The internet has been groaning under the load of bots, automation and distrust for a while now anyway: in my mind what is needed is a system for proving constituent parts of your identity which is also privacy preserving. I'm thinking of the work around DID re: rebooting the web of trust, and the W3C working group

If you can wield an ephemeral and verifiable token which asserts your humanness, hierarchically derived from a certificate privately issued to you by one of hopefully a healthy number of well known authorities, you can participate within circles of the human web without revealing anything else about your identity (name, a/s/l, etc)

But, outside of this enclave you can also interact with AI without revealing whether in fact you too are AI.

In this way the internet can develop a more sensitive immune system where it is difficult for human systems to be perverted by Sybil attacks.

Just curious, why would one want to avoid citing Schmidhuber's work?
