Robin Tombs, co-founder and CEO of Yoti, discusses why the road to fully implementing digital ID into society is a long and challenging one, how social media companies can avoid onboarding underage users and the great challenge to identity posed by the rise of deepfake technology.  Tombs co-founded Yoti – which develops age verification and digital ID technology – in 2014 after working in the online gambling space. Tombs saw the difficulty in verifying ages and identities and sought to develop capable of doing so. Yoti works with partners including Meta and Sony to detect user ages and supplies users with a digital card that it hopes will hold the same weight as physical IDs. 

One of the most frequent requests that we get is to record an episode about Trinsic. So this week we're doing just that because we recently announced the launch of our identity acceptance network in partnership with CLEAR, Yoti, IDVerse, Airside, Dentity, and more than a dozen others.This episode will outline what identity acceptance is, how Trinsic landed on this approach, and how this might be relevant to you.If this is interesting to you, we're hosting a webinar next week which you can learn more about and register at trinsic.id/webinar.To read more about our identity acceptance network check out the announcement: https://trinsic.id/first-identity-acceptance-network/Thanks for listening. Feel free to reach out on Twitter at rileyphughes, and visit trinsic.id if you're interested in participating in our identity acceptance network.

Every year, The Spectator travels the country in search of the best and boldest new companies that are disrupting their respective industries. In a series of five podcasts, we will tell you about the finalists for 2023's Innovator of the Year Awards, sponsored by Investec. The awards winners will be announced in a prize ceremony in November. Listeners will have heard businesses in all sorts of fields – from consumer goods to health technology, from sustainability to the cutting edge of British engineering. But what about the companies that make these businesses work? The behind-the-scenes, boiler room people who offer services to businesses themselves. These days, with advancement in artificial intelligence, their work has been made more effective than ever before. Britain, after all, brought us Alan Turing and Tim Berners-Lee. Martin Vander Weyer, The Spectator's business editor, judges the awards and hosts this podcast along with three other judges: Melissa Readman, partner and investor director at ESM Investments, a fund which invests in early stage companies; Caroline Theobald CBE, an entrepreneur and co-owner of FIRST, which provides enterprise training to young people and business leaders; and Michelle White, co-head of Investec's private office. The finalists in this category are: Igloo Vision, which creates immersive spaces using virtual reality for companies and organisations. Synthesia, an AI video creation platform that produces videos quickly and cheaply. ComplyAdvantage, which uses AI and machine learning to carry out financial due diligence for corporate clients. SoPost, which uses a digital platform to help streamline supply chains for retailers. Good-Loop, which converts clicks on online ads into revenue for partnership charities. Yoti, which provides digital IDs for identity verification. Exclaimer, which provides email signature solutions for the marketing and other needs of businesses. LegalVision, which provides legal advice on an affordable, subscription basis. Finboot, which uses blockchain to help businesses track the environmental impact of their supply chains. Huboo Technologies Ltd, which takes care of the storage and shipping needs of e-commerce businesses that don't have their own warehouses.

This week, reports surfaced that the Entertainment Software Ratings Board is partnering with Yoti, a digital identity firm, to use facial age estimation tech to check the ages of users. Even though the ESRB later clarified that this technology is intended to be used on parents rather than children, concerns over the tech don't stop there. We discuss the issues surrounding this innovation and wonder... what problem is this really meant to solve?We'll also be talking about the news that Microsoft is finally done making Xbox One games, how Activision is suing a music critic over a TikTok pizza clip, and how Microsoft's latest Xbox marketing stunt is a pizza-scented controller.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of racing video games.We love our sponsors!

One of our listeners in Ukraine contacted us to tell us how he stays online during power outages following bombing in Ukraine. Volodymyr Bielikov is on the show to explain the issues he's regularly facing with internet connectivity. AI avatars undressed and virtual employees Ghislaine Boddington looks at the alarming story of how a young female reporter created avatars in the AI avatar app Lensa and was shocked to find that out of 100 avatars, 16 were topless and another 14 wore very skimpy clothing and were in provocative poses. Why has this app created astronauts and warrior avatars for her male colleagues and is undressing her avatars? Ghislaine also looks at the rising employment of virtual staff. The tech company Baidu says the number of virtual people projects its working on has doubled in the last year with prices of a virtual employee starting at just under $3k. Why are they becoming popular and what jobs are they being used for? Evelyn Cheng, senior correspondent from cnbc.com in Beijing, has been investigating the story. An AI age verification system Age verification has long been a topic of discussion, particularly in the online space with regards to young people who often don't have verifiable ID such as a driver's licence. Now a promising AI powered age estimation system, called YOTI, which analyses a person's face is gaining popularity. Shiroma Silva has been testing it out on her colleagues – including Gareth – and reports how some major platforms are using it to keep younger users safe online. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington. Studio Manager: Tim Heffer Producer: Ania Lichtarowicz (Image: Power outage, blackout in Ukraine.

