There are different ways in which people are going to

engage with Agendic AI, I think that there's going to be, as this becomes more prevalent, you're going to see a need to declare kind of two different thresholds.

One will be just humanness, right?

Bot versus not bot, bot versus human.

And then there's going to be, in certain types of cases, particularly areas related to maybe finance or health, specific humans, right?

I am Renee versus I am human.

On social media, I think you might just want to verify humanness in some capacities.

I think that you are going to start to see, maybe not every platform, but you'll start to see some platforms that might want to differentiate around that, maybe new social media platforms.

There's some like Reddit that have persistent pseudonymity.

where you can tell that an account's been around for a while.

You don't know the person's name, you don't know who they are, but you know that they're not a brand new account because they have kind of like a cred number.

You can kind of see some information.

This already happens.

But there's ways that you can do sort of self-sovereign ID where you reveal...

certain bits of information in privacy protecting ways through certain types of cryptographic proofs that don't provide the information to the end user like the social media network, but that verify the thing.

So as people want to have more age verification capacity in certain areas, you're seeing demand.

I think that as you have more and more agentic agents, as you have more and more sophisticated AI, this question of what does the identity layer of the internet look like becomes more and more important.

Again, as you have more and more sophisticated fraud situations emerging,

um you're starting to see that demand happening so i think the question becomes how do you do it in a way that's privacy protecting that allows people to remain anonymous um or pseudonymous i never can say that word properly um and how do you you know what what does that look like but i do think it's not going to be every platform and not everybody doesn't want to use it some people might say like the trade-off is just not worth it for me and i don't want to do it

But I do think that you'll see something start to emerge in the next couple of years where some platforms are going to want to differentiate.
