My Learning Journey

Note: Updated April 21, 2024

We're entering a major paradigm shift, where our old ways won't work well. It requires out of the box thinking for our out of the box times. It applies to learning and education. Over the last 8 years, I created an out of the box architecture for learners, starting when they're a toddler to when they're very old. What this article describes is my own personal learning journey i.e., what drove me to create the new architecture.

Note: This isn't a short quick read.

It Began Sixty Years Ago...

Six decades ago, when I was in Grade 1, my teacher called my mom and I into her room after school.? “Guy has a problem,” she told my mom. “He’s spelling his name backwards (i.e., Yug, a nickname I still get called today by some of my friends).? “He’s dyslexic.? I recommend you hire a private teacher to work with him.”

My parents cobbled together the resources, and hired a teacher, who worked with me.? Luckily, I wasn’t badly dyslexic and quickly learnt to scan from left to right.? I was a good student in K-12 and university.? However, this experience, in a way, seared my soul.? I closely watched how my fellow students learnt, or didn’t learn, in the education system.? I saw many of them falling off the conveyor belt of the current education system.

Fat forward to the mid 1970’s.? I became the Vice-President Academic of the University of Alberta’s Student Union.? I went looking for out of the box thinking re?learning.? I found at the U of Waterloo they were pioneering co-op programs.? I could easily see how this was very important.? I then met several times with senior university administrators to try to get them going on this.? I ran into what I’ve now called the 4 D’s of a bureaucracy i.e., delay, deflect, delegate and deny.? They didn’t do anything.

Fast forward to the early 90’s.? Our two kids were in elementary school.? I went to the Superintendent of our school district, Doug Player, and introduced myself.? ?I told him the district should be deploying tech to rethink?learning.? He liked it so much he asked me to chair the district’s new tech committee.? This led to our district being one of the first in Canada to have fiber optics laid to most of its schools.?

Nest, I was behind building a tech leveraged school.? I then became the president of Skills Canada BC, and then Skills Canada, to drive into curriculum industry best practices leveraging skills competitions.

About 8 years ago, I went out for a coffee with the now long since retired Doug Player.? I told him we’d failed.? Why?? We hadn’t moved the dial on the underlying conveyor belt of time the current education system uses.? I told him my story of watching fellow students fall off the?learning?conveyor belt.??

Doug asked me what I was thinking?? I told him it must start with an in-depth assessment of a learner when they’re a toddler.? Determine how they learn or don’t learn, how they work or don’t work with others, aptitudes, etc.? From this I could see, for every learner, a highly customized IEP (Individual Education Plan) being created.? I then went on to say I could sort of see how AI systems, bots and VR environments would be used but I didn’t yet know how it would work.?

I ended by saying it all required a rethought legal identity framework for humans, Ai systems and bots. Why?? Learners would be working both physically and virtually with other students, teachers, and bots.? We left the conversation there.

Fast Forward to a Lucid Dream I had 2-3 Years Ago

In front of me were two of my guides.? It was short, sweet and to the point.? I was very clearly told:

1. First, focus on rethinking?learning
2. Then focus on your consulting

My first thought was literally, “Fuck!? Changing the education system is even harder than changing legal identity!”? It’s the only time in all my dreams, etc., where I’ve been told what to do.??I choose to listen to the dream.

I then intuitively felt I should focus more aggressively on learners who are “on the?learning?fringe” i.e., ADHD and ASD. So I talked to different people, did my research, and within several months, after I’d created the legal identity architecture, the?learning?architecture fell out of my head.

To See the?Learning?Vision

Skim these two docs:

• “Vision:?Learning?Journey?of Two Young Kids in a Remote Village”
• “Sir Ken Robinson - You Nailed It!”

To See the?Learning?Architecture

Skim:

• "Learning?Vision Flyover”

It requires the legal identity architecture which I’ll soon come to.? However…

?

