Identity-Bound Non-Person Entities

In my writings on non-person entities (NPEs), I have mentally assumed that NPEs go their own way and do their own thing, separate from people. So while I (John Bredehoft) have one set of permissions, the bot N. P. E. Bredemarket has “his” own set of permissions.

Not necessarily.

Anonybit and SmartUp have challenged my assumption, saying that AI agents could be bound to human identities.

“Anonybit…announced the first-ever live implementation of agentic commerce secured by decentralized biometrics, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of enterprise AI.

“Through a strategic partnership with SmartUp, a no-code platform for deploying enterprise AI agents, Anonybit is powering authenticated, identity-bound agents in real-world order, payment, and supply chain workflows….

“Anonybit’s identity token management system enables agents to operate on behalf of users with precise, auditable authorization across any workflow—online, in-person, or automated.”

So—if you want to—all your bot buddies can be linked to you, and you bear the responsibility for their actions. Are you ready?

Store the Minimum (3/7)

This is the third of seven vendor suggestions I made in my Biometric Update guest post.

“Store only the minimum necessary personal information. If you don’t need to keep certain data, don’t store it. I’m sure our decentralized identity friends will agree with this.”

Take one such company, Anonybit.  Did you ever wonder how Anonybit got its name? Here’s what Anonybit does with biometric data after capture:

“Convert biometric into sharded, anonymized bits (“anonybits”)

“Distribute the “anonybits” throughout the multi-party cloud environment for storage, where they are kept and never retrieved or reassembled, even for matching”
