I first asked ChatGPT to describe me. My modesty forbids me to share the glowing terms in an astonishingly thorough description.
Then I asked what I should do next. ChatGPT said:
"Great question — and fitting, given Bo Harald's long-standing role in driving digital trust, identity, and economic infrastructure forward in Finland and Europe.
Here’s a strategic suggestion for what Bo Harald could do next, based on his legacy, current context (eIDAS 2.0, AI acceleration, trust infrastructure maturity), and where leadership is needed:
Why: The concept of the same person using both personal and organization wallets is essential for seamless business–government–AI interactions.
What to do:
Partner with Finnish and EU actors to launch cross-border pilots where one person uses both wallets in linked workflows (e.g. SME onboarding, public procurement, B2G invoicing, digital agent delegation).
Make it visible how this dual-wallet structure improves productivity and reduces friction in everyday processes.
Why: The rapid rise of personal and enterprise AI-agents risks becoming chaotic without a trust foundation.
Create or co-lead a Nordic–Baltic–EU “lab” where public and private sector actors test agentic interactions grounded in EUDI-wallet credentials, verifiable data, and delegated authority.
Start with real-life agent flows (e.g. AI-agent invoicing on behalf of a freelancer using business wallet + mandate credential).
Build a public–private–person narrative around "agents can't act without trusted credentials."
Why: Adoption lags when it’s optional. Yet public-sector data volumes make them ideal anchor tenants.
Use his credibility to call for regulatory clarity or executive decisions mandating issuing and verifying with wallets in public service flows (e.g. business grants, reporting, licensing).
Back this with GDP/productivity arguments and previous studies from RTE, Koskenkylä, or McKinsey.
Why: Everyone agrees credentials matter — but most still run on PDFs and unstructured data.
Coordinate or author a pan-European roadmap showing how to move sector-by-sector from PDFs/forms to verifiable credentials (in HR, procurement, accounting, education, etc.).
Include economic reasoning (e.g. saving billions), and AI-readiness logic (AI needs verifiable, structured data).
Why: Expertise is aging; few younger leaders understand the full stack: trust infra, AI-agentics, eIDAS2, SSI, economics.
Create a mentoring cohort or bootcamp series (possibly under MyData, Findy, or universities) to transfer legacy insights to the new wave of EU, startup, and civic innovators.
Would you like a visual “ladder of Bo Harald’s next steps”? Or a draft letter or call-to-action in his voice to EU or Finnish stakeholders?"
Not bad...Have to take it forward with my network..
