Digital Identity An Emergent Legal Concept

A new legal concept of identity. As transactions once based on personal relationships are increasingly automated, it is inevitable that our traditional concept of identity will need to be redefined. This book examines the functions and legal nature of an individual's digital identity in the context of a national identity scheme. The analysis and findings are relevant to the one proposed for the United Kingdom, to other countries which have similar schemes, and to countries like Australia which are likely to establish such a scheme in the near future. Under a national identity scheme, being asked to provide ID will become as commonplace as being asked one's name, and the concept of identity will become embedded in processes essential to the national economic and social order. The analysis reveals the emergence of a new legal concept of identity. This emergent concept and the associated individual rights, including the right to identity, potentially change the legal and commercial landscape. The author examines the implications for individuals, businesses and government against a background of identity crime.

The chapters in this book explore the main domains that represent considerable risks for the respect of privacy, such as education, health, finance or social media. Through its place in the massive data production industry, the Internet of Things participates in the development of artificial intelligence and is increasingly attracting the attention of web giants, governments and especially all types of hackers. Thanks to this book, private and public organizations will have at their disposal a tool that highlights, on the one hand, the major challenges raised by privacy in the context of the Internet of Things and, on the other hand, recommendations for improving good practices. Digital identity is presented as a bulwark for the protection of privacy. It opens up new avenues for improving digital trust. Concretely, there are a set of challenges that are associated with the management of digital identity, mainly in relation to the compliance and governance of personnel data in order to eliminate privacy and security risks.

Strategy, Leadership and AI in the Cyber Ecosystem investigates the restructuring of the way cybersecurity and business leaders engage with the emerging digital revolution towards the development of strategic management, with the aid of AI, and in the context of growing cyber-physical interactions (human/machine co-working relationships). The book explores all aspects of strategic leadership within a digital context. It investigates the interactions from both the firm/organization strategy perspective, including cross-functional actors/stakeholders who are operating within the organization and the various characteristics of operating in a cyber-secure ecosystem. As consumption and reliance by business on the use of vast amounts of data in operations increase, demand for more data governance to minimize the issues of bias, trust, privacy and security may be necessary. The role of management is changing dramatically, with the challenges of Industry 4.0 and the digital revolution. With this intelligence explosion, the influence of artificial intelligence technology and the key themes of machine learning, big data, and digital twin are evolving and creating the need for cyber-physical management professionals.

Susi offers a novel non-coherence theory of digital human rights to explain the change in meaning and scope of human rights rules, principles, ideas and concepts, and the interrelationships and related actors, when moving from the physical domain into the online domain. The transposition into the digital reality can alter the meaning of well-established offline human rights to a wider or narrower extent, impacting core concepts such as transparency, legal certainty and foreseeability. Susi analyses the 'loss in transposition' of some core features of the rights to privacy and freedom of expression. The non-coherence theory is used to explore key human rights theoretical concepts, such as the network society approach, the capabilities approach, transversality, and self-normativity, and it is also applied to e-state and artificial intelligence, challenging the idea of the sameness of rights.