Anton Brisinger and Robin Tombs discuss your digital identity and how Yoti is helping with protecting it

Ken Banks is the Head of Social Purpose at the digital identity startup Yoti. The Yoti app was on mobile technology in Africa. Built with security and privacy as a priority, ensuring a safer way for people to prove who they are, both online and off. The company believes in using tech for good, and is a certified B Corp. Ken is an award-winning founder, technologist, anthropologist, and author committed to supporting positive social and environmental change around the world. Before joining Yoti he worked for more than two decades in global conservation and development, with a particular focus Ken has had the honor of working with eminent leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, taken part in expeditions for National Geographic, and joined delegations to Africa with British Prime Minister David Cameron. In this episode we discuss: What an encrypted ID is, and why it's useful The importance of simplicity in creating a user experience The intersection of technology and social impact Key Takeaways: I appreciate learning about how Yoti has been built. A company focused on identity protection, built on the principles of security and privacy, that can't even access information on their users. Building their platform that way is leading by example, with the best interest of the customer front and center as opposed to the best interest of the company. The world is full of great ideas. What's far less common are people who act on those ideas. In the book Big Magic, author Liz Gilbert writes that ideas are life-forms existing alongside all other life on Earth, They wish to become manifest, which they can only achieve through collaboration with a human partner. So ideas visit us, wave for attention, wake us in the middle of the night, and distract us during the day. Finally, in a moment of quiet, the idea will ask “Do you want to work with me?” Most people say no, and the idea moves on to find someone else that is willing to bring the idea to life. But for those who say yes, “you officially entered into a contract with inspiration, and you must try to see it through, all the way to its impossible-to-predict outcome.” I was reminded of this theory as Ken shared his story of creating Frontline SMS. He had an idea. He said yes. Then he spent a few weeks working on a kitchen table to code the idea into life. Because he said yes. Because he acted, Ken created a technology that benefited tens of millions of people across 190 countries. Ask yourself, what idea is trying to get your attention? And are you brave enough to say yes? Ken's journey is a beautiful example of what can happen if you're brave enough to follow the path of curiosity into the unknown. Maybe curiosity is our sixth sense, excitedly leaving breadcrumbs to lead us down the life path each one of us was meant to walk. From Ken's humble upbringing, he went on to travel the African continent, use technology to impact lives, surviving a pirate attack and close encounters with lions along the way. Ken shares his unlikely journey in his book, The Pursuit of Purpose: Part Memoir, Part Study - A Book About Finding Your Way in the World. If you're interested in learning more about where the path of curiosity led Ken, I encourage you to read it.

In this podcast,  Alttaf Hussain and Valentina Dotto of Yoti join host David Opie to discuss electronic and digital signatures. At a time when the digitisation of legal services is under scrutiny, Alttaf and Valentina discuss the various types of electronic and digital signature available and walk us through the terminology. They also provide some guidance and user cases around when it is most appropriate, and compliant, to use them. With cyber crime and fraud on the rise, technology providers are also under pressure to stay a step ahead of criminal organisations who seek to take advantage of weaknesses in new developments. Beyond the compliance and technology challenges, of digital and electronic signatures have the potential to smooth the conveyancing transaction and "remove friction," ultimately improving the client experience, according to Alttaf. Listen in to hear more thoughts on the wider adoption of digital and electronic signatures. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Le pubblicità personalizzate sono decisamente utili sia per le aziende, sia per utenti che ricevono annunci più interessanti, limitando quelli che rovinano la loro esperienza di fruizione sul web. Ma cosa succederebbe se queste pubblicità, così come le vediamo sul web, esistessero anche nel mondo fisico? Soluzioni simili sarebbero veramente possibili? In questa puntata cercheremo di rispondere a queste domande, approfondendo il tema del marketing di prossimità e delle tecnologie che ora e in futuro potranno permettere di avere l'esperienza degli annunci online anche nella vita reale. Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo di TIM che sperimenta il multicast satellitare, di alcuni sindaci europei vittime di deepfake audio e infine di una intelligenza artificiale di Instagram in grado di riconoscere l'età degli utenti. --Indice-- • TIM sperimenta il multicast satellitare (00:56) - HDBlog.it - Matteo Gallo • Alcuni sindaci vittime di deepfake (02:08) - DDay.it - Davide Fasoli • IA di Instagram per verificare l'età (03:06) - Italian.Tech - Luca Martinelli • Come le pubblicità online raggiungono il mondo reale (04:36) - Luca Martinelli --Contatti-- • www.dentrolatecnologia.it • Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia) • Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia) • YouTube • redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it --Immagini-- • Foto copertina: mrmockup.com --Brani-- • Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft • Found You by Time To Talk, Avaya & RYVM

