Re: NCNP, NASW, AI & StratML

Milton

Agreed - we should not attempt to create a standard definition for AI.
We can promote a standard definition for publishing a Strategy for an AI
System.
We can also leverage a definition for a Data Registry
https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#:~:text=verifiable%20data%20registry,required%20to%20use%20verifiable%20credentials
.
verifiable data registry
<https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#dfn-verifiable-data-registries>A role
a system might perform by mediating the creation and verification
<https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#dfn-verify> of identifiers, keys, and
other relevant data, such as verifiable credential
<https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#dfn-verifiable-credentials> schemas,
revocation registries, issuer public keys, and so on, which might be
required to use verifiable credentials
<https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#dfn-verifiable-credentials>. Some
configurations might require correlatable identifiers for subjects
<https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#dfn-subjects>. Example verifiable
data registries include trusted databases, decentralized databases,
government ID databases, and distributed ledgers. Often there is more than
one type of verifiable data registry utilized in an ecosystem.

It was a pleasure to clarify
