AI prescribing ID for itself - and for the EU Trust Infrastructure

Thought provoking to say the least. If you have not moved from Googling to asking ChatGPT and even letting it talk on your behalf - now is the time. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bo-harald-4768b51_accountable-ai-activity-7257618910315724800-H0vV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Ladder thinking needed

With less time for any one thing and the tsunami of new things we need to think ladders even more than before. Especially as the next ladder's rails are so strong and the number of rungs to be added are so many. Link this to a ladder picture I came across here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bo-harald-4768b51_good-picture-but-having-been-a-ladderfa...

Start with WHY

Our task - especially in banking - is now to take the ready parts of EU legislation and wallets into use – make the Trust Infrastructure real. WHY? Because we need to make life easier – cut the rising stress levels - for citizens at work and at home, make enterprises more successful, make EU more secure and transparent and cut CO-emissions in a...

So much more electricity needed

It is well known that consumption of energy is growing too fast with today’s digital trends. The growth took off already with music, pictures, PDFs and videos. Then we got the YouTube video production explosion, Bitcoins and AI. An interesting Economist article notes that Americans now spend more time on watching YouTube than any other source of c...

Nagging Harald

Some of my readers have probably wondered how this Harald always manages to go on and on about various digital services. The main reason is that my mission starting in the mid70s at Union Bank of Finland (now Nordea Bank) has been to participate in building digital infrastructures that benefit society-at-large and to promote the actual taking-into-...

Now it is time for the public sectors to start adding new rungs to the ladders..

Are your public sector organisations pushing EUDI-credentials already?

I have a long experience of driving (some say nagging about...) implementing digital standards based competition driving infrastructures. It started in the early 80s with payments in e-banking, followed by all other traditional banking services, then in the 90s with interconnecting customers with e-id- e-signing, e-invoicing and e-salary services....
