Speaking today at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) Future of Britain Conference 2024: Governing in the Age of AI, Blair continued his years-long push for digital ID adoption.

“An analysis on digital ID, which is an essential part of a modern digital infrastructure, could yield benefits not only for ease of interaction with government but for the public finances,” said Blair.
“Though, we have a little work of persuasion to do here, it has to be said,” he added.
Speaking at a session on “Why Building a Digital Backbone Is Essential for Britain,” India’s former Minister of State for Electronics, Information Technology, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that digital ID was the bedrock of a digital government architecture.
