The windy road to digital identity

Over 1 billion people in the world today cannot prove their identity, and the challenge is not limited to the developing world. In the U.K. alone, 15% of the population do not have a passport or driver’s license. In contrast, Estonia, with a population of 1.3 million, leads the world with its national ID card system, where every citizen has an electronic identity and where all the records are tied together. While COVID-19 has strengthened the case for a digital identity, the road is not without perils. In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Emma Lindley, digital identity expert and Co-Founder of Women in Identity, on the UK Digital Identity Framework, and what it will take to get to true inclusion.One Vision Podcast is a fintech, banking, and AI podcast hosted by Theodora Lau (Founder, Unconventional Ventures; author of Banking on (Artificial) Intelligence).
