#310 - Personhood Credentials with Eve Maler

In this episode of the Identity at the Center podcast, Jim McDonald is joined by Eve Maler to explore a provocative topic—"Consent is Dead." Eve shares insights from her recent keynote at the European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC) in Berlin, where she unpacked the failures of consent-based systems in protecting user privacy. They discuss why the "I agree" button has lost its meaning, even in regions with strong data protection laws like GDPR, and how users' personal information is monetized through identity resolution technologies.

Eve reveals how identity professionals often overlook the world of identity resolution, which operates without a direct relationship with users. She emphasizes the importance of IAM professionals understanding the deep monetization of personal data and the critical need to improve systems of privacy, consent, and security. They also touch on the role of AI in authorization decisions and the balance between explainability and automation in future IAM systems.
