新西兰离数字身份证越来越近了——是时候重新考虑我们如何保护我们的宝贵数据了

Share:

随着信托框架管理局的推出,新西兰在使用数字证书提供在线服务方面迈出了一步。该机构将决定哪些组织可以提供数字身份服务。数字身份证计划旨在通过用数字验证代替实物文件来简化开立银行账户或访问政府服务等流程。

这可能会对新西兰的数字经济产生重大影响。政府数字化部长朱迪思·柯林斯已经表示希望增加政府在卫生和教育等领域对人工智能的使用。但是,需要在管理我们数字经济的原则的更广泛背景下仔细考虑这些事态发展。

尽管数字身份证对于访问和信任数字服务至关重要,但需要根据我们的价值观对其进行管理和保护。这包括考虑个人、社区和国家的观点。还需要将新的数字服务的开发以及谁开发这些服务视为更广泛的数字经济的一部分。

来自Veracity Technology Spearhead项目和国内云提供商Catalyst Cloud的研究人员最近发布的一份报告显示了数字身份证如何与数据管理和信息流密切相关。该报告表明,我们需要调整构建数字系统的方式,转向将数据管理与数据处理分开的去中心化模型。根据经合组织最近的一份报告,迫切需要进行这样的调整,以确保公民和企业在数字世界中的安全并有选择权。

许多国家认识到拥有自己的国家数据基础设施的重要性。例如,爱沙尼亚于2001年推出的X-Road系统是该国电子政务服务的基础,允许公共和私营部门数据库之间进行安全的数据交换。这种基础设施使爱沙尼亚成为从在线投票到数字健康记录等数字政府服务的领导者。

但是,许多本地企业发现自己处于困境。他们依靠大型科技公司提供的服务进行数字化运营,在此过程中无意中移交了数据。例如,小型零售商可能会使用电子商务平台来收集和分析客户数据。虽然这些平台提供有价值的服务,但它们也泄露了可用于与所服务的企业竞争的见解。

本地企业面临的挑战显而易见。他们需要数字工具来保持竞争力,但是使用这些工具通常意味着放弃对所收集数据的控制权。这些数据反过来推动了大型科技公司的增长和主导地位,形成了一个难以打破的循环。

创建公平的国家数据基础设施的道路很复杂,需要政府、企业和民间社会之间的合作。但是,潜在的好处——增加创新、公平竞争和实现数字经济的民主化——使其成为一段值得一去的旅程。
