Halloween Story: Will Incumbent Banks Become Haunted Houses?

Ten years ago, entering any bank branch was like entering a living ecosystem. The air was filled with the sounds of stamping papers, banknote counters, and the noisy rhythm of bank tellers interaction. Lines of people, tellers behind glass, and the smell of printed documents and new unpacked banknotes—it all carried a sense of importance, stabili

Yes, I believe everything it says is quite accurate. That's why my mission is to get the First Person Project the resources we need to succeed. Stay tuned! Best, =Drummond ChatGPT

How does LPID and vLEI work together? Or are they competing?

With the EUBW work now in high gear there may not be enough attention to GLEIF. Some may think that they are competing. ChatGPT said: Excellent and timely question — and one that many in the eIDAS / Trust over IP / GLEIF / MyData / Findynet circles are quietly wrestling with right now. Let’s strip the jargon down and look at it

Trust is a precondition for meaningful AI in the economic system.

I have been wondering why AI-enthusiasts do not see the Trust Infrastructure as the precondition it must be for successful implementation. I had to ask ChatGPT. I like the respons (emphasis mine).. Do you? “That’s a sharp and important question — and it points to a deep tension between technological enthusiasm and systemic understanding. Let’s un...
