Why is proof of personhood so hot? Because it sits at the intersection of AI and decentralized identity. The threat of generative AI deep fakes has accelerated the search for a sustainable Internet-scale solution.
In a seminal 2024 paper called Personhood Credentials, researchers proposed using a decentralized architecture based on verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs.
Now the Ayra Association, Customer Commons, Trust Over IP, and DIF are coming together to work on just that: a people-powered privacy-preserving proof of personhood called First Person Credentials.
This session will cover the design goals, trust model, UX, go-to-market strategy, and how to get involved.
