EP 371 - Your Digital Identity - What If Somebody Else Own's It? - Glenn Gore - CEO at Affinidi

In today’s digital world, individuals have lost control of their personal data. Our identities—once built on physical records and face-to-face relationships—are now scattered across platforms owned by BIG Tech. These companies track, store, and monetize our digital footprints, often without our explicit consent.

In this episode of ATP, we spoke to Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi, who challenges this status quo and argues that ownership of our digital identity should belong to us—not BIG Tech.

Some of the topics Glenn covered in detail include:

• Owning your digital identity means preserving and controlling YOUR narrative—and being empowered by it.
• BIG Tech currently owns your identity and they track, store, and monetize it without meaningful oversight or your full understanding.
• Surveillance capitalism isn’t concerned with who you are—it’s focused on understanding what you do.
• Reclaiming your identity requires a new tech stack and Affinidi is building it—complete with personal data vaults and verifiable credentials.
• As AI becomes personal and powerful, our data becomes more valuable. And we’ll want that AI to work for us, bot for BIG Tech.
