“What if the coronavirus, rather than the needs of commerce and government, drives us to build the digital identity infrastructure that we so desperately need? That is, an infrastructure for the 21st century — digital identity not digitised identity in a privacy-enhancing framework — that is in my opinion far more important to the economy as whole and to us as individuals than a railway to Birmingham that costs more than putting people on Mars We need to bring the capabilities of new technology, the ethical and moral frameworks, the economic imperatives and the social structures together to start building it now. It may be too late to help this time, but at least we’ll be ready for next time.”