Still Sticking With?Learning?– AI Can Now Literally Read our Minds

3 years ago, I was introduced to Divya Chander , a US anaesthetist, who’s fascinated by how our brain works.? She scared even me, a visionary, when she told me AI could now literally read our minds.? She went on to educate me about a draft bill of neural rights she was working on.? ?I took this and incorporated it into an article I was writing at the time.? Skim to the section titled, “John’s Neural Data” in?“Kids, Digital?Learning?Twins, Neural Biometrics, Their Data, Privacy & Liabilities”/

Fast forward to this past March.? Go to the 19 minute 30 second mark of “The AI Dilemma”.? It shows a woman being shown a pic of a giraffe,? The AI system, which doesn’t know what she’s been shown, displays a pic of a giraffe.??

NOW, THIS MUST BE PUT IN CONTEXT.? To do this today requires expensive equipment and skills.? However, when I saw this, this tech change curve, created by Patrick Scannell , immediately sprang into my mind. It shows a logarithmic rate of tech change we can now no longer cognitively keep up with.? I realized that sooner, rather than later, tech would appear making this cheap and easy to do.??

All I can see is this being used positively and negatively on the citizens of the planet.? I can also see it arriving with all sorts of other “tech” to majorly disrupt the current education system.? I’ll come back to AI reading our minds in section describing the architectures and costs.?

Note: Divya is working with the UN and some countries on her charter.

Now, it’s time to dive into legal identity…

?LEGAL IDENTITY IS VERY COMPLICATED

Principles

Today, people around the planet instantly dive to talking about digital identities, privacy, etc.? What’s first missing from the conversations and discussions is a guiding set of principles.? I strongly suggest you read “Revised Laws of Identity”.? It lays out foundational principles.

Humans and Biometrics

Legal identity requires the ability to prove in a court of law it’s Jane Doe.? With human cloning now on the horizon, it also requires the ability to prove it’s Jane Doe 1 and not Jane Doe 2,3,4, 5 etc.? This requires the use of biometrics.? I suggest you folks skim, “I Hate How We Use Biometrics Today”.??

Humans – Legal Identity Relationships

Life is complicated.? There are many different types of legal identity relationships including but not limited to:

• Parent/child
• Legal guardian/child
• Marriage
• Divorce
• Power of attorney/person?
• Etc.

Today, proving this both locally and globally, physically, and digitally, around the planet is not easy to do.? Thus, I suggest you skim “Legal Identity Relationships”.?

AI Systems and Bots (Both Digital and Physical)

What very few people on the planet have yet realized is, depending on risk, these entities require legal identities. IT’S VERY COMPLICATED.? To see why skim:

• “The Challenge with AI & Bots - Determining Friend From Foe”
• “A Whopper Sized Problem- AI Systems/Bots Beginnings & Endings”
• “Hives, AI, Bots & Humans - Another Whopper Sized Problem”

YIKES! Hopefully, now your eyes are opening to the large challenges associated with this.???

Humans – AI Leveraged, Smart Digital Identities

While people talk about LLM’s, most aren’t thinking of customized AI leveraged, smart digital identities of us.? I strongly advise you to read “AI Leveraged Smart Digital Identities of Us”.

POLITICS

What most people don’t realize when they talk about AI and bots, is legal identity is frequently NOT managed at national levels.? Instead, it’s often managed by laws/regulations at the local state/provincial level.? THEY’RE VERY TERRITORIAL. Thus, years ago, I realized this was a political hill I could easily die upon if I didn’t create an architecture still leaving them in control. RE GOVERNANCE, THIS IS BIG!!!!

Down in the Local Jurisdictional Legal Identity Weeds It’s a Mess

Why?? Skim problems #1 and 2 in?“Legal Identity Problem Statements”.? Bad news - there are no global legal identity data standards, etc.? Good news – the problem is the opportunity to quickly drive into place new one.

Rapid Rate of Change

Look at this tech change curve. It shows a logarithmic rate of tech change we can now no longer cognitively keep up with.? Note the slowest rates of change are business and politics i.e., governments.?

The Evil Inc.’s of the planet will leverage the heck out of this curve creating, each day/week, new attack vectors against not only the tech used in legal identity, but also the governance, business processes and end users (be they human, AI systems or bots).??

