The things with AI is that it has yet to come for the poors…

That’s what makes us humans at least…

In Europe we have the AI act which, as of August, will introduce some form of transparency obligations. Not perfect obviously but a start. Probably will not be followed by the rest of the world though so like GDPR it will be forcibly eroded by other’s interests through lobbying but at least we try.

There’s nothing of the sort in OP’s post. Maybe you have such a use-case? Also it’s literally implemented where I am from and the government isn’t the worse party yet for us.

Private from the service side, not from the trust provider obviously.

It works well enough across Europe with many of such systems being compatible enough for things like petitions at EU level. Not perfect but much faster than the notary system… and way cheaper as well if your notaries are the same as mine.

I’m not advocating blind trust. Nor being too trusty. The specific point here is service access with need of proof of age. The threat I was addressing in this instance is the service provider not the trust provider. Other patterns apply for scenarios in which government is a threat a well. Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

In Belgium we have « it’s me » which is government - backed. Based on configuration you can integrate a service with it and, if the service is respectful and not greedy, you can get a flag indicating majority of a person without the full PII. The user sees on its screen what data will be provided to the service. So it’s rather transparent and honestly not bad from a privacy perspective.

Personally I’m fan of ROA. Now from being involved on providing said right to our beloved customers I have to say that weaponizing gdpr is definitely happening and that’s… not cool. And the weapon isn’t always aimed at said company : something it might be aimed at past love interests or worse I would imagine. Still I believe the benefits outweigh the risks.

No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….

Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

Nice :)
