How Bhutan Leapfrogged to Next-Gen Digital ID
Manage episode 440980546 series 3601273
On this week's episode of ID Talk, co-hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala are joined by Anand Acharya and Pallavi Sharma, who discuss their work on Bhutan NDI, a pioneering national digital ID program that incorporates blockchain and biometric technologies. Among other things, the conversation delves into the historical and geographic factors that led to the digital ID project, the system's architecture and its rationale, and the project's ambitious plans for the future—and it illustrates how a relatively small country can technologically leapfrog larger states in implementing new technologies.
