Updated April 21, 2024

Come with me on a journey a few years from now. John Doe, a child, has a digital medical twin and a digital learning twin. He's also created digital identities online for AI/AR/VR games. At school, he also uses AI/AR/VR technology where he has digital identities. Commercial databases have behavioral/biometric data on him from before he was born. Tragically, he dies, and his parents buy a service where they can interact with John digitally using AI/VR.

Who controls John's digital identities and data? Do some of them require legal identities? What happens to John's digital identities and data after he dies? That's what this post examines.

A New World

Here's what possible in today's new world:

Rethinking Human Legal Identity

Skim "Rethinking Human Legal Identity". It lays out the architecture addressing this. At a high-level here's the summary:

  • When you're born, your legal identity information plus your forensic biometrics are written to not only a new age CRVS (Civil Registration Vital Statistics) system, BUT ALSO TO YOUR SOLICT (Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth)
  • SOLICT is a database you control. It contains your legal identity information, credentials (e.g., Covid vaccination, education credentials etc.), as well as all consents given from you for use of your legal identity and credentials from cradle to grave
  • LSSI (Legal Self-Sovereign Identity) devices which are ways in which you prove your legal identity. These include physical legal ID card, digital legal application, biometrically tied wristband containing your legal identity information, and a chip implanted into you containing your legal identity
  • Smart digital identities of you. Depending on risk, you'll be required to legally register smart digital identities like digital twins, virtual selves, et al with the CRVS. These will be registered against your legal physical identity
  • PIAM (Personal Identity Access Management) which is an AI leverage identity assistant. You can preconfigure it to release, with your consent, identity information to others. For each one, the PIAM writes the consent agreement to your SOLICT
  • Rethought notaries - they're able to prove to a high degree of assurance it's really you
  • New, independent, global non-profit - it's job is to set legal identity standards, as well as do 24x7x365 threat analysis against the legal identity framework e.g., governance, business processes, tech and end users

Biometrics Are Not Secrets and Can Be Easily Stolen

Skim “I Hate How We Use Biometrics Today”.

Benefits of a Rethought Legal Identity

First, skim this story to illustrate how the architecture works for a citizen, “An Identity Day in the Life of Jane Doe”. Then skim to page 35 in this doc to see a pic displaying how Jane Doe leverages the new legal toolkit allowing her to manage her son John Doe, and his learning assistant bot "AssitBot" with the school.

Let's Use a Few Use Cases Illustrating This:

John Doe Wants to Use His Home AI/VR Environment

John's parents/legal guardians use their PIAM to control John's PIAM/LSSI allowing for only his anonymous legal identity to be used.

John Doe's Enrolled in School

John's parents first use their PIAM/LSSI to prove their legal identities, and then John's PIAM/LSSI to prove his. They then grant the school the ability to use John's anonymous legal identity, on a time limited basis (i.e. to the end of the school year), to use in any AI/AR/VR environments. Any exceptions to this must be approved each time by his parents.

John Takes His Learning Assistant Bot to School

John takes his learning assistant bot, AssistBot, to school with him (to see an early example of this look at QT Robot). The school integrates AssistBot with their LMS (Learning Management System).

What John and AssistBot can and can't do with their legal identities, is governed by capability files (authorization rights) issued by John's mother, Jane Doe, from her PIAM to John's PIAM and on to AssistBot, all of which impacts the LMS.

John's Parents Leave Him With His Grandparents For a Month

John Doe's parents grant his grandparents the ability to use John Doe's PIAM/LSSI, both physically and digitally, on a limited basis, for a month, while they're away. The grandparents can use this when John wants to play online with some new friends in the neighborhood or, if they take him to the hospital, etc.

John Doe Creates a Virtual Self

Depending on the risk, John Doe might have to register digital selves. For example, he might have a virtual self he uses at school or, when he becomes older, his parents/legal guardians might want to grant him more physical/digital legal freedom, e.g. shopping for himself. Both the school and the merchants want to know it's John Doe's legal virtual self they're interacting with. The parents/legal guardians would then register a virtual self for John, in a new age Civil Registration Vital Statistics (CRVS), which is tied to his SOLICT and hence his LSSI devices.

John Tries to Enter A VR Sex Environment

John has a friend Sally Smith who's of age of consent. Sally logs on using her LSSI and passes the equipment to John. In the future, I can see AI/VR equipment vendors, using behavioral/biometric sensors to detect the equipment has been passed to others. John would then be forced to produce his digital LSSI proving he's of age of consent. Skim “Kids, Sex, Metaverses & Privacy”.

John Tragically Dies

New laws/regulations would be created governing use of John's SOLICT/LSSI devices, both physically and digitally, by executors, government agencies, etc. The new age Civil Registration Vital Statistics system would automatically notify parties who have some kind of commercial relationship with John Doe's legal digital self. The laws would also restrict how Jane Doe's data can be used by others.

To see an in-depth discussion of this, skim this article "Kids, Death & Digital Identities".

It Must Work Globally

John Doe wants to apply for a job online. The employer requires her to prove him legal identity, provide them with proof he's been Covid vaccinated, as well as his education credentials. John easily does this, with his consent, using his LSSI device. The consent agreement between him and the potential employer is automatically stored in John's SOLICT.

Readers can learn more about the actual architecture described above in this paper, "Rethinking Human Legal Identity".

Science Fiction Becomes Reality

As the planet shrinks due to technology, it offers new ways of living, allowing kids to do things that once would have seemed like science fiction. Like what? Consider this vision...

When John Doe's a toddler, his parents take him to a local health clinic. A physical bot does a learning assessment on him, taking in a wide range of data, creating for John his "DLT" (Digital Learning Twin). This in turn creates John's IEP (Individualized Education Plan). The assessment can pick up early on any learning challenges like ADHD or ASD, as well as any special learning abilities she might have.

The health clinic sends home with John a learning assistant bot, "AssistBot". This bot assists John is learning, continually updating his DLT and IEP. It might or might not call in physical human learning specialists to his home to assist him.

When John enters school, her parents give their consent for John's DLT and IEP to be integrated with the school's LMS (Learning Management System). As well, the parents send AssistBot to school with John, which is also integrated into the LMS.

The school now intimately knows John's learning abilities from day one. They're able to create highly tailored learning experiences for her.

John tragically dies. What happens to his data, his digital twins, virtual selves, etc.? To learn more about this skim this article, "Kids, Death & Digital Identities".

My Message To Government & Iindustry Leaders

Architectures Addressing The Above

Kids Require A New Legal Toolkit Able To Protect Them

Add all the above up, and one can easily see we're living in a major time of change. Our old laws and legal identity toolkit now no longer works.

We need a new legal reality of being able to effectively protect children, their digital identities and their data. SOLICT, LSSI, PIAM and a rethought CRVS are key components in achieving this.

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
