And SSI is the very fundament for more productive, less energy wasting and by far more ethical AI - as ChatGPT also observed in my earlier post. For some reason not possible to copy-past link here - or pictures nowadays..

Time for Micro-Credentials

Thank you. We are now moving to the SSI-based Trust Infrastructure were all My- also much Big data can be obtained for life events (building digital twins at home and at work) with the help of general purpose wallet applications at the issuer, at the holder and at the verifier

Very insightful and informative post. This is very much required now. The strange part is that today many tools are there, which can help you in knowing/ascertaining the credential as well as give total 360 degree view of a website ( Think of DA/PA score etc) or various index, which tells, how strong your social media profile is. But an individual doesn't have 'an identetity' which tells everything about him.
