Identity Forces: The Arrival of the Interoperable HAND (Human & Digital) Talent ID
Systemic change is once again impacting sports & entertainment businesses – and existential questions are on the table. With the recent strikes voicing concerns about the rise of generative AI & deep fake technology, the autonomy and value of talent’s identity essence (NIL: Name, Image, Likeness) is on everyone’s radar. Talent will increasingly want the option to be virtual — to have a digital twin — and will want to properly license, track, and monetize themselves. Accordingly, the need for tools using a standards-based approach to help attest to the provenance and authenticity of ALL the players in the value chain is essential. It is said that “you cannot Automate what you cannot Identify” and this session explores the arrival of the interoperable HAND (Human & Digital) Talent ID – the first global ID registry for notable legal, virtual, and fictional talent in sports & entertainment. Presenter: Will Kreth, HAND (Human & Digital), CEO
