  • Summary

  • In this episode we spoke two Mozilla Festival 2022 wranglers from the Digital ID & Privacy space: Cybelle Oliveria a board member of Casa Hacker and community member of Mozilla and Lewis Munyi a passionate software developer who builds developer communities fostering the growth of the African developer ecosystem. The critical problem in cyberspace is knowing with whom one is interacting with we’ve even seen how relevant this issue is with documentaries like the Tinder Swindler.Using static identifiers such as password and email there are no ways to precisely determine the identity of a person in digital space, because this information can be stolen or used by many individuals acting as one. We are also witnessing the collapse of trust in institutions. The old model of trust flowing upwards through hierarchical institutions is increasingly outdated. In the meantime, the rise of new technologies such as smartphones are helping to reorganise the trust flows. And, In a world where 15 percent of the world population, or 1.1 billion people, still lack a valid form of identification, it is critical that we start leveraging digital technologies to provide a solution. Do we need a digital identity? Will this help us protect refugees? And what happens to our identities when we pass? We partnered we have partnered with the Mozilla Foundation, to bring together an incredible podcast series on AI.The annual Mozilla festival is for anyone interested in technology, human rights, and the future of the internet.
