@ChrisMayLA6 History is filled with periods going from one extreme to another, and I wouldn’t be surprised if extreme digitalization leads to a return of human interaction. I would even welcome it.

I have a blog article draft mentioning that the more the tech industry tries to take away humanity from us, the more I appreciate the latter.

It contrasts with years ago when people couldn’t stay far away enough for me.

@ChrisMayLA6 "AI and fraud"

It is likely that more and more original work will be timestamped and digitally signed using trusted certification services- face to face encounters to verify sources is expensive (and unhygienic).

There is a whole industry (that could be deployed) currently looking for "prior art" in patent applications that has been largely undermined by the U.S. "money talks" attitude.

Now - AI "hunter turns game keeper" finds copyright infringement, locates original work and protects intellectual property - it's going to be a lawyer feeding frenzy

@ChrisMayLA6 the last time I had a face to face appointment at the bank they followed the "trust but verify" train of thought:

1. Pre-booked appointment
2. We presented ID (passport, driving licence)
3. They sent a verification prompt to the banking app on our phones

I was quite impressed by that at the time.
