transparent, secure, and accountable.
This session will examine how open-source frameworks and confidential computing solutions are shaping the future of computational justice and reinforcing digital sovereignty. Key topics include how Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Remote Attestation are enabling verifiable compute, and how cryptographic techniques like Multi-Party Computation and Zero-Knowledge Proofs ensure privacy without sacrificing accountability. We'll also explore how these technologies empower organisations to maintain control over their data, ensuring compliance with data residency and sovereignty requirements. For instance, confidential computing allows data to be processed securely within specific jurisdictions, preventing unauthorised access and aligning with regional regulations.
Using examples from 2024, such as AI-assisted evidence handling and fair algorithmic decision-making, we will illustrate the transformative role of open-source projects in enhancing trust in the legal domain and supporting sovereign data governance. This talk is perfect for developers, legal tech innovators, and open-source advocates seeking to understand how collaborative technologies can advance justice while upholding the principles of digital sovereignty.