Épisode 806 : Comme tous les lundis on fait notre veille social media avec vous ! Les dernières news toutes chaudes ! On parle Instagram, Snapchat et TikTok ! Snapchat lance des abonnements payantsC'est un test du côté de la plate-forme au fantôme. Les abonnements payants appelés Snapchat +.C'est toujours notre fameux Alessandro Paluzzi spécialiste en reverse ingénierie qui a vu ça arrive !Donc Snapchat se lance vers une nouvelle voix de monétisations et suis un peu le modèle de Twitter ou même de Telegram.Qu'est-ce qu'on va retrouver dans ses abonnements Snapchat + ?Il y aura un badge sur votre profil pour indiquer que vous êtes un abonné.Vous devriez accéder à des icônes Snapchat exclusifs.Vous pourrez épingler un ami dans l'application comme votre meilleur ami numéro un.Vous pourrez voir l'historique de la localisation de vos amis dans les 24 dernières heures. Et vous pourrez voir combien d'amis ont vu votre Story plusieurs fois. Pour l'instant je trouve que ces différentes fonctionnalités sont assez légères pour carrément avoir envie de payer l'application.Mais on va voir dans les prochains temps ce que ça pourrait donner.Cette liste n'est pas forcément exhaustive il y aura peut-être des fonctionnalités qui vont se rajouter.On a même un détail de prix d'après l'ingénieur :L'abonnement d'un mois coûterait 4,59 euros.L'abonnement de 6 mois 24,99 euros.L'abonnement de 12 mois 45,99 euros.Pour vous tenter avec ses abonnements Snapchat proposent aussi sept jours d'essai gratuit pour ces nouvelles fonctionnalités.À voir si ça intéresse du monde pour l'instant ça me paraît un peu léger.Instagram ajoute de nouvelles fonctionnalités de vérification de l'âgeInstagram souhaite proposer des solutions solides pour protéger ses jeunes utilisateurs. On le rappel aujourd'hui, il faut avoir minimum 13 ans pour créer un compte Instagram. Mais entre 13 ans et l'âge adulte il y a un monde et beaucoup de contenus pas du tout approprié.Pour rappel si j'ai entre 13 et 17 ans, loin compte Instagram est bridé.Je suis pas défaut en compte privé, j'ai un filtre sur les contenus sensibles, et mes DM ne sont pas ouverts aux adultes.Que se passe-t-il quand quelqu'un change sa date de naissance ?Pour Instagram, le challenge prioritaire ne se situe pas forcément au moment de la création du compte mais plutôt après. Notamment quand un compte jusqu'alors mineur décide de changer sa date de naissance pour plus de 18 ans.Tu vois le truc : papa/maman crée un compte avec toi. On met la bonne date de naissance. Mais une fois qu'ils ne sont plus dans les parages je la modifie….Pour Instagram l'enjeu consiste à détecter les utilisateurs mineur au moment d'un changement de date de naissanceLa principale amélioration proposée consiste en un nouveau processus de selfie vidéo, en partenariat avec Yoti. Je me film et une IA fournit des estimations basées sur l'âge d'une personne.Le système de Yoti est basé sur un énorme ensemble de données d'images de personnes du monde entier. Sur cette base, Yoti est capable d'estimer avec précision l'âge d'une personne à partir d'un selfie vidéo.En plus de ça, Meta ajoute également une nouvelle fonctionnalité de “garants” pour confirmer l'âge des utilisateursInstagram vous permet de demander à d'autres utilisateurs de confirmer votre âge. 3 personnes doivent se porter garant. Ils doivent avoir d'au moins 18 ans.La dernière nouvelle mesure est la capacité de télécharger votre pièce d'identité pour vérifier votre âge. Plus basique. Je Scan ma carte d'identité.-Pour l'instant la fonction est en cours de déploiement sur les utilisateurs aux US.TikTok aux USDans la suite de la guerre économique sino américaine, il y a du nouveau.TikTok avait été mise en garde très fortement par l'administration Trump, qui avait même à l'époque menacé d'interdire l'application aux États-Unis.On avait alors parlé de différents potentiels acheteurs américains.Au final dans l'administration Biden, TikTok a fait la promesse de ne plus stocker les données des utilisateurs américains en Chine mais sur les serveurs d'une entreprise américaine aux États-Unis. Et c'était donc les serveurs d' Oracle qui s'était proposés.Et bien nous y sommes. Puisque le lundi 20 juin 2022 TikTok a annoncé avoir achevé la migration de toutes ces données d'utilisateurs américains vers les serveurs d'Oracle aux États-Unis.L'objectif est simple garantir la séparation des informations américaines, et celle de la société mère chinoise.On sait que le gouvernement américain soupçonne notamment l'entreprise chinoise de transmettre des informations au gouvernement chinois.On rappelle d'ailleurs que tous les militaires américains ont interdiction d'avoir l'application TikTok sur leur téléphone.La question est maintenant de savoir si les employés de Biden basé en Chine peuvent encore avoir accès à ces données bien qu'elles se sauvegardent aux États-Unis.On s'est notamment que des mêmes questions sont en cours en Europe pour le stockage des informations ici aussi.Et on sait que les entreprises américaines comme Meta ne stock pas les informations des citoyens européens en Europe.Instagram teste la possibilité d'ajouter des stickers en réalité augmentée dans les storiesCool ! Mais de quoi il s'agit exactement.Et bien en gros, Instagram va mettre à disposition des objets en 3D animés intégrables au coeur d'une vidéo.Cela ressemble de très près aux World Lenses de Snapchat , lancées en 2017.Lien vers le Wordls Lenses de SnapchatTu peux par exemple intégrer un arc en ciel en 3D au coeur d'une scènette vidéo. Ou coller un objet en 3D sur une table par exemple.Ca peut être vraiment très cool.Pour l'instant c'est juste à l'état de test, mais on ne serait pas étonné que ça déboule très vite… genre rentrée de septembre.—Autre point, Instagram développe aujourd'hui une fonction permettant d'intégrer des oeuvres NFT en réalité augmentée dans nos contenus.On en avait déjà parlé ici, Instagram propos aujourd'hui de pouvoir publier des ouvres numériques NFT sur son compte Instagram.Vous allez pouvoir désormais les intégrer en réalité augmentée dans vos posts.J'ai par exemple un NFT d'une oeuvre graphique très cool, et bien je vais pouvoir la coller sous la forme d'un cadre dans une photo ou une vidéo de mon salon.Evidemment c'est un peu gadget pour l'instant, mais Instagram avance à grand pas sur ces sujets. L'objectif non dissimulé est à terme de pouvoir disposer d'objets 3D en NFT en réalité augmentée.En gros j'achète un NFT en 3D et je peux l'intégrer dans mes contenus vidéos ou photos.. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

