Dadocracia – Ep. 164 | The debate on identity and digital public infrastructure

What are the main challenges in the debate on identity and digital public infrastructure? This is the theme of episode 164 of Dadocracia, the official podcast of Data Privacy Brasil. Both topics are interconnected, digital public infrastructure is a priority topic for the G20 in 2024 and identity solutions are being designed and implemented in the face of the challenge of validating identities in the digital environment.

In theory, if well implemented, DPI applications mean improved access to public and private services for the population. On the other hand, there is the fear of negative impacts, such as the exclusion of people from systems, excessive data sharing, the erasure of subjectivities, among others. 

This episode features Eduardo Lacerda, general coordinator of Civil Identification at the Digital Government Secretariat, Pedro Martins, academic coordinator at Data Privacy Brasil, Janaína Costa, digital identity specialist and independent consultant, and Yasodara Córdova, digital identity and privacy specialist at Unico and part of the Co-Develop Fund investment board. 

This episode is part of the research “Citizen Architectures in Digital Identity”, funded by Ripple.
