Judging from the discussion I follow on LinkedIn we seem to have a wide consensus that:
1. AI-agents will be bring a new - even underhyped - level of productivity and convenience at work and at home
2. To employ, empower and steer them we need verifiable credentials
3. To get verifiable credentials flowing we need interoperable general purpose organisation wallets (see German coalition agreement)
4. To operate organisation wallets we need personal wallets for employees (see demo where Bosch tests bank account opening from Germany in Finland)
But is there?
1. A wider consensus in Europe's public sectors should move ahead and be in the first wave of taking organisation wallets in use?
2. That this is needed to open the eyes in enterprises?
3. That there is a rich supply of ID-wallet applications available on the market
4. That Denmarks decision to supply citizens with a wallet from markets (instead of building one) 1st Q 2026 - even if it may not entirely be EUDI-compliant initially is the right way forward?
5. That state issued or promoted wallets should not have a monopoly for public sector credentials?
6. That transatlantic interoperability is in everybody's interest?
7. That banks must be at the table (not on the menu) - for themselves and for society at large?
Now Action is All. IDwallets > AI-Agents and then AI-agents finding more the data for everybody's wallet.
