December 27, 2023 update - I strongly suggest readers skim “How Do I Trust Entities??? Different Levels of Identity & Credential Assurance - A Thought Paper”

March 31, 2023 update - I strongly suggest to the reader to skim these more recent articles on examples of AI/bots, decentralized AI, governance and toolkits:


We're in the early days of a bot revolution, both physically and digitally. This article dives into issues of legal identity, consent, data and privacy. Note - It's complicated!

Bots are Here!

The world is quickly becoming awash with many different types of bots. Examples include but aren't limited to:

Physical Bots

Digital Bots

Do Bots Require Identities?

It depends on risk. Where the risk is low, likely any identity given to a physical or digital bot will suffice. Manufacturers of physical bots will likely assign unique identifiers/identities to their bots. This could be referenced in a contract.

Medium to High Risk

Require not only unique identities, but also, depending on risk, unique legal identities. The legal identity of each bot, must work not only in Jurisdiction A but all other jurisdictions around the planet.

Further, with respect to digital bots, they can be created at awesome speeds of thousands, hundreds of thousands or more, EACH SECOND, which in the next second, can be operating in all other jurisdictions around the planet. This is something existing legal identity frameworks aren't built for.

Finally, there's no legal framework today, around the planet, which can easily, instantly differentiate a bot from a human and vice versa. This is a fundamental core of identity.

To see lots of writing I've done on all the above, skim the references at the end of this article.

Problem 1 - There's no legal identity framework for AI systems and bots on the planet, nor is there a commercial version to use instead.

Consent

A "bot" is very different than a "human" in it's hypothetical ability to take in all sorts of different human personal data EACH SECOND (e.g., biometrics, behavioral, neuro data, etc.), as well as other bot data, and then be able to INSTANTLY SHARE THIS with one, hundreds, thousands or more other bots, et al.

It means both humans and AI systems/bots require consent mechanisms, INSTANTLY granting legal consent agreements, which specify the following:

  • Legal identities of the parties involved be they human, bots, companies, et al
  • Data which can be captured, used, archived, deleted, etc.
  • Who the data can be shared with and how the data can be used
  • Termination agreements for the use of the data
  • Different consent levels based on different levels of risk i.e., higher risk requires much more detailed consent agreements

All the above requires, for both humans and AI systems/bots, creation of AI leveraged PIAM's (Personal Identity Access Management) services, which can automatically create legal consent agreements. The consent agreements created by the PIAM will likely be stored in each entity's SOLICT "Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth" databases.

Problem 2 - Today on the planet, there's no identity framework allowing for SOLICT's, PIAM's etc.

Data

The flow of data should be encrypted from within the source entity to the final destinations. Depending on risk, the actual sensitive data should likely be stored in encrypted form. BOTS ALSO REQUIRE THEIR OWN DATA SECURITY.

Problem 3 - The massive proliferation of data from bots, means, depending on risk, our current higgledy-piggledy mess of data standards must become standardized across the planet, deployed, and enforced.

Privacy

Bots too require privacy i.e., it's not just humans we should be focusing on. Bots too can come under attacks from criminals/malicious states, stealing their data, etc. Now consider today's cybercrime prosecution success rate - 5%!

Problem 4 - Until the planet deals with enforcing criminal prosecution, all the privacy laws and regulations created by each jurisdiction won't add up to a hill of beans, especially with respect to bots.

Rate of Change

The rate of change depicted by this curve, means that any bot identity framework MUST be built to withstand attacks created by the curve, EACH NEW HOUR.

Problem 5 - Today on the planet, there's no framework built to rapidly identify attack risks against AI system and bot identities, issue continual threat assessments and enforce rapid response.

YIKES!!!!!

This is how I sum up, in one word, the planetary state of bot identity. IT'S A WHOPPER MESS. It's beyond the scope of any one jurisdiction solving it on its own, a bot association, etc.

Solution - New Legal Identity Framework

I've spend the last several years working my way through all the above for both AI systems/bots and humans. If I've caught your interest, then skim the reference links at the end of this article and call me. Thanks!

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