The report will be launched end of February.Catch up here:New way of calculating alcohol attributable deaths and hospital admissions 🎵 Podcast feature 🎵At the beginning of October, Public Health England (PHE) became the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). One of their first jobs was to publish new estimates for alcohol attributable deaths and hospital admissions, due to an updated methodology and way of calculating these figures.For alcohol-related conditions – conditions that are sometimes caused by alcohol but sometimes not – academics use what is called ‘alcohol attributable fractions’ (AAFs) to calculate the proportion of these cases caused by alcohol. As opposed to alcohol-specific conditions that are a direct consequence of alcohol use, which are far easier to work out.AAFs are calculated by looking at the relative risk of certain diseases among those who drink compared to those who don’t drink, and the prevalence of alcohol consumption across the population.AAF estimates were calculated in 2013 using the data PHE had at the time. Since then, drinking across the population has fallen on average and the relative risk has changed for 29 conditions. Therefore PHE/OHID recalculated using more up-to-date population figures.The new calculation shows a 23% reduction in deaths and admissions, however as OHID says, this “doesn’t mean that the health risk due to alcohol is lower than it was before”. It means that people are drinking less across the population, but not that the risk of drinking has changed. Also worth noting is that the shocking 20% rise in alcohol-specific deaths last year remains unchanged.Furthermore, this reduction in consumption seems to be happening among moderate drinkers, whereas heavier drinkers seem to be consuming more. Given heavier drinkers are more at risk of developing health conditions, this reduction across the adult population could be seen as a red herring.Using the new method there are still almost 1 million alcohol-related hospital admissions in England each year.Every few years the AAFs will need updating to reflect changes in consumption across the country.Ireland introduces minimum unit pricingThe Republic of Ireland has commenced with its minimum unit pricing (MUP) policy, which sees the lowest price that can be charged for a gram of alcohol set at 10c, meaning a ‘standard drink’ — one that contains 10 grams of alcohol — will cost a minimum of €1. Here are some examples of the minimum products will now cost:Table credit: Compton SolicitorsIreland’s Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said that “Addressing the availability of cheap strong alcohol products will reduce the disease and death caused by the harmful use of alcohol and will ensure that cheap strong alcohol is not available to children and young people at pocket money prices.”As Alcohol Action Ireland explain on their website:“MUP can save lives precisely because it targets only the strongest and cheapest drinks, which are the alcohol products favoured by two groups most vulnerable to alcohol-related harm – the very heaviest drinkers among us, who generally seek to get as much alcohol as they can for as little money as possible, and our young people, who generally have the least disposable income but the highest prevalence of binge drinking. “MUP will have no impact on the price of a pint, or any alcohol sold in pubs, clubs or restaurants and will have little or no impact on those who drink in a low-risk manner.”Alcohol producers and retailers are divided as to whether the measure is good news for them. The chief executive of the Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association said, “I represent retailers that are hard pushed at the moment, particularly as it’s so difficult to get staff and maintain them. They’ve been through a war and it’s given them a kick in the teeth by allowing this product to effectively be exported”. Some retailers have expressed concern that people living close to the border will drive to Northern Ireland to buy alcohol, where MUP is yet to be implemented. Many agree that the policy should be an all-island policy, to avoid such issues.Eunan McKinney of Alcohol Action Ireland said:“There is no question that introducing MUP to Northern Ireland, at the appropriate rate, would help reduce the dreadful impact of alcohol harm across the community. A renewal of a political commitment to the policy is now needed from all parties as Northern Ireland heads into the next electoral cycle.”However, other retailers are less worried about any major financial impact, partly due to research from Scotland suggesting a “modest impact” on the drinks industry. For small producers and craft breweries that already sell products for a higher price, some argue it makes them more competitive with supermarkets and large multinational producers.Professor Michel Destrade of NUI Galway was critical of the policy as he argues it will make alcohol retailers and illegal drug criminals richer: “Is it wise or correct for the Government to base an economic policy on the assumptions that price is enough to deter heavy drinkers and that heavy drinkers only seek cheap alcohol?”. Destrade argues that is likely that “heavy drinkers will switch to different beverage categories, cut down on other outgoings, travel more to Northern Ireland or France, support contraband, and switch to or increase their consumption of legal and illegal intoxicants”.World Heart Federation strongly rebukes ‘myth’ of alcohol prolonging lifeOn Thursday 20 January the World Heart Federation (WHF) published a policy briefing that was widely covered in the media, which stated that:“Risks due to alcohol consumption increase for all the major cardiovascular diseases, including hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation and flutter, and stroke. The widespread message for over 30 years from some researchers, the alcohol industry, and the media has been to promote the myth that alcohol prolongs life, chiefly by reducing the risk of CVD.”They recommend that advocacy societies and organisations “must play a central role in advocating for stricter alcohol control measures… To begin with, all such actors should uniformly indicate that no level of alcohol is safe, given the current