In this episode, Microsoft Product Manager Shrey Jain and OpenAI Research Scientist ZoĂ« Hitzig join host Amber Tingle to discuss âPersonhood credentials: Artificial intelligence and the value of privacy-preserving tools to distinguish who is real online.â In their paper, Jain, Hitzig, and their coauthors describe how malicious actors can draw on increasingly advanced AI tools to carry out deception, making online deception harder to detect and more harmful. Bringing ideas from cryptography into AI policy conversations, they identify a possible mitigation: a credential that allows its holder to prove theyâre a personâânot a botââwithout sharing any identifying information. This exploratory research reflects a broad range of collaborators from across industry, academia, and the civil sector specializing in areas such as security, digital identity, advocacy, and policy.
