'WE need a new approach to digital identity,' so say the authors of an 'Agenda Article' for the World Economic Forum, published on September 28.
Digital ID has been in the news a lot lately, obscured for a time in the midst of the Israel situation.
Last month, the United Nations Development Programme published its legal guidelines for digital IDs as well as 'mobilising' global leadership with a $400m fund to empower digital identity programmes in over 100 countries.
Various nations are already taking steps in that direction. Multiple U.S.
states are either already issuing digital IDs or planning to in the near future, as are Kenya, Somalia, Bhutan and Singapore. Austria's system is going online in December.

Just two days ago, the Journal of Australian Law Society predicted the same thing.