evidence”. Further, they argue that cardiology societies can play a role in a range of activity including advocating for WHO’s SAFER guidelines, calling for stricter regulation of alcohol, and for specific measures such as MUP.Despite the WHF highlighting that the media and alcohol industry is somewhat to blame for this misinformation, a few papers sought comment from the trade body the Portman Group, who responded with: “It is important not to exaggerate the risk of moderate drinking and unduly alarm responsible consumers who are more than able to make informed decisions and enjoy alcohol sensibly”. On Twitter the Portman Group linked to another industry website which says, “the majority of large studies have found that risk [of CVD] is lower for individuals who are light or moderate drinkers than for those who do not drink at all”.In response to this IAS released the following statement:"The health risks of alcohol are in the news again today following the World Heart Federation (WHF) stating that “Risks due to alcohol consumption…. chiefly by reducing the risk of CVD [see above].”“The evidence on the relationship between alcohol and cardiovascular diseases continues to accumulate, with reliable information available from Alcohol Change UK, Alcohol Focus Scotland, Alcohol Action Ireland, SHAAP and the WHF.“Various media articles today sought comment from the alcohol industry on the WHF policy briefing, leading to industry organisations commenting on health matters. Research has shown alcohol industry and corporate social responsibility body funded materials may not be a reliable source of health information for the public. Health information on the risks of alcohol should be provided by independent bodies, free from conflicts of interest, just as the tobacco industry is not involved in educating about the risk of smoking."Many schools use materials on alcohol harm from industry-funded sourcesResearch from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine was publish on 12 January which found that many schools use materials to educate children about alcohol harm that come from alcohol industry-funded sources.The Guardian covered the story and said analysis by the researchers, including Dr May van Schalkwyk and Professor Mark Petticrew, found that the materials are potentially harmful because they downplay the harms drink can cause and seek to “blame-shift” responsibility for problems from manufacturers on to young people. They said:“Alcohol industry-sponsored youth education programmes serve industry interests and promote moderate consumption while purportedly educating children about harms and influences of alcohol use.”The materials they analysed are from Drinkaware, Smashed and Talk About Alcohol (a project by the Alcohol Education Trust) – all of which receive industry funding. Drinkaware swiftly removed the materials from their website and said: “The materials included in this research are out of date and don’t reflect our current guidance. They should have been removed from our website and they now have been. We’re sorry this didn’t happen sooner.”Helena Conibear, the Alcohol Education Trust’s chief executive, accused the authors of “gross misrepresentation” and including “assertion”, “polemic” and selective quotation in their findings.The publication found that the programmes promoted a familiarisation and normalisation of alcohol as a ‘normal’ adult consumer product, “which children must learn about and master how to use responsibly when older”.The materials “employ selective presentation of harms, including misinformation about cancer”. Some misleadingly imply that only heavy or excessive drinking raises the risk of the disease.Heaviest drinkers bought 17 times the amount of alcohol as lowest drinkers in lockdownsA Newcastle University study was published on 19 January which analysed household purchasing data to understand the change in alcohol purchasing habits in Britain during the Covid lockdowns.In a recent article the researchers stated that upon first review of the data there appeared to be a paradox; that despite the huge rise in alcohol harm and death in 2020, the amount of alcohol purchased remained relatively stable.Their study looked at purchase data of 79,000 British households and found that the top fifth of households who previously bought the most alcohol increased their purchasing more than 17 times that of the lowest fifth that bought the least alcohol.This contributes to evidence that suggests the 19% rise in alcohol-specific deaths in 2020 was due to heavier drinkers consuming more. As heavy drinkers are more at risk of alcohol harm, this increase in purchasing and consumption could have led to many being tipped over the edge into further harm and death.The study also found that those living in the most disadvantaged households increased their purchases of alcohol more than those from the least disadvantaged households. Further, households with older residents and households in the north of England increased their purchases more than other groups.Professor Sir Ian Gilmore of the Alcohol Health Alliance said:“The pandemic highlights the urgent need for the Government to take action to protect the most vulnerable drinkers and disadvantaged communities from alcohol harm. This study suggests that minimum unit pricing can make a difference to purchases.”The researchers concluded that:“Alcohol policy to reduce high consumption of alcohol, and the availability of help and treatment to reduce alcohol consumption become more important during extraordinary times, such as COVID lockdowns.”The study came out at the same time that The Royal College of Psychiatrists highlighted a big increase in the number of people drinking at ‘increasing or high risk’ levels. In the three months to the end of October 2021, 8 million people reported drinking at these levels, compared to 6 million up to February 2020, and 5 million up to October 2019.Professor Julia Sinclair, the chair of the addictions faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said:“What we’re going to see is that some people who were perhaps drinking at a higher risk but weren’t physically dependent will have pushed themselves into being physically dependent, and they’re not the group who can suddenly wind back from this.”The NHS also released alcohol statistics at the end of the month, which show there were 976,429 hospital admissions in 2019/20 linked to alcohol – a 16% rise from the previous data collected in 2016/17 – which makes up 5.7% of all hospital admissions in England.They also highlighted the rising affordability of alcohol, which leads to increased alcohol harm, to which Dr Alison Giles was quoted by the Telegraph:“The statistics highlight the false economy of the Government’s repeated cuts and freezes to alcohol duty in recent years, which will cumulatively cost the Treasury over £16.2 billion from 2013-2027, and further increase hospital admissions and death. This increasing affordability needs to be tackled, such as with a duty ‘escalator’ where alcohol duty rises with inflation each year, a policy that could form part of an alcohol strategy.”