This feels like the first (of probably many) truly meaningful AI-powered solutions I've seen. Importantly, the article highlights something inclusion advocates say all the time: great ideas emerge when you make sure you have a diverse team. #AI #Inclusion #Accessibility #ForAllByAll

#InternationalWomensDay might be tomorrow, but the amazing Women In Identity are ahead of their time (😉), so they are cycling for 24 hours today - pushing their limits to raise funds and increase awareness of ID exclusion and its impact on vital services such as banking and healthcare.

It never ceases to amaze just how much these Women In Identity are willing to go all in and push themselves to the limit for a cause that is both worthy and just. This #InternationalWomensDay2025, the wonderful @emlindley.mastodon.social, Louise Maynard-Atem, and Laura Barrowcliff will be doing a 24-hour Peloton Interactive ride to raise money for Women In Identity's #IDCodeOfConduct project. You've heard me talk about this important initiative that is aimed squarely at providing the tools necessary to fight bias and exclusion in global #identity systems.

It’s sad, but over the last few years, too many orgs that were trying to address the issues facing minorities and inclusion in tech have had to close doors due to lack of funds. This #GivingTuesday, please give to such organizations (like womeninidentity.org) if you can. #ForAllByAll
As I get ready to leave Berlin, I reflect on the wonderful insights I gathered from conversations in the hallways and at dinner, and from on stage talks and panels at #EIC2024. What jumps to the top of my mind is this incredibly deep and meaningful statement Francesca Morpurgo said at the start of our panel on Wednesday reminding us of our responsibility:
"When you are assigning identity, you are exercising power, and you are defining their possibilities."

I leave #EIC hopeful that this incredible, passionate, and hardworking community I call family can tackle the hard task ahead of us.

Thank you to the entire KuppingerCole team for putting on another great conference. Happy for all the new connections I made, and looking forward to collaborating with you in making #DigitalIdentity a power for good. Thanks to the great partners on the panel, and as always, much love to my #Identirati family that was here for making this a special week.

I leave all of you with a line from my talk this week: Digital Identity can be a wonderful tool for inclusion, but it can also be a ruthless weapon for exclusion.

Ok @identiverse. Today at 2:35pm in Joshua 10, come hear me pick the brains of these two brilliant minds as we talk about the ethics imperative for digital identity. Will Michelle Finneran Dennedy, Eve Maler and I address the ultimate question of (digital) life, the universe, and everything? You won’t know unless you’re there.

I finally got around to recording a version of the talk I gave at #Identiverse this year. It was a challenging one to put together, because the subject matter is something I've been struggling to come to grips with in my real world work. Building ethical AND usable #identity systems can be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This truly is a difficult one, and a struggle. The rush towards digital banking is necessitating strong client authentication methods that don't always live up to the need to be inclusive. We all have our work cut out for us. #SCA #Authentication #ForAllByAll https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/12/16/rapid-digitisation-of-banking-causing-issues-for-vulnerable-customers/
