The Problem

Today, an AI system, in one jurisdiction, can create digital bots at speeds of thousands or more per second, which in the next second can be operating in all other jurisdictions. Depending on risk, each of these entities might require:

  • Legal identity registration
  • Legal identity "hive" relationships with the AI system and it's fellow entities

But it's more complicated than this. How will:

  • An entity's termination be deduced and it's entry in the legal identity registration system terminated?
  • What if the entity's code is merged with another entity? How will this be deduced and the entity's legal identity status changed?

IT'S NOT A HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE

As AI systems and digital bots rapidly emerge, today on the planet, there's no legal identity framework for these entities. Worse, electrons instantly fly across borders rendering our old jurisdictional legal identity governance frameworks dead in the dust.

People, businesses and governments need the ability to spell out these entities in contracts. Further, they require the ability to know which entity they're interacting with. It affects all aspects of our lives including privacy. laws and governance. Thus, it requires a solution framework ASAP.

Technical Challenges - Writing to the Entity’s Source Code

  • Speed at which digital entities can be created - Thousands to millions per second, which in the next instance can be operating in all other jurisdictions around the planet
  • Writing to the underlying source code - Requires the ability of the CRVS system to write to the underlying source code of the entity at whopper speeds, which is then rapidly compiled
  • Security - The unique identifiers written to the source code MUST NOT BE EASILY OBTAINABLE BY THE EVIL INC.’S OF THE PLANET
  • Ability to rapidly query the entity for legal identity and credentials - Requires standards including DNS, endpoint, etc. which the entity is forced to use

Business Process & Legal Challenges - Keeping Track of Entities

  • How will a new legal identity framework be able to know that Bot12345 has been terminated or merged into another bot's source code?
  • What business processes are required to keep track of this?

Exceedingly Short Life Spans

A digital bot might be in existence for seconds, minutes, hours or days. The same might apply in the future to small physical nanobots (skim “Nanobots, Microbots, Manufacturing, Risk, Legal Identity & Contracts” to see what's coming at us). Thus, it begs the question of the technical, business and legal processes required to keep track of short lived, registered legal entities.

It Also Applies to Humans i.e. AI Agents!

Skim these articles to see what's coming:

Many of these digital identities require registration against our legal physical identity. What happens when we die to our AI agents? Skim  “Death & Digital Identity” to learn more.

Addressing This Requires the Brightest Brains On the Planet

I've created the solution framework addressing this (skim “Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity & Learning Vision”). I've also allocated in the budgets a guesstimate price tag for addressing the issues raised in this article of between $1.3-1.9 billion. It may cost more (skim to page 8 to the section titled "Writing Legal Identity to AI Systems/Bots Source Code" in "Guesstimate Cost Notes: Rethinking Legal Identity & Learning"). Note: If a country already has access to the latest supercomputers, tech and expertise, the cost guesstimates will plummet.

Here's my main point:

For the last four years, I’ve been wanting to work with the best and brightest programmers, legal, business processes, security, and governance folks on the planet on this. IT REQUIRES PEOPLE A LOT SMARTER THAN I TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL SOLUTION FRAMEWORK ADDRESSING CREATION AND ENDINGS FOR AI SYSTEMS AND BOTS.

Summary

We're entering a major paradigm shift where our old ways won't work well anymore. Thus, it requires out of the box thinking for our out of the box times. That's what the architecture delivers.

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.

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
