The pilot episode! The ex-CIOs are “unleashed” and talk about the state of innovation leadership in local government (whose job is it really?) and delve into the value of digital IDs and state-issued mobile driver licenses (mDLs) to cities. They discuss how different approaches to digital ID can seamlessly, and securely, unlock municipal services for residents. Mike provides details on a recent project exploring emergency relief payments with decentralized IDs and verifiable credentials. Mark answers the question, how do local governments get ready for the adoption of portable digital IDs and mDLs?