I have a follow-on premise.? Most local jurisdictions around the planet DON’T have the resources, budgets, or expertise to continually defend against this.? Thus, the legal identity framework will be successfully attacked, continually.? Years ago, I realized any architecture I created MUST address this.? WITHOUT THIS, THERE WON’T BE TRUST.

Now Add Privacy & Consent to the Above

• Read “The Coming Classroom Revolution – Privacy & Internet of Things In A Classroom”
• To see the privacy and consent requirements as you walk down a street skim “Smart Cities - Contracts, Privacy, Data & Legal Identities”
• To see the world of enterprise security be it a corporation, university, school, government, etc. skim “New Physical/Cybersecurity Security Model”

?Then There’s AI Legal Personhood

While people around the planet debate if, or ever, AI will gain legal personhood – here’s the fact.? It’s already here through legal back doors.? Skim?“Legal Identity Vs.?Legal Personhood”.??Which begs the question of how one can instantly determine if an LLC they’re interacting with is owned by an Ai system?? Skim this old article I wrote where I addressed this,?“Toda and LLC Incorporation”.

I realized criminals will take to this like ducks to water.? You might want to skim this article where I laid out an example of what’s coming our way,?“AI, Mobile Wallets, Crime & Financial Stability”.

Now, educators might be thinking how does this impact education? ?I can easily see, in the not-so-distant future, an LLC owned by an AI system, leverages AI, digital and physical bots. VR environments, etc. to privately teach students.? This is the kind of stuff which would have been science fiction while I was growing up.

People With Disabilities Are Often Screwed

The interfaces to legal identity and credentials are often not suited for people with different disabilities. Thus, they're screwed.

AI and New Attack Vectors

To see what’s coming our collective way skim?“Deep Fakes, Privacy, Protection & Misinformation”. Which begs the question of how citizen Jane Doe can defend herself against this?? Answer – today she lacks the technical and legal toolkits to do so.? I’ll return to this shortly in the architecture section.

Enforcement

Skim “Fighting cybercrime – what happens to the law when the law cannot be enforced?”.? It describes the current pathetic, paltry success rate of prosecuting cybercrime of 0.05%!!!!!!!? Why is this?? The Evil Inc.’s of the planet operates out of jurisdictions where they can’t be successful prosecuted.

Thus, while nations busily create their new Ai laws and regs, the Evil Inc.’s of the planet will merrily be waving their middle fingers at this.? They’ll maliciously leverage AI to rip us off to the tune of tens of billions of dollars ANNUALLY.??

To address this, politicians will have to create cross-country agreements allowing for cross-prosecution.? THIS IS A VERY STEEP HILL TO CLIMB.

AI Power Consumption

While people all around the planet are currently enamored with AI, very, very few people are thinking of power consumption.? Why should you care?? Look at Figure 1 in “AI Power Consumption Exploding” .? It shows, if current AI power consumption trends continue, by 2040-ish, AI will be consuming most of the planet’s power!!!!!!??

Very sadly, this isn’t on most people’s and AI policy maker’s radar screens.? It’s definitely on mine, especially with respect to?learning.? I’ll shortly come back to this in the architecture section.

This is the Messy Can of Worms I Opened 8 Years Ago – New Architecture

It’s very complicated.? Most people I talk to about this become overwhelmed trying to take it all in.? Good news – I have architectural frameworks addressing all the above:

• To see the benefits for a citizen skim this story,?“An Identity Day in the Life of Jane Doe”
• To see the benefits and costs for a government to be the first to fund, design and deploy, read this one pager, “Why Should Your Government Fund The Architectures?”
• To dive to the details, skim “AI/Human Legal Identity/Learning?References” ??

