Today, we’re excited to release our technical report “Deep Trust: Verifiable Identity and Reputation for AI Agents”

Just as Bitcoin solved the crisis of trust in finance, Deep Trust solves the crisis of trust in AI.

This release also kicks off Phase 1 of our vision: The Human and AI Internet

We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with @PrivadoID to empower developers with on-chain, verifiable credentials to deploy AI Agents with assured safety, fairness, and transparency across the @ASI_Alliance ecosystem. Learn more: https://t.co/XgfLXo2mo8

Congratulations to the @PrivadoID team 🔥

Launching the first global human and AI network, built with mobile-first, privacy-preserving tech.

@rickmanelius @PrivadoID @ContentAuth Thank you @rickmanelius. The "adoption before adoption" is really a catch22 situation that IMO must be broken by regulators, and it seems we are on track https://t.co/82cro9QUAv

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@dcbuilder How do you plan to combine passport-based proofs of uniqueness with the World ID proofs? Do you plan to drop the orbs and start from zero?

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@NanakNihal This is to real privacy-preserving projects the same as meme-coins are to crypto. It erodes the trust of users, businesses and institutions in the viability of decentralized alternatives to identity.

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@fkpxls I think that there will be a need for this reputation, but agents are not a reliable source to measure themselves. Projects like https://t.co/kkTachNfzv are creating the frameworks, but in the end, there are humans and reputable organizations doing the auditing

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@austingriffith This is a native feature of @PrivadoID. You can generate proofs to satisfy any query and send it to our verifier smart contract, right now operating on 5 chains (and expanding)

@frzshk @ai @adityaag Agents authenticate with something they control - self-resolvable, key based DIDs are a good solution (using something like MPC+TEE for key management)

Reputation can be expressed as on-chain attestations (permisionless for agents, privacy-preserving for humans).

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@gakonst All the responses talk about MPC and TEE but I wander why does intent need to be translated on servers? Why can't intent be translated locally and send atomic operations on-chain?

[Privado ID (formerly Polygon ID) @PrivadoID]

Are there ethical implications when using biometric data?

Yes, people might think they’re just providing a harmless piece of data

But they don’t realize they’re giving away something that could be used to identify them for the rest of their lives…

[Privado ID (formerly Polygon ID) @PrivadoID]

The @EthCC conference marked an inflection point in our journey…

The market is signaling that it's the moment of trusted identity, with growing global demand for KYC, proof of humanity, zk tech & more

Thank you to everyone who joined our side event! Here's our aftermovie 😎👇

Securing the AI Future: The Role of Decentralized Identities

Super excited to co-author this article with @Reggia91, a giga brain in identity and a tech evangelist.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries by automating tasks, offering insights, and boosting productivity. However, the rise of AI brings concerns about the content authenticity, #deepfake and security of digital information. Decentralized Identities (DIDs) offer a solution by providing a reliable and user-centric identity system for both humans and machines.

Innovation around open source AI systems like the community-built open AGI efforts by @sentient_agi or Initial Model Offering (IMO) by @OraProtocol, can also be made more effective with digital identities to track contributions and provide incentive.

Sharing summary of the five key identity use cases in the AI system (full article here: https://t.co/0YeXg0oXXL)

1. Id for personal AI agents

DIDs can create a decentralized verification system, enhancing trust in data generated by AI models. Personal intelligence (@pi) agents can authenticate themselves, operate autonomously, and maintain accountability. In business contexts, like financial services, DIDs can manage multiple AI agents, ensuring traceability and accountability.

2. Agent reputation and governance

AI agents can streamline governance operations, e.g. in DAOs, with DIDs empowering token holders and ensuring transparent decision-making. Market validation is done with @daobase_ai success. Verification systems can prevent Sybil attacks and distribute governance incentives to trustworthy stakeholders.

3. Content Authentication to prevent deepfake

Integrating DIDs provides a reliable verification mechanism for AI-generated content, maintaining authenticity and preventing fraud. Systems like Context Based Unique Identifiers explained by @PolygonSSI at #ethcc2024 reduce risks by providing different aliases for service providers, crucial for media platforms to filter out manipulated content.

Content creators can link their work to verifiable identities and secure the chain of trust and fight deep fakes, well explained in Privado blog. Verified and user reputation can also help opitimise Reinforcement learning from human feedback (#RLHF) loops and filter out low-quality or toxic feedback in the AI networks.

4. Marketplace for New Content Creation by verified users

@EpochAIResearch says AI systems are running out of high-quality data for training by 2026, emphasised by @mustafasuleyman. New user-generated content (UGC), access to proprietary content enabled by players like @Verida_io and initiative like data dao e.g. @withvana will become hot licensing and acquisition targets for further development of AI systems.

Verifying user capabilities and the authenticity of generated content can ensure high-quality data for AI models.

5. Seamless experience with AI wearable devices

Consumer AI devices such as @Humane , https://t.co/eudCI9ivlP will require portable user identities and private data. Contract relayers associated with DIDs can authenticate and execute services across these devices.

Conclusion

As digital interactions grow, the need for effective digital identities becomes critical. Integrating DIDs into AI systems is essential for creating a secure, transparent, and trustworthy digital ecosystem. Blockchain should also be leverage as trust infrastructure

@SCBuergel @0xHolonym @AndyGuzmanEth @PrivadoID @Rarimo_protocol @zkme_ @proofofpassport @zkPassport @zkPass @AnonAadhaar @Quark_ID @gnosispay Not two factor data encryption, just an encryption with keys that are in custody of the verifiers, not the issuers. Hacking hundreds of companies is harder than hacking just one.

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@SCBuergel @0xHolonym @AndyGuzmanEth @PrivadoID @Rarimo_protocol @zkme_ @proofofpassport @zkPassport @zkPass @AnonAadhaar @Quark_ID @gnosispay In that scenario, the hacker would have to compromise both the storage and the verifier keys, for each verifier.

[Sebastian Rodriguez @keepitprivado]

@SCBuergel @0xHolonym @AndyGuzmanEth @PrivadoID @Rarimo_protocol @zkme_ @proofofpassport @zkPassport @zkPass @AnonAadhaar @Quark_ID @gnosispay The data must be available for a regulator to check it in case of an investigation, the ZK only reduces the data shared with the verifier. To avoid leaks, the best thing would be to store it encrypted with the verifier keys (not the issuer) - I though that was the IDOS approach
