Machine Learning, now popularly called AI, offers great promise for a wide variety of applications, however it also has a number of serious problems, many of them less severe than the total extinction of humanity. Frequent factual errors, which have been called “hallucinations”, might be more accurately described as “confabulations”.
We have just finished a fantastic Mydata 2023 conference, all in all a great event.
Data spaces are an emerging hot topic, this post illustrates the good fit between the design and running of data spaces, and the JLINC protocol.
In this post we drill into the business and commercial use cases and implications of JLINC and the recent patent.
JLINC is a protocol for sharing data protected by an agreement on the terms under which the data is being shared.
The US PTO issued Internet Data Usage Control Systems on January 17, 2023. The patent grants broad coverage for JLINC, which provides a new mechanism to control how data may be used after it is exchanged.
This paper sets out a vision for what could become a sustainable set of processes around the sourcing, management, and use of personal data. Our context for doing so is that the current model for personal data management on The Internet is badly broken and has architectural limitations that are largely un-resolvable...
Open standard Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) might enable a completely new method of secure authentication.
JLINC Technical Philosophy provides a concise background rooted in the lineage of ideas that led up to the JLINC protocol, and explains how it achieves a new paradigm for data exchange on the internet.
Marketers – imagine if you were offering people something they actually felt was fun, instead of annoying and creepy – how much more effective could that be?
Six months in, and it is difficult to separate GDPR theory from GDPR reality. So I decided to find out for myself. As a self-confessed data geek, I have long had an interest in the concept of ‘data portability’.
In the near future, we will see the biggest change to marketing in the past century — the data source used to drive direct marketing will be the individual (buyer) and data-sets under their control.

Many attempts to ‘look on the bright side’ of GDPR are, to say the least, tenuous. But, one really tangible benefit is starting to emerge – the birth of a completely new channel for marketers.
California just passed GDPR-lite. AB-375 will go into effect in January of 2020. JLINC founder Jim Fournier weighs in. How will businesses comply with this?
JLINC can deliver confidentiality, not just privacy, for individuals.
Just weeks ago, the letters G-D-P-R seemed to spell ‘d-o-o-m’ for any company selling consumer data out the back door.
Firstly, data volumes and complexity have clearly gone through the roof over the period, and that shows no sign of slowing.
Alice and Bob are the primary characters in a cast of characters first used in cryptographic circles as placeholder names to represent different parties in a transaction. The story goes like this...
I’m spending a lot of time right now down in the weeds of a large GDPR project; it’s hard going.
The JLINC Protocol is the interoperable solution for transparent crypto-contracts – cryptographically signed 'data exchange contracts'.
