During the Freedom Tech track at the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, Matt Corallo, a Bitcoin open-source engineer at Spiral, explores how AI could accelerate and lower the costs for authoritarian repression through surveillance, censorship, and financial control. But he also argues that AI can strengthen freedom tech itself, helping builders create more powerful tools for activists, dissidents, and civil society. As AI agents begin to act, coordinate, and transact on behalf of people, Corallo makes the case that they will need open, digital money like Bitcoin rather than permissioned payment rails controlled by banks or nation states.
