Talent Identity Provenance Automation for Real & Virtual Identity in Culture Industries (Entertainment, Sports & beyond)
About us
HAND (Human & Digital) is a world-class Talent ID Registry that brings simplicity and scale to talent identity in an interconnected human and digital world. Much like a bar-code, as an ISO-level standard under the DOI Foundation, HAND applies our Citation-Backed Notability™ model to assign persistent, unique, and resolvable IDs to real and virtual talent across the Culture Industries (e.g. - Entertainment, Sports, Music, Fashion, Gaming, News, and more.) In an age saturated with generative AI and deepfake technology, distinguishing the authenticity of talent’s Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), whether appearing on a screen or in a playlist, is essential. HAND (Human & Digital) is committed to delivering trusted provenance automation to verify authentic instances / versions of human talent, their virtual counterparts, and fictional entities. Working with our industry beta partners to design use-cases for production studios and talent agencies in Hollywood using the latest volumetric capture technologies, to the elegant automation of distribution metadata workflows for TV networks and studios, to advanced media performance analytics and the development of interoperable standards — HAND’s SaaS-based subscription model provides both API and web UI access to subscribers. Designed for producers and distributors who can benefit from HAND’s efficiency, cost reduction, and time-to-value acceleration, our public talent identifiers are free to resolve and use in business transactions, forever.

Thanks, Kassi!

Yesterday I recorded a "Kassi &" podcast episode with Will Kreth about the work he is doing with HAND (Human & Digital): talent identity provenance for real & virtual identities in entertainment, sports, and more. Later that night I read an article about ElevenLabs securing the rights to use the voices of Sir Laurence Olivier, Judy Garland, James Dean, and Burt Reynolds to train and create AI clones for use in its platform - which is perfectly in line with the conversation Will and I had! Generative AI, including the creation of voice clones and deepfakes, creates some interesting legal issues - and opportunities! The important thing is to learn about them and become prepared. Trust and estate attorneys have a potential new set of assets to address with their clients. Digital assets - something I talked about with recent former guest Sara Adami-Johnson Esq, Ph.D, TEP, LL.M, JD, CFP®. I'll include a link to the article in the comments and a link to the ElevenLabs preview of Judy Garland's voice clone. #generativeai #voiceclone #deepfakes #digitalassets #ethicalai
