How to Turn Law into Code with Tom Barraclough

Tom Barraclough brings a decade’s experience working inside, alongside and across from governments in law, public policy and technology. Tom is a founder and director of a tech policy think tank (the Brainbox Institute, since 2018), as well as a start-up tech company (Syncopate, since 2023), which turns regulatory documents into digital infrastructure for implementation in computers. Tom has led public interest legal research projects, acted as project lead for a global multistakeholder coalition on tech transparency, and has consulted to public and private clients including the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (NZ), the Parliamentary Counsel Office (NZ), an investor coalition representing USD$1.3T, the Global Partnership on AI, and the Global Network Initiative.

We discuss:

· How law is increasingly being implemented in digital systems

· AI-drafted government regulation 

· A practical approach to a data sovereignty framework
