Identity in the AI Era: Protecting the Most Vulnerable

Description:

Imagine if your digital identity vanished. No access to money or phone. No credit. No way of claiming you are who you say you are. For millions of people, the cost of data breaches and identity theft is deep and often irrevocable. Victims of domestic abuse, low-income families, older individuals and the family members who care for them, are among the most impacted. But a powerful set of emerging tools and technologies is now available that levels the playing field for underserved communities and helps protect marginalized populations without leaving any digital breadcrumbs behind.

Takeaways

  1. You don’t have to be rich to be protected from digital threats. Unprotected populations in low-income communities stand the most to lose in a breach.
  2. Surveillance of storable data such as passwords used to access digital accounts is a major vulnerability for people living in abusive environments.
  3. How can we help provide the education and resources to rebuild their lives after identity theft.
