  The web of today whether you prefer to call it web 2.0, web 3.0, web 5.0 or
even the metaverse is at a critical stage of evolution and challenge, largely
centered around its crisis of identity. Like teenagers who cannot assess
properly their reason for being and do not seem ready to take responsibility
for their actions, we are constantly blaming the very system we are trying to
get away from. To truly realize the benefits from innovation and technology,
this crisis has to be resolved, not just through tactical solutions but through
developments that enhance the sustainability of the web and its benefits.
Significant strides are being made in the evolution of digital services enabled
by technology, regulation, and the sheer pace of societal change. The journey
to the decentralized web is mirroring the convergence of the physical and
digital worlds across all economies and is increasingly embracing the digital
native world. Technology has provided the foundational platform for individuals
and entities to create and manage wealth, potentially without the need for big
institutions. Ironically, despite all of the advancements, we are still facing
an unprecedented and increasing wealth gap. Clearly, the system is broken, not
just around the edges but at the very core of the democratic underpinning of
our society. In this whitepaper, we propose how artificial intelligence on
blockchain can be used to generate a new class of identity through direct human
computer interaction. We demonstrate how this, combined with new perspectives
for sustaining community and governance embedded within the use of blockchain
technology, will underpin a sustainable solution to protect identity,
authorship and privacy at the same time while contributing to restore trust
amongst members of a future decentralized nation and hence contribute to
solving the web most significant identity crisis.
