But they can just plug an AI into a verified account.

I am less concerned here. If you plug in AI into your identity, I guess your identity is revoked. I see the problem though, that once a service notices you're an AI, there is no way to block you because we don't really know who you are, only that you're human.

So we need a mechanism that makes this identity verifiable, maybe you get a unique identifier from the identity service, so you can block the account. There is no mechanism to report you to say, the identity service (this is a bot), so you manage your own block list.

The risk here is fingerprinting, your id can be cross referenced across apps. Maybe here is where you implement a zk proof that you're who you say you are.

I don’t love the original idea because uploading identification is risky. You could just plug AI into a verified account but at least the vector is a single account instead of unbounded.

But then if the AI is detected that person can be permanently banned. No more AI. No new accounts.

  • So if someone compromises your identity they can unperson you? How will the AI be detected? By another AI?

    • "So if someone compromises your identity they can unperson you?"

      You've identified a problem that unrelated systems also have. Like banks and identity theft. This solution isn't responsible for causing that problem.

      "How will the AI be detected? By another AI?"

      However a platform likes to. Let the best platform win.
