Secure Deployment of Personal AI Agents: The Intersection of AI and Digital Wallets

The secure way to deploy your personal AI agent: By Bo Harald

In Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity is nearer, many have read (all should) about the accelerating returns are becoming steeply exponential when each advance in computing makes it cheaper and easier to design the next stage of there own evolution. Many have also read Yuval Noah Harari's Nexus and may have - I have noticed - become quite worried about a development where connectionist AI is allowed to solve problems without understanding them and being unable to explain to humans their reasoning. I keep including snippets from books and observations about the icehockeystick AI progress you now can witness in my LinkedIn comments. It appears clear that both generic and task specific personal and organisation AI agents will be rolled out soon. Given the tasks to protect your and your organisations data and to find and get the MyData and open data collections you need for business or life events - to your own wallet. And then to list for example the top 3 service providers whose wallets you can choose to pass the credentials safely on to. Why do I connect AI agents to the widely shared EU Trust infrastructure's ID-wallet mission? The mission to get credentials widely sent and received and thus motivate organisations and citizens to quickly take a suitable wallet into use from the 70+ listed by the Open Wallet Foundation (Google and Microsoft have also joined). First of all because there may be a fear-driven risk for overegulation in EU. EUDI-interoperable wallets will make deployment of AI agents more secure. Use of verified data and permissioned data that AI agents will easily learn to use when availble will make AI ethical and more productive - and should reduce the need for too much regulation. Secondly because there is a risk that all the attention rushes to AI and the lower rungs (verified and permissioned data to wallets) in the data-driven-economy ladder will be delayed. The fact that wallets make data and thus agents better and agents make wallet applications better should not be forgotten. Thirdly because its appear obvious that your AI agents can be a generic solution finding and grouping data held inside organisations and keep it there. Then add open data and more data delivered from customer and supplier wallets (for example product passport credentials) and thus lift efficiency, innovations and customer services to new levels. Credentials your EUDI-interoperable wallet collects will make sure that the issuers and verifying service providers are the ones they claim to be - both to you and to your AI agent. Forhtly it should be clear that the business case for society at large with EUDI-interoperable wallets will be massive on its own and and get accelerating returns when combined with AI agents. To get the fundamental security aspects in place it is necessary to know the identity and qualifications of suppliers of both "wheels" via organisation wallets. With cyber crime costing US$ 6 trillion a year and even state sponsored Denial of Service attacks it may be necessary to also have identity wallets installed in servers and other critically important equipment. Needless to say that banks should be at table - not on the menu. Which sector could be more important now? Governments should see this and encourage fast adoption of wallets, usage and delivery of verified data and service enhancing AI agents especially here.
