Krista Kim on Data Ownership and Web3 at Outer Edge Innovation Summit: Empowerment and Privacy in the Digital Age

Krista Kim on Data Ownership and Web3 at Outer Edge Innovation Summit: Empowerment and Privacy in the Digital Age

At the Outer Edge Innovation Summit on April 23 in Riyadh, Korean Canadian artist Krista Kim emphasized the importance of individuals owning their data during a panel discussion on Web3 and AI for business and smart cities.
Kim, who aims to raise awareness on this issue, believes that data equals power and that people should be empowered by owning their own data and have the freedom to choose which projects they want to be involved in.

The summit brought together notable figures in the blockchain, AI, and gaming industries.

At the Outer Edge Innovation Summit in Riyadh, Kim emphasized that data ownership is a significant human rights issue in the 21st century.

In a panel discussion titled 'Web3 and AI for Business and Smart Cities,' Naif Al-Rabeah, the Director of Web3 and Spatial Reality Portfolio at NEOM, participated.

Recently, Krista Kim presented 'Heart Space,' the first collaborative generative AI biometric artwork, commissioned by Julius Baer at Art Dubai.

Kim criticized the Web2 system for taking data for free and monetizing it through surveillance capitalism.

Scott Lawin, CEO of Candy Digital, attended the summit to support Web3, which allows individuals to authenticate and share their data selectively.

Contemporary artist Lawin attended a panel discussion on the harmony of web3 and smart cities in the Kingdom.

Web3 is the next stage of internet development focusing on decentralization, blockchain, and token-economy.

Lawin expressed excitement about the Kingdom's support for this concept.

He emphasized the importance of data ownership in smart cities, as they are built around data, and individuals should have control over how their data is used.

Data ownership is a significant human rights issue in the 21st century.

Artist Kim Asendorf unveiled "Heart Space," the first collaborative generative AI biometric artwork using heartbeats, at Art Dubai last month.

Visitors take heartbeat measurements through an app, contributing to the artwork and creating an NFT of their heart signature.

The project aims to raise awareness of privacy and self-determination issues related to digital identity.

By creating a heart signature, individuals can take the first step towards securing their identity on the blockchain.

The text discusses the increasing difficulty in distinguishing real from fake content, as AI can now generate fake articles and even fake identities.

In the next three years, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is expected to automatically create stories.

To combat this, Kim suggests using blockchain technology to verify the authenticity of newspapers, journalists, and online media outlets.

On-chain media allows users to see the verification of a story on the blockchain.

Additionally, biometrics such as heart signatures can be used to sign stories online for added verification.

The Outer Edge Innovation Summit took place with prominent figures from the blockchain, AI, and gaming industries attending.

In collaboration with Animoca Brands and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, the summit focused on Web3 advancements and gaming ecosystem development in Saudi Arabia.

Topics at the event included smart cities, gaming, esports, art, culture, and more.
