"Building a Trust Layer for the Web"

In this PLAMADISO Talk Series, Richard Whitt shows how a new profession of Net Fiduciaries™ can serve us under duties of care, good faith, and loyalty. In turn, these trustworthy intermediaries can arm us with edgetech applications, such as authentic personal AI agents, which can protect, enhance, and promote our best interests. In his talk, Whitt will also introduce us to the GliaNet Alliance. This new coalition of companies and supporters is building out a real-world community of practice of Net Fiduciaries™
