Open justice was on the agenda, I hope there will be good opportunities for civil society court observers to engage in the NAP review/drafting process going forward / @spotlightcorruption.org @transformjustice.bsky.social @openjusticecop.bsky.social @kevkeith.bsky.social

all ably discussed by Damian Clifford. Will's paper available here: opo.iisj.net/index.php/os... #ilpc2025 #AIregulation

a pleasure to chair a rich set of papers in the afternoon: @edinadd.bsky.social on ‘Postmortem Socio-Digital Indeterminacy’, Katerina Perrou on AI use by Tax Administrations and Will Mbioh on 'Beyond Possessive Agency', reflecting on the blurred boundaries between user agency & platform influence

Now to @gushosein.bsky.social from @privacyinternational.org setting out PI's role in some of the regulatory action already mentioned, and the role of NGOs more generally #airegulation #ilpc2025

fascinating range of material on biometrics governance, including insights on public views reflecting demographic differences, from Nuala Polo, UK Public Policy Lead @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social - hope slides will be available afterwards! A lot to digest.

As might be expected (for those who know his work!), the next speaker, @daviderdos.bsky.social is critical of the 'very limited' hard-end enforcement in the UK, comparing unfavourably with EU national jurisdictions e.g. Italy and Germany

A focus on regulatory enforcement in this keynote panel. Mairead O’Reilly, Director of Legal Service, Regulatory Enforcement Team flags the ICO's data protection enforcement procedural guidance consultation, open till 23 Jan 2026. ico.org.uk/about-the-ic... #Airegulatiom #ilpc2025

@rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social @neilbrown.bsky.social @cyberleagle.bsky.social, Lucy Crompton-Reid @wikimediauk.bsky.social, @ruizmacpherson.com

fascinating panel on implementation of OSA 2023 for small/not-for-profit providers. Qs on definitional ambiguity, burdensome obligations on small provider / potential deterrance of public interest activity

Full speech here www.judiciary.uk/speech-by-mr... and report at Law Society Gazette here: www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/courts-...

He also made clear that important work was undertaken by public observers including but not limited to the traditional media (e.g. citizen observers, academics).

I was pleased to hear Mr Justice Nicklin, chair of the Transparency and Open Justice Board, acknowledge practical difficulties and complexities of open justice in the current digital environment.

Just to update, this is no longer happening. Hopefully @adelewalton.bsky.social will visit us another time in the future.
