C-LAW-D: Understanding Claude, Sovereign AI & the Law

By All Audiences

Monday, May 4, 2026 1:45pm to 3:30pm EDT

C-LAW-D is a high-signal forum at the intersection of frontier AI, sovereign infrastructure, and legal architecture. Bringing together operators, lawyers, and policymakers, this session examines how models like Claude and emerging regulatory structures are reshaping institutional governance, national competitiveness, and liability in the machine age.

Designed for legal and tech professionals, the convening explores the "Open Claw" movement—a builder-driven wave of autonomous agents—to establish a durable policy node for the legal framework of frontier technology.

Approved for 2.0 CLE credits (including 2.0 Technology and 0.5 Ethics) by the Florida Bar.

Schedule:

  • 1:45 p.m. - Welcome Remarks by FSU, Lab22c, and Holland & Knight
  • 1:55 p.m. - Panel 1: Capital, Infrastructure & Operator Reality
    The Gold Rush Has No Map: How Founders & Investors Are Betting on Sovereign AI Before the Rules Exist
    Founders, operators, and capital voices who are building inside the uncertainty right now put the problem on the table viscerally before the lawyers arrive to frame it (no hypotheticals, no theory).
  • 2:45 p.m. - OpenClaw in the Room
    Purple Horizons takes the full room for a sharp, focused live OpenClaw demo that bridges the operator reality just discussed with the questions about to be raised.
  • 2:55 p.m. - Panel 2: Constitutional Law & Institutional Governance
    Who Controls the Machine? Sovereignty, Federalism & AI's Constitutional Moment
    After the room has felt the operator reality, lawyers frame the constitutional stakes: jurisdictional authority, First Amendment implications of AI-generated speech, liability in autonomous systems, and federal preemption vs. state AI frameworks.
  • 3:25 p.m. - Closing and What’s Next
