Event identities are formed by combining real events, inferred behaviours, and contextual data from sources such as cameras, sensors, and wearables, along with proactive, virtual scenarios powered by AI. They represent a fusion of person, object, and machine identities.
As IoT, AI, and 6G technologies evolve, their combined real and synthetic data flows will give rise to new, semi-autonomous decision-making entities. A key feature of this approach is that identity becomes an activity — distributed across and managed by the temporary identities of:
- the person and their attribute profile,
- the object, machine, or robot delivering the service, and
- the connectivity infrastructure that enables it.
Unlike the past decades of austerity and crisis management, this emerging value layer is rich and abundant — but only if governed with proper and responsible oversight. These temporary identities will be grouped into event identities, enabling the development of new services.
This raises important questions:
- Who assigns these event identities — a new organisation, or an existing one?
- What does it mean to talk about the privacy of an event — rather than the privacy of a person?
- What kind of GDPR would be needed to regulate this?