‘Misleading claims’ by industry in WHO consultation submissionsThe Centre for Alcohol Policy Research in Australia, supported by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), has released a new report that shows alcohol companies and their lobby groups made 60 submissions to the World Health Organization’s consultation on its alcohol action plan, with many containing misleading claims and misrepresented scientific evidence”.One of the main industry demands is to abandon what they label a “problematic” 2030 target of reducing consumption by 20% and instead to focus on reducing “harmful” consumption – a call that researchers and alcohol control advocates deem to be less effective due to its vagueness.90% of the industry submissions called for greater alcohol company involvement in harm reduction and policy making and over 50% cast doubt on WHO’s evidence-based policies. Only 36% referenced any specific evidence to support their arguments, with most promoting weak evidence or misinterpreting it.FARE’s Chief Cxecutive Caterina Giorgi said alcohol companies had been lobbying for decades to “minimise health concerns and delay effective measures” to reduce alcohol’s health impacts and they should have “no role in the development of health policy”.ABA president Andrew Wilsmore said the industry has a legitimate role to play in policies that affect them, “to ensure that those policies are effective, efficient and grounded in reality”. Wilsmore said “We focus on supporting effective programs that focus on education, awareness and changing behaviours relating to alcohol consumption”.Such measures have been repeatedly denounced by public health experts as ineffective, especially compared to evidence-based policies advocated for by the WHO. In 2017 Professor Mark Petticrew wrote that “the argument against the implementation of effective population-level measures appears to be constructed from at least five frequently recurring elements” including “claims that information, education and personal responsibility are the appropriate and/or most effective solutions”.Artificial Intelligence tech trialled to estimate age of customersFive major supermarkets will be trialling facial age estimation technology between January and May this year, via self-service terminals.The technology – Yoti – will take photos of consenting customers who have alcohol in their basket and will estimate their age. The tech claims to have an average accuracy of within 2.2 years for all ages, and within 1.5 years for people aged 16-20 years old. The machine will delete the photos after estimation. During the trial customers will still be required to present ID if asked.The trial is part of the Government’s ‘regulatory sandbox’, which looks to test ways to “improve the experience of consumers and retailers when purchasing age restricted products”.At the end of 2021 IAS published a report developed by Jessica Muirhead of Wrexham Glyndŵr University on ‘Preventing underage alcohol purchasing online using payment card details’, which the Government is looking at as an option.Children exposed to 554 brands every day, including from harmful commoditiesA New Zealand study that placed wearable cameras on 90 children aged 11-13 found that they were exposed to a mean average of 554 brands per 10 hour day, almost a brand every minute.The brands were seen predominantly as product labels (36% of exposures) and product packaging (22%), and mostly in school (43%) and at home (30%).Food and beverages were the dominant product category with 20% of exposures and the most pervasive marketing brands typically sold a range of products across more than one product category. For instance children were exposed to Nike on average 20 times per day.Children were exposed to more than twice as many harmful commodities as core food and social marketing messages (76 compared to 32 per 10hr day). Harmful commodities included junk food, alcohol and gambling.The researchers concluded that:“Given the key role marketing plays in establishing and supporting consumption norms, and perpetuating the normalisation of overconsumption which contributes to environmental degradation, these findings suggest an urgent need to reduce marketing to promote planetary health.”What language should we use and what language contributes to stigma?Dr Kristen Fuller writes that our brain responds to words with a process we call “associative activation”, where after hearing a word we form an idea followed by an emotion which then produces an action or reaction.She says that as a result, words have “an immediate, visceral adverse reaction. When we hear words like “crazy,” “addict,” or “alcoholic,” we immediately label the individual as bad, simply because of the stigmatising language that our brain processes into a visceral negative emotion”.Dr Fuller writes that reframing terms to be more “person-centred” means we don’t define people by their illness e.g. instead of calling someone “mentally ill” say “a person living with a mental health condition”, or “a person living with an alcohol use disorder” instead of “an alcoholic”.Alcohol Change UK (ACUK) has an excellent briefing on its website which discusses how we should talk about alcohol.ACUK is currently working with the University of Stirling on a project that will look at how we frame alcohol harm.The UK Alcohol Alert (incorporating Alliance News) is designed and produced by The Institute of Alcohol Studies.

