This article does a brief dive into how the depicted above wave is rapidly affecting our businesses, governments, social life, schools et al. IT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT CHANGE BEYOND WHICH EACH JURISDICTION CAN DO ON ITS OWN.

Examples of What's Coming At Us

Rate of Change

Look at this diagram put together by Pat Scannell. It shows a logarithmic shaped tech change curve which we can now no longer cognitively keep up with i.e., tomorrow is definitely going to be very different than today.

Bureaucracies Traditional Tactics Don't Work Well in Fast Changing Times

Over my lifetime, I've watched large government and corporate bureaucracies deal with change. They typically use what I call the 4D's:

  • Delay
  • Deflect
  • Delegate
  • Deny

Simply waiting things out has been a successful strategy in the past, seeing if the political tide will turn in your favor. 

Bad news - the tech change curve isn't going to bring you any favors. In fact, the pace of pressure will increase.

Those Darn Electrons Instantly Cross All Borders

This means a student in West Vancouver, BC, Canada (where I live), can now interact in an AI/AR/VR classroom environment with teacher Sally Goodteacher, who's physically located on the other side of the planet, assisted by two virtual teaching assistant bots: PattyBot and BotBot, with other students from around the globe. The student can bring to their physical and digital classrooms, their learning assistant bot, "AssistBot" (example QT Robot).

This example shreds all of our jurisdictional laws and regulations regarding legal identity, consent, contracts et al:

  • All the entities in the above example require legal identities (physical and digital), which work anywhere on the planet
  • Credentials for all the participants must work locally and globally
  • The data produced EACH SECOND in these environments is VERY LARGE
  • Thus contracts stating which data can and can't be shared need to be able to be created on the fly between the various participants, their local school districts, et al

The above example can easily be applied to most other industry sectors, social and government interactions.

YIKES!!!!!!

Is how I sum up, in one word, the coming tech wave of change. WE'RE NOT READY FOR IT.

Instead each jurisdiction continues to mostly do their own things, creating laws and regulations for AI, ethics for AI, bots, digital identity, consent, privacy, et al. While this makes sense politically within a jurisdiction, it won't work as the electrons instantly whiz across their borders.

Criminals know this. Thus, they're the first to leverage the tech change curve, exploiting the "oddles" of jurisdictional cracks, literally making tens of billions of dollars annually.

The Times Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan's 1960 song applies today.

  • "You better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone/ For the times they are a-changin'"
  • “Come senators, congressmen please heed the call/ Don't stand in the doorway/ Don't block up the hall/ For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled/ There's a battle outside ragin'/ It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls/ For the times they are a-changin'.”
  • "The order is rapidly fadin'/ And the first one now/ Will later be last/ For the times they are a-changin"

Architectures & Costs Addressing the Above

About Guy Huntington

I'm an identity trailblazing problem solver. My past clients include Boeing, Capital One and the Government of Alberta's Digital Citizen Identity & Authentication project. Many of my past projects were leading edge at the time in the identity/security space. I've spent the last eight years working my way through creating a new legal identity architecture and leveraging this to then rethink learning.

I've also done a lot in education as a volunteer over my lifetime. This included chairing my school district's technology committee in the 90's - which resulted in wiring most of the schools with optic fiber, behind building a technology leveraged school, and past president of Skills Canada BC and Skills Canada.

I do short term consulting for Boards, C-suites and Governments, assisting them in readying themselves for the arrival of AI systems, bots and AI leveraged, smart digital identities of humans.

I've written LOTS about the change coming. Skim the over 100 LinkedIn articles I've written, or my webpage with lots of papers.

