We have discussed human-centric before, the concerns were: * The ecosystem supports IoT, AI, and autonomous entities - all of which are not humans and may not be human-centric (for example, a swarm of robots that attempts to protect local biodiversity of which humans are not the center of the equation). * It could be argued that OpenID Connect and SAML are human-centric. It could be argued that Google+, Facebook, and Twitter are human-centric. It's harder to make that argument about self-sovereign, where an entity has domain over their verifiable claims. * Self sovereign is starting to catch on at places like the United Nations and Future of Identity conferences. The same isn't true for Human-centric. The tide is going in the direction of self-sovereign, so changing direction at this point would have us swimming against the tide. Just some background, as someone that argued for human-centric for a while. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Rebalancing How the Web is Built http://manu.sporny.org/2016/rebalancing/
