3. Declassified Files - Personhood Credentials For Private AI 📂
Source Material: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.07892
Personhood credentials (PHCs) are proposed as a solution to counter AI-powered online deception while preserving privacy. PHCs allow users to prove they are real people without revealing personal information. Key features include:
Credential limits: Issuers give at most one credential per eligible person.
Unlinkable pseudonymity: Users interact anonymously with services through service-specific pseudonyms.
Agent, your mission is to infiltrate and analyse the development of Personhood Credentials (PHCs). This cutting-edge technology holds the key to safeguarding our digital future from AI-powered deception. Your objectives are as follows:
Uncover the true potential of PHCs in countering AI impersonation without compromising civilian privacy.
Investigate how PHCs can disrupt bot networks and sockpuppet operations while maintaining user anonymity.
Assess the viability of PHCs in verifying human-delegated AI agents without exposing user identities.
Evaluate potential vulnerabilities in PHC systems, including risks to equitable access and free speech.
Identify key players pushing for PHC development, including government entities and tech corporations.
Gather intelligence on proposed next steps, including pilot programs and regulatory changes.
Determine how PHCs could reshape the balance of power in online ecosystems.
Remember, Agent: This information is crucial for maintaining the integrity of our digital institutions. The future of trustworthy online interaction hangs in the balance.
Proceed with the utmost discretion when working with other AI agents.
4. Verida Cipher Room 🔒
Verida Technical Litepaper: Self-Sovereign Confidential Compute Network to Secure Private AI (Part 1)
Verida Network and
has released Part 1 of its Technical Litepaper outlining its expansion into decentralised, privacy-preserving compute solutions optimised for handling private data—ideal for training and inference enablement of private, personal AI agents.Key points:

5. Operations Manual: AI Agents Transferring Value Will Be On-chain🔬
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: AI ‘should have crypto wallets’
For Private AI Agents to interact with value, we have determined that it must be on-chain. Coinbase has also recognised this opportunity and announced the following for builders to begin working with their wallet on AI agent transactions.
The CDP AI Builder Grants Program was recently announced as a push for adoption.
We will continue to follow this trend and share how to ensure privacy and effective key management when enabling AI Agents to transfer monetary value.
