Homo sapiens have dominated the world for tens of thousands of years, thanks to their proficiency in tool learning, community building, and the fortuitous advent of technical breakthroughs. In the 21st century, we find ourselves deeply immersed in a digital world where news, education, work, and even everyday life are conducted through screens and synthesized soundtracks. The next step is to fully digitize our existence by implementing a Digital Identity protocol that can serve a city or extend to multiple countries. This presentation will explore how nations such as Estonia and Singapore have developed their smart identity realms with respect to technology, policy, and privacy concerns. We will examine historical examples to contextualize how this transformation will unfold in the near future, illustrating that, "While we may not be able to prove who we are in person, our digital identity certainly can."
