T hrough the digitisation of our biometric and demographic selves\, digital ID converts human beings into digital data\, which in turn mediates access to services and rights – be they public or private\, commercial or not- for-profit\, essential or non-essential.\n\nAllegedly designed to improve services\, and to aid humanitarianism and social inclusion\, digital ID ha s multiple hidden complexities. From denying access to essential goods\, t o algorithmic bias\, to the sharing of sensitive data about vulnerable gro ups – digital ID is not necessarily just\, or balanced\, or helping. It is often severely unfair.\n\nThis book offers a journey into stories of un fair ID. Exploring examples across sectors\, countries and data-managed po pulations\, it takes a data justice perspective on what this unfairness ef fectively means for the users of digital identity systems. Examples range from denial of food rations to eligible beneficiaries\, to the searchabili ty of asylum-seeker data in police force databases\, to the algorithmicall y-determined exclusion of genuinely entitled users from anti-poverty schem es.\n\nThis book also explores forms of resistance to these injustices\, s howing how solidarity movements can resist\, engage and challenge the dama ges of unfair ID. Through its research\, it sets out to imagine forms of f air ID where people’s rights and entitlements are upheld\, ultimately co ntributing to build a future of justice for the digitally identified."\n\n \nThe seminar will be held on zoom on the 15th of November at 12pm GMT\, d etails below.\n\nAll welcome.  Please circulate to your networks.\n\nTopi c: UKAIS webinar: S.
