QiD…
Engineered using an advanced form of AI - Neuromorphic Computing - QiD represents a radically transformative technology development that is able to accurately identify someone without having to know who the someone is…
QiD properly answers the (very important but very difficult) “Who?”- question (“Who is someone actually?”) anonymously and without biometrics
QiD semantically simulates human cognition - how the human mind/brain is naturally and instinctively proceeds to identify a person without knowing the person - it does what we as humans do very well every time we for example unexpectedly meet someone we're able to identify but who we don’t actually know…
“I know you, but I don’t know your name!”
Similarly, QiD is able to identify a person without actually knowing the person…
QiD: Problems Solved…
QiD both effectively as well as efficiently solves the four most pressing (and most challenging) problems that continue to plague identity deployments in a very real way:
Personal Identity: QiD is able to accurately identify a person without having to know the person…
Identity Theft/Fraud: Because QiD is able to accurately identify a person, the technology implicitly renders all forms of identity theft/identity fraud impossible
The problem of identity theft is a global phenomenon which, in spite of every countermeasure employed by private and public organisations to contain it, has nevertheless continued to escalate unchecked in the world…
User Experience (UX): Since QiD is able to identify a person without having to know the person, QiD:
does not require that a new customer/employee/student/patient/citizen… goes through the painful experience of first having to be onboarded or registered and reference-checked before being permitted access to a system/service/facility/right…
obviates the need for annoying/cumbersome (and highly vulnerable) biometrics, login names, passwords, PINs, 2FAs, CAPTCHAs and the like…
Real/Live Person: QiD is able to determine if the person is a real/live/actual person and not a high resolution/photorealistic image or high definition video or deep fake representation of the person
The Problem...
Conventional identification methods fail because ultimately, they all rely on a person’s own say-so, and as experience has proved (and continues to prove) - thanks to tools like Photoshop, AI-generated deep fakes and inexpensive 3D silicone printers that are able to reproduce highly realistic fake models of a person, someone’s own say-so just cannot be trusted - as an anonymous/non-biometric neuromorphic identity technology, QiD is able to accurately identify a person, independently of the person’s own say-so…
QiD: How It Works…
Using a proprietary neuromorphically constructed algorithm developed by research scientists at aiQ Cognitive Technologies (South Africa/India), QiD semantically deconstructs a person’s physiognomy from a 3D selfie to expose the person’s personal identity, which QiD algorithmically expresses as a complex, irreversible, de-identifiable ‘anonymous neuromorphic identity signature’ (‘QiD’) - a 512-alpha/numeric character string which uniquely identifies a person for life
Purely as a practical expedient, a person’s own QiD is assigned a unique 128-bit UUID (‘QiD UUID’) that can be used to record a customer, an employee, a student, a patient, a citizen…
As an anonymous neuromorphic representation of personal identity, a person can never be dispossessed of his/her own/unique QiD - it cannot be cloned, copied or replicated in any way and a person never needs to record or memorise or even know his/her own unique QiD…
