Title
Identity Landscape 2025 - Decoding the Tectonic Shifts in Identity
Abstract
The identity landscape in 2025 stands at a turning point where multiple axes -- "human/non-human", "centralized/decentralized", and "state/corporate/civic" -- are being reconfigured simultaneously. The democratization of generative AI has enabled non-human entities (AI agents, bots, and cloud workloads) to participate as actors in decision-making and transactions. This raises urgent institutional and technical questions: "Who proves whom?", "How is least privilege assigned?", and "How should trust and accountability be designed?".
Meanwhile, the era of digital wallets has entered full swing. The EU is adopting implementation regulations for the EUDI Wallet, while Japan and the U.S. are progressing to deployment with mDL/mDoc and smartphone-based My Number Cards.
Age assurance is undergoing a major shift toward "robust age verification" under the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s DSA guidelines, with ISO/IEC 27566-1 emerging as a global standard anchor.
This talk decodes these 2025 inflection points across the layers of technology, institutions, implementation, and societal impact — and proposes paths forward.
