<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Responsible Digital Futurists,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Firstly, I hope you all had a good start into 2026. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to invite you to our first monthly meeting of the year which will take place next Wednesday. The topic will be:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Designing Responsible Digital Identity Systems: Ethical, Organisational and Socio-Technical Challenges in the UK and Beyond<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract</b>:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recent UK policy developments signal a significant shift in national digital identity strategy, moving away from decentralised and privacy-oriented architectures toward a more centralised approach. This transition raises important questions
about governance, institutional coherence, stakeholder engagement and the embedding of public values in digital identity infrastructures. This presentation introduces a comparative study of digital identity schemes in the UK, EU/EC, Japan and North America,
highlighting how different political, regulatory and organisational environments shape design choices and system outcomes. Viewing these programmes as public service information systems, the talk draws on socio-technical theories and standardisation research
to examine the conditions under which digital identity systems support—or undermine—ethical data practices. The session invites discussion on how interdisciplinary and international collaboration can contribute to more responsible digital identity governance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Presenter</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yoshiaki Fukami (PhD): Yoshiaki Fukami is an Associate Professor at the Tokyo University of Science. His research explores the intersections of platform strategy, open collaborative innovation, digital governance, with a particular focus
on the standardisation processes shaping emerging technologies. He has been actively involved in international standardisation activities, including at the W3C, and contributes to interdisciplinary discourse across policy, ethics, and information systems.
His recent work investigates decentralised identity frameworks, digital transformation in healthcare, and the ethical challenges surrounding AI-enabled infrastructures. Currently on research sabbatical at University of Nottingham.<o:p></o:p></p>
