- IDX: A Devkit for Data Sovereignty
There are a lot different tools that allows us to design apps that enables data sovereignty of our users. These include p2p databases, secure data vaults, certain types of traditional databases. IDX is a devkit which provides an easy way to connect our users to these various data sources. In this demo we’ll have a look at how IDX works in practice.

- How to deploy and visit a serverless website
The Swarm network is paradigm changing in many ways. One of the revolutionary things you can do with the Swarm network is deploying and, consequently serving, serverless websites.
In this short demo, I will show you how easy it is to install and run your own Swarm node, after which you can surf the decentralized web yourself!
Demo lounge #2 on 10 Dec at 18.30 – 19.30pm UTC+0
- Formal description of legal document for trustworthy dataflow
As AI technology and automation advances, the law and enforcement mechanism prove incapable of keeping pace. Traditional concepts like consent maintain a static format in an increasingly complex space and become obsolete. The legal presenter will argue that legal representation and modelling could be the solution for a radical update of the modern legal properties and enforcement mechanism, if put in the appropriate ethical context.
Presenter: Alain Couillault
- Privacy Controls for Data Flow
This session will feature a technology that automates privacy controls to filter data as it moves between systems and/or organizations. At its core, our technology uses schemas and schema overlays to implement executable data exchange agreements, regulatory constraints, and user consent. We will show how this can be used to filter and de-identify medical data (FHIR messages) and other types of personal data.

- An authenticated story of user control
For a healthcare app we will demonstrate joining an identity and permission service through our integration with Auth0, to bring benefits to individuals from new services through authenticated experiences. Data collection is transparent and contextual, linked to the individual and granularly managed. Individuals have control over their data through easy-to-understand interfaces and personalised privacy policies. Building trust in a practical way to encourage the individual to share their precious data for mutual societal benefit.

There is a saying that goes “a picture is worth a thousand words” and a “shared moment is something to be treasured.” In a season unlike any other, send the significant people in your life a picture unlike any other. In a time where photos are easily created, copied and viewed by so many, Numbers API and app preserve the photo integrity and restore the trust of data.

- MyData, AI & Climate Change
There is compelling scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change. Yet, public awareness to the issue is not enough compared to the severity of it. One reason for the lack of sufficient public awareness is the tendency of people to psychologically distance themselves from the affair due to the perception of climate change as a temporally, geographically and socially distant issue as well as the difficulty of imagining the risks and consequences of it.
In this session, I present an AI algorithm (Generative Adversarial Network) that can turn your personal photos of forests into forest fire photos in a realistic manner. In this manner, I aim to create a more personalized view of consequences of climate change and elevate higher levels of emotion and engagement to climate change.
Examples of the algorithm can be examined from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nUrCVaVKEdAIED2Opw-vx0bcvrgn_HYi/view?usp=sharing

- PPP in action: Finnish Tax and Company MyData experiment
Finnish Tax Administration tested how to set up a company electronically for a foreign company and transfer real-time company data reliably between different public and private sector services.
The experiment showed that the digital services of both foreign and domestic companies can be quickly improved when machine-readable, productized company data can be transferred under the authorization of a company representative between different actors.
The Finnish Patent and Registration Office, Sitra, Digital and Population Data Services Agency, Digital Living and Nixu also participated in the implementation of the experiment.
Presenters:
Miika Wires, Finnish Tax Administration
Pirkka Frosti, Digital Living International
Joonatan Henriksson, Nixu Cybersecurity

- NextGen Programmers: 3 guiding principles
The ever accelerating digitization of societies has always come with worrying considerations in privacy and erosion of Rights.
Reactive measures such as total bans on technology won’t solve the problem. Instead, wouldn’t it be more productive to ensure that the tech is standardized in ways that proactively protect people?
In this session, we will explore why Programmers are the next generation of Human and Digital Rights defenders and which principles we propose should guide their careers.
