Open Source, Confidential by Design: The Linux Stack for Agentic AI - Panel

Open Source, Confidential by Design: The Linux Stack for Agentic AI - Brittany Kaiser, Alpha Compute; Allen Roush, Thoughtworks; & Shaw Walters, Eliza Labs; & Tina Zhen, Flashbots Agentic AI is rapidly becoming part of critical infrastructure, but today's deployments still rely on trust assumptions that were never designed for autonomous systems handling sensitive data. This session brings together Brittany Kaiser, Allen Roush, and Shaw Walters to discuss how Linux, confidential computing, and open-source agent frameworks can form the foundation for a new generation of verifiable AI systems. The conversation will cover confidential agents, attestation, decentralized coordination, data sovereignty, and why open infrastructure is essential to ensuring that AI remains private, auditable, and user-controlled. Attendees will gain practical and strategic insights into the emerging architecture of confidential agents and the role Linux will play as the operating system of the sovereign AI era.