Architecture & Costs:

• Humans: - “Rethinking Human Legal Identity”
• AI Systems/Bots: - “Creating AI Systems/Bots Legal Identity Framework”
• Learning: - "Learning?Vision Flyover”
• To see an in-depth cost centre analysis re?learning?read pages 364-501 in “Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity &?Learning?Vision”
• “Budgetary Costs to Deploy a New Learning Architecture Leveraging a Rethought Legal Identity”

Every Person on the Planet is Given These New Toolkits:

The architecture has been built with co-design front and centre. Thus each person on the planet. regardless of their abilities or disabilities, will be able to understand the following tool-kits they now have:

• SOLICT (Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth)
• LSSI devices (Legal Self-Sovereign Identity)
• PIAM (Personal Identity Access Management) service
• DLT (Digital Learning Twin)
• LDV (Learner Data Vault)
• IEP (Individual Education Plan)

All of which will be consuming power.? Which is why, in the 503 page “Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity &?Learning?Vision”, the "Non-Profit – Power Consumption Of CRVS Data Centres, SOLICT Databases, LSSI Device; PIAM Subcomponent Cost Centre" on page 322-323 budgets for and call out for rapid research to create low power consumption ways of delivering this.? You might want to skim “Decentralized AI – Risks, Legal Identity, Consent & Privacy” to see one possible way to rapidly explore.?

ARCHITECTURE IS BUILT FOR ALL CITIZENS

I wanted to leave no citizen behind. Thus, co-design has been built into almost all of the 294 sub-component cost centres. It ensures all people, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, are able to understand and use their new toolkits. Skim “National Security, Co-Design & People With Disabilities.” Then skim these two cost centre sections within "Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity &?Learning?Vision”:

• "Non-Profit – Legal Identity & Credentials Co-Design Team and Standards Subcomponent Cost Centre" on pages 296-311
• "Learning Non-Profit – Co-Design Subcomponent Cost Centre" on pages 462-476

Two New, Global, Independent, Well-Funded, Non-Profits

The architecture creates two new global, independent, non-profits:

• One to administer legal identity
• The other to administer the new?learning?framework

The legal identity one does 24x7x365 threat analysis against not only the tech used in legal identity, but also the governance, business processes and end users (be they human, AI systems or bots).? It will continuously produce rated threat assessments.? Thus, a very high threat must be responded to by people, companies, and governments around the planet within hours.? This brings current industry best practice to the world of legal identity.??

Both are very well funded. They’ll license out the new CRVS (Civil Registration Vital Statistics) system and?learning?systems to local governments around the planet.? They’ll charge a very low fee per person up to a yearly maximum.? This will result in annual incomes of over $1 billion each.? This is how to ensure they keep abreast of the rapid change, continually updating standards, etc.

One of the benefits for the first country to fund this is the headquarters of both non-profits can be located within their country.??

I Wanted to Leave No Learner Behind on the Planet

I’ve had the privilege over my lifetime of being able to travel overland across parts of the planet. ?I saw many, many poor people.? Which led me to carefully think through the architectures which would work for them as well as for others who have resources.? This is why I wrote the vision article, “Vision:?Learning?Journey?of Two Young Kids in a Remote Village”. It’s also why in the page cost centre doc, ?“Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity &?Learning?Vision”?on pages 441-456, in the section titled, "Rethinking Learning - Making Learning Vision Work in Remote, Poor Areas Subcomponent", it lays out specific cost centres addressing this .

AI Able to Literally Read Our Minds

I created the “Learning?Assessments Governance/Ethics Sub-Component Cost Centre’ on page 414-415 of the? “Cost Centres – Rethinking Legal Identity &?Learning?Vision” ?in the section titled "Learning Assessments Governance/Ethics Subcomponent Cost Centre" it addresses this.??THIS MUST BE ON EDUCATORS AND PRIVACY EXPERTS RADAR SCREENS.

My Message To Education Institutions

A major change is upon your doorstep. It's much more than "AI". Rather than knee-jerk to change, it's much better to prepare for it now. Thus, I strongly advise you and your architects to read these two articles:

• "CISO's - What's Your Security Strategy For AI, Bots, IoT Devices & AI Leveraged Smart Human Digital Identities?"
• “Enterprise Digital Change”

Summary:

You've now waded your way through a very long story. Yes, it's darned complicated. The architectures will be funded. Why? National security. Skim “National Security – Reduce Risk By Instantly Determining Entity Friend From Foe”.

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