Quotes I REALLY LIKE!!!!!!:

  • We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” – Albert Einstein
  • “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” – Robin Sharma
  • “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future” – John F. Kennedy

A 100,000-Foot Level Summary Of Legal Human Identity

  • Each person when they’re born has their legal identity data plus their forensic biometrics (fingerprints, and later when they can keep their eyes open – their iris) entered into a new age CRVS system (Civil Registration Vital Statistics - birth, name/gender change, marriage/divorce and death registry) with data standards
  • The CRVS writes to an external database, per single person, the identity data plus their forensic biometrics called a SOLICT “Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth). The person now controls this
  • As well, the CRVS also writes to the SOLICT legal identity relationships e.g. child/parent, cryptographically linking the SOLICTs. So Jane Doe and her son John will have cryptographic digitally signed links showing their parent/child. The same methodology can be used for power of attorney/person, executor of estate/deceased, etc.
  • The SOLICT in turn then pushes out the information to four different types of LSSI Devices “Legal Self-Sovereign Identity”; physical ID card, digital legal identity app, biometrically tied physical wristband containing identity information or a chip inserted into each person
  • The person is now able, with their consent, to release legal identity information about themselves. This ranges from being able to legally, anonymously prove they’re a human (and not a bot), above or below age of consent, Covid vaccinated, etc. It also means they can, at their discretion, release portions of their identity like gender, first name, legal name, address, etc.
  • NOTE: All consents granted by the person are stored in their SOLICT
  • Consent management for each person will be managed by their PIAM “Personal Identity Access Management) system. This is AI leveraged, allowing the person, at their discretion, to automatically create consent legal agreements on the fly
  • It works both locally and globally, physically and digitally anywhere on the planet
  • AI systems/bots are also registered, where risk requires it, in the new age CRVS system
  • Governance and continual threat assessment, is done by a new, global, independent, non-profit funded by a very small charge per CRVS event to a jurisdiction to a maximum yearly amount.

A 100,000-Foot Level Summary Of The Learning Vision:

  • When the learner is a toddler, with their parents’ consent, they’ll be assessed by a physical bot for their learning abilities. This will include sight, sound, hearing and smell, as well as hand-eye coordination, how they work or don’t work with others, learning abilities, all leveraging biometric and behavioral data
  • All consents given on behalf of the learner or, later in the learner’s life by the learner themselves, are stored in the learner’s SOLICT “Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth”
  • This is fed into a DLT “Digital Learning Twin”, which is created and legally bound to the learner
  • The DLT the produces its first IEP “Individualized Education Plan”, for the learner
  • The parents take home with them a learning assistant bot to assist the learner, each day, in learning. The bot updates the DLT, which in turn continually refines the learner’s IEP
  • All learning data from the learner is stored in their LDV “Learner Data Vault”
  • When the learner’s first day of school comes, the parents prove the learner and their identities and legal relationship with the learner, via their LSSI devices (Legal Self-Sovereign Identity)
  • With their consent, they approve how the learner’s identity information will be used not only within the school, but also in AI/AR/VR learning environments
  • As well, the parents give their consent for the learner’s DLT, IEP and learning assistant bot to be used, via their PIAM (Personal Identity Access Management) and the learner’s PIAM
  • The schools LMS “Learning Management System” instantly takes the legal consent agreements, plus the learner’s identity and learning information, and integrates this with the school’s learning systems
  • From the first day, each learner is delivered a customized learning program, continually updated by both human and AI system/bot learning specialists, as well as sensors, learning assessments, etc.
  • All learner data collected in the school, is stored in the learner’s LDV
  • If the learner enters any AI/AR/VR type learning environment, consent agreements are created instantly on the fly with the learner, school, school districts, learning specialists, etc. 
  • These specify how the learner will be identified, learning data use, storage, deletion, etc.
  • When the learner acquires learning credentials, these are digitally signed by the authoritative learning authority, and written to the learner’s SOLICT.
  • The SOLICT in turn pushes these out to the learner’s LSSI devices
  • The learner is now in control of their learning credentials
  • When the learner graduates, they’ll be able, with their consent, to offer use of their DLT, IEP and LDV to employers, post-secondary, etc. This significantly reduces time and costs to train or help the learner learn
  • The learner continually leverages their DLT/IEP/LDV until their die i.e., it’s a lifelong learning system
  • IT’S TRANSFORMATIONAL OVER TIME, NOT OVERNIGHT

Indeed times are changing and such tech advances need concrete laws to govern the same. Bots interacting with human body is great from medical perspective however consent is crucial. There is a need for standard contracts governing such consent which will draw a line as to the usage and withdrawal of such bots.

True, no one ever saw this Tsunami come worldwide instead of being Localised. It is up to Humanity now to pledge for a cohabitable concern and ACT! Thanks!
