Re: Seeking some info

For the historical record, Ray Ozzie and Bill Gates, once upon a time, had filed a patent application (now abandoned) for intelligent agents:

Will do. One prediction should be the depreciation of centralized services (e.g. cloud services) ...your timeline may need to be lengthened. 😉🙂 Thank you the article.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for you suggestion for adding new row for "agents". FYI, I was the guest editor of an issue of the Communications of the ACM about the use of personal agents in eCommerce (see: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/295685.295708 ) over 20 years ago. And I'm a believer, but I'm sad to predict that it's still too soon to see any traction in this arena. Just giving something a bigger number isn't as useful as indicating promising use cases that are possible to achieve with new technology.

Anyway, if you'd like to add a row, just send me your predictions for 2025, 2030, 2040 and beyond, and I'll create a row for you and provide creative attribution.

Web 7.0 is a unified software and hardware ecosystem for designing and building Metaversi as resilient, trusted, decentralized systems using decentralized identifiers, DIDComm agents, and verifiable credentials.

Net: I think this leads to the addition of a new row entitled “Trusted Personal Agents: Connecting Individuals to Each Other via their Trusted Personal Agents”.

Hi everyone,

Two things –

1) First, is there a federated tracking system that reports how many DIDs and VCs have been issued? Or predictions for how many will be issued in the future? This is for a book I'm writing, which includes a section on decentralized identity.

2) Second, I wanted to invite you to participate in the creation of a map of the technological future. A proper analysis would require a four quadrant scenario planning analysis, whereas this is more for mainstream consumption. If you'd like to comment or add to my company's map, you can do so here:

Note: if your contribution is "substantive", please include your name, contact and affiliation in the comment for attribution. If your coment is specifically about the future of DIDs/VCs, feel free to respond to the list... but if you just want to BS about the future in general - which would be off topic - please reply to me personally, rather than to the list.

Thanks everyone!

Moses