In this episode of the Anthropology in Business podcast, Ken Banks speaks with Matt Artz about his career as a business anthropologist. The conversation covers Ken’s career as a social entrepreneur working in mobile technology, his current role as  Head of Social Purpose at Yoti, and his upcoming bookThe Pursuit of Purpose. In this episode of the Anthropology in Business podcast, Ken Banks speaks with 

Thousands of current and former Tesco workers have had their legal argument in their fight for equal pay upheld. We speak with the BBC’s Emma Simpson to hear the details. Lebanon is no stranger to hardship; from the wreckage of its civil war to the world's largest ever non-nuclear explosion happening at its port, the country has not had an easy ride. Lebanon’s economic and financial crisis could rank as one of the three most severe the world has seen in the last century and a half. The BBC's Ed Butler has an extended report. The rollercoaster ride for American stocks continues as cinema chain AMC offers free popcorn to investors – the BBC’s Samira Hussain in New York tells us more about the trading frenzy. And finally, it’s been billed as an e-wallet that will give people a seamless way to access public and private services – but what about the privacy pitfalls? We speak with Julie Dawson, the Director of Regulation and Policy at the digital wallet and ID app Yoti.

Ken Banks built the first version of FrontlineSMS over 5 weeks while unemployed at the home of his in-laws. Just a few years later, it was in use by development and conservation organizations in more than half of the countries in the world. He's described himself as a "scrappy" man who enjoys building his own websites and living out of a camper van for two years. And yet the world knows him as an authority on mobile technology for positive social and environmental change, as an adventurer and National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and as someone who's brushed shoulders with and won the support of people as diverse as Desmond Tutu and Peter Gabriel.   In our conversation, Ken describes the unlikely beginnings of FrontlineSMS - including how little it was used in the first two years after it was built. He shares how he started out running a primate sanctuary in Nigeria, and his initial work in conservation before global health and development really entered his life. He shares the surprising chain of events that led him to specialise in mobile technology for positive social and environmental change. And he also opens up about the stress of running a global, mission-critical piece of software, as well as the challenges he's faced within the aid and development industry. Finally we talk about his move into the private sector in 2018, to work on digital identity with Yoti as its Head of Social Purpose.   To find out more, download the show notes at https://AidEvolved.com  Let us know what you think of this episode on Twitter (@AidEvolved) or by email (hello@AidEvolved.com)

This week I had the privilege of having a conversation with Ken Banks. Ken has spent over 25 years working in and around humanitarian aid. He is the founder of FrontlineSMS and now works for Yoti as their Head of Social Purpose. In this episode we talk about Yoti’s recent social purpose report, their Guardian council, and what he has been learning.(the first version of this episode had audio problems) 

Dock9's MD, Mark Lusted, continues our Tech Talk series with Gareth Narinesingh, Commercial Director (Financial Services) at Yoti. Yoti is a digital ID and credential management platform that allows organisations to verify identities and trusted credentials online and in person. With over 7 million downloads of their app, Yoti's products span identity verification, age verification, document e-signing, access management and biometric authentication. Topics covered: An overview of Digital ID technology Use cases within the financial services sector, including onboarding and ongoing authentication The challenges to adoption within incumbent financial companies Recent regulation change and upcoming standardisation efforts that could accelerate adoption later in 2020

