WebAssembly & Python: Lightweight Sandboxing for the AI Era

AI workloads increasingly require secure, fast, and portable environments for running code, without the overhead of containers or VMs. WebAssembly (Wasm) offers a lightweight sandbox that runs anywhere: on servers, on the edge, and even directly in the browser.

In this talk, we’ll explore how Python and WebAssembly work together to safely execute untrusted or distributed workloads, what makes Wasm’s capability-based security model unique, and why it’s becoming a key building block for modern AI systems. We’ll also look at how Wasmer expands what’s possible for Python developers beyond the web.
