The Promise of Digital ID: David Shrier of Distilled Identity and MIT Media Lab

There are some challenges in fintech and regtech that transcend the others -- problems that have to be solved in order to "unstick" numerous other kinds of exciting innovation. Of these core enabling solutions, none is more important than digital identity. A few months ago I sat down with one of the people leading the work in this field. David Shrier is founder and CEO of Distilled Identity, an AI biometric software company that helps financial institutions and governments build better identity profiles. David is also affiliated with Oxford University and the MIT Media Lab.