Is India's digital identity program — Aadhaar — helping the marginalized communities or is it working against them? Yoti's Digital Identity Fellow Subhashish Panigrahi discovers more in this first episode of the MarginalizedAadhaar Podcast. (read more about the fellowship at https://yotifellows.com) From its inception Aadhaar has been marketed by its makers as the most reliable identification for public benefits. But human rights advocates feel the other way. And they all the reasons to do so. Several facts suggest systemic exclusions for many of India's marginalized peoples and the aggressive push for including every person's private data on a database to finally use the same data for mass surveillance. Aadhaar has been oversimplified as a 12-digit unique number that can be used to authenticate at a point of service — government or private. However, it is tied to a person's biometric data like fingerprint and iris scan, and a range of personal data. The complex role that Aadhaar plays in the lives of some of the most marginalized communities is what Yoti Digital Identity Fellow Subhashish Panigrahi aims to study through the project MarginalizedAadhaar. In the first episode of this podcast, rights activist and author Raghu Godavar discusses about the systemic exclusions in the enrollment and use of Aadhaar. With help from Parsuram Harijan, Gori Keuta and Ratan Naik of the Taragan village of Nabarangpur dist., Odisha, India tell how they have been denied of food grains and ration for months and years. And finally, human rights lawyer and researcher Usha Ramanathan dissects Aadhaar's fundamental design to pinpoint the system issues with Aadhaar.

Did Avril Lavigne die and get replaced by a clone who's been fooling fans for the last 17 years?         The theory claims that Avril, struggling with fame having been thrust into the limelight at only 18, began using a body double named Melissa Vandella hired for her striking resemblance to Avril. At some point, the real Avril is said to have died, so the record company replaced her with Melissa full-time.  The evidence is certainly intriguing but as always Ricky & Tony's rolodex is on hand to get an expert opinion. Avril superfan Mika Itkin-Weinstein has spent an unhealthy amount of time looking into this case already having set up a petition to unite Avril and her clone Melissa for a photo, and to find out how cutting edge technology could help solve this case once and for all Ricky & Tony chat to the founder of face recognition app YOTI.  A complicated case but for Ricky & Tony it's another day in the office and no case goes unsolved...ever!

Over the past few years, we have seen an unprecedented number of data breaches and a huge amount of personal information exposed. This has resulted in an increase in Identity Theft. According to Breach Level Index, identity theft accounted for 64% of data breaches between January and June 2016. We got to speak to Yoti about Identity theft, it's size, impact and ways in which we can secure our Digital Identity. Speaker Profile: Julie Dawson, Director of Regulatory & Policy, Yoti Julie leads regulatory and government relations, steers our ethics framework development liaising closely with the Yoti Guardians Council, and prepares Yoti for external accreditations - such as ISO 27001, BCorps for ethics and transparency and the SOC2 security accreditation. About Yoti: Yoti is an identity checking system that allows organisations to verify who people are, online and in person. Yoti has a team of 250 based in London, with offices in Mumbai and present in the US, Canada and Australia. We count over 6 million installs of the Yoti app, following our launch in November 2017.

Alttaf is the Team Lead & Tech Lead for Yoti. Watching Knight Rider and Terminator as a child sparked Alttaf’s interest in technology. He always has a desire to figure out how tech is working. This fascination led him into a career in computer science, completing a Bachelors degree in Artificial Intelligence in 2006. He started his career in tech through a graduate training scheme at a company called Thales. He was building flight simulators using a mixture of C++ and AI. In his next role, he moved into web where he was working on an HR platform with Untangel Limited. His interest in Javascript was a key factor in taking the role as Untangel was one of the first companies to use Javascript on the backend. His next move was Yoti in 2016, after showing the CEO a potential demo of electronic signing he loved it so Altaff and a colleague went away and built the demo which is now in production.

Welcome to episode 60 of the EdTech Situation Room from August 9, 2017, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wes Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the celebrated death of a podcasting patent, revised password recommendations for users, hacked school Twitter accounts, new STEM-focused badges for Girl Scouts, and summer experiments with BadgeList.com. Additional topics included the recent Google broohaha over a sexist employee-authored memo, a new study further debunking the "digital native" myth, digital identity with Yoti, a predicted cyborg evolution for humanity, Jason's new Windows 10S experiment, and a creepy prototype of a self-driving truck. Geeks of the week included The Hackable Podcast by McAfee (from Jason) and "Send by FireFox" (from Wes). Wes also shared a flashback memory from 2010 involving the "FireSheep" extension for FireFox. Check out the podcast shownotes for links to a post about that incident and all the referenced articles / resources from the show. Follow us on Twitter @edtechSR to stay up to date about upcoming shows.
