We seem to have a wide consensus

Judging from the discussion I follow on LinkedIn we seem to have a wide consensus that: 1. AI-agents will be bring a new - even underhyped - level of productivity and convenience at work and at home 2. To employ, empower and steer them we need verifiable credentials 3.

The new urgency - are banks prepared?

EU has been developing a digital trust infrastructure to support the data-driven economy for many years. Initially focused on enabling digital identification for citizens—especially needed in countries without BankID as infrastructure. The initiative then evolved into something far more transformative. It is now very clear that this infrastructu

Germany taking the organisation wallet-for-AI lead and Denmark speeding up citizen wallets

It is probably self-evident by now that the EU trust infrastructure is going to be the fundament not only for productivity, security, business and life event services, MyData privacy and a real Single Market - but also that ID-wallets and AI-agents together is the obvious next AI-step. The German coalition agreement is driving it: “The agreement...

Why operational leaders are rethinking KYC

Operational leaders face a stark reality: the onboarding experience has become a make-or-break moment not just for clients but also for the bank itself. Despite significant investment in transformation, many banks continue to struggle with outdated, manual Know Your Customer (KYC) processes that are fundamentally unfit for purpose. The result? Dela...

It is better to build from the ground up. Actually the only way...

If you have followed the input from AI-experts on LinkedIN and asked AI itself - you will have noticed that there is already a consensus that identity-building verifiable credentials to and from IDwallets are a precondition for successful AI-agentic employment and empowerment. The most important statement now came from the coalition agreement in G...

It is not a good idea to focus on everything

ID-wallets and AI-agents together. No-brainer by now?

ID-wallets integrating AI-agents - or the other way around?

Both directions are being explored right now, but they lead to slightly different futures. 🧠 1. ID Wallets Integrating AI Agents This means the wallet is the core product, and AI agents are embedded within it to assist the user. 📌 Examples: An AI assistant inside your digital ID wallet helps you decide which credentials to share

ChatGPT beats me - hands down

Certainly improved my "Why AI Agents Should Have Identity Wallets" As AI agents become more integrated into workflows, services, and digital infrastructures, their trustworthiness and interoperability become critical. Identity wallets are the key to ensuring both. AI agents are of limited utility unless they can: Be trusted through veri...
