Quite encouraging to see the Estonian Government fully embrace technology and improve Government services easily accessible to all, at the same time have clear data ownership principles. Quite admirable
Great talk, great system! I hope Finland will soon follow in Estonia's footsteps in this. So far, the main problem has been the technologically challenged older people, who refuse to adopt new ways out of fear of the unknown, and their younger enablers, who keep drumming for their right to remain ignorant.
I’d like to have it in my country. We’re in 2020 and I can’t really see that we use the “digital” potential. Estonia has been using it for almost 20 years. Why can’t we? The vision of getting rid of all the paperwork has completely taken me. In my opinion we waste so much time organising, filling out or even keeping any kind of documents. Of course introducing such a solution to government’s system is probably not easy and takes lot of time but I’m sure it will pay off. In my country going to any office is a nightmare and I mean it. You have to be mentally ready for standing in a queue for half day , dealing with office workers and finally after all of this finding out that you didn’t bring one document which makes you unable to get something done. Here’s the solution and I love it.
Well as she mentioned the 3 things. Marriage, getting an ID card and real estate - we still have to go through that. Your comment actually hit close. I just got my ID card renewed and had to simply sit in a crowded office space waiting for my number to go up. Like jesus, even that one time was enough. Tbh I was a little bit lazy and didn't pre-book a time so I had to go through the regular queue but yeah. One part of the "hidden government" I love that I can do anything through a center "citizen hub" site and don't have to basically take a day or two off to "do government stuff". In reality the biggest problem is that you simply have to trust your government managing this but you put trust in your system anyhow, digital or not.

Awesome! Now i‘d like to see A.I. Being the government itself. It‘s not perfect either but it would be preferable to a situation where narcissism fights its way to power.
Dialectical Monist you mean who programs it? People who understand that government is there for the needs of society and who are not afraid of making themselves obsolete. It would be difficult for sure. But if the result is a government that cannot be corrupted by narcissism, it‘s worth it.
Artificial intelligence is the future. I do not want to see inefficient, corrupt and unstable governments in a next 10-20 years. Human beings are painfully bad at governing, becouse of their nature. Only through technology there can be progress.
Estonia's lessons around digital identity, 'Once only', X-Road data exchange (including use of blockchain), Data ownership, and the concepts of the data embassy and e-residency - remain highly relevant to other Governments seeking to transform the way government and society interact. While some technological aspects have since evolved - the underlying approach remains a helpful example/model.

Estonia perhaps the biggest plus is that we are a "manageable" country with a small population, so if some politician or anyone gets rich quick the alarm bells go off. But practically the trust has been gained and at the end of the day the idea is very simple. Instead of going to the office and writing stuff on paper you simply file it online. Like the government will get your data one way or another. It's just more efficient. Every person saves hour/days of travel time in a year and as a population we save a percentage or two, three from the overhead cost of "the government". I kind of hate the concipracy theories. I mean if they mismanage the data then the government would mismanage any data and use it for ill , again digital or not. So far the system works and if we are constantly afraid of everything we could simply do away with government alltogether and live as hut tribes in forests. At the end we still have to "give power" to people to manage others and every system that has humans as a factor in it can fail. But putting those fears first would lead to no progress. I mean we are doing fine, we have roads, schools, gdp per capita is mostly going up, more cash in our pockets etc. It's stupid to have such big fears upfront. I mean its smart to be cautious but for gods sake, at least try the system before building a "mental wall" infront of you. This is more for US citizens who I have seen mostly being extra paranoid about their government while the main collectors are the ones all use as in facebook, google and other sorts tech companies who can track your phones through gps and they don't answer to any government or could "hop countries" .

Politicians, and the human factor in general, hinder more than they help. Humans have their own agendas that are often not in line with the common good. Prejudices, sympathy for some and not for others, corruption and personal gain, retribution of personal favors, and cognitive biases are some of the factors that compromise the evaluations of human decision makers. Algorithms and AI are much more reliable and transparent, and should be used whenever possible. When the unique abilities os humans are needed, a careful structure should be put in place to counteract the negative aspects of human judgment. A lot of progress has been made in this direction in psychology and behavioral economics, and these ideas should be used when we structure the decision-making processes. Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler have been talking about these things.
*Things that have actually happened in my life* Dad, trying to get his blood test results online: What do you mean I don't have permission IT'S MY BLOOD!??!

Me: walks into new doctors office Doctor: can you wait like 5 minutes, the system has crashed, i don't even know your age
I kind of like what I am hearing about taxes being simplified and free to file. And hope the next step is not filing at all because the government already has all the data, so why they just send me an annual report?
In Italy you can avoid paying taxes at all. The more you owe to Italy the more it respects you. By not paying your taxes you gain power, what's better than that?
My other concern would be, for those who are living on the street, ir other wise homeless, how does this affect basic survival? If one doesnt have access to a device or computer, how do you prove your health history or insurance? Or vote, or collect assistance? I've had times where I didn't have a smart phone or computer. Is it a cash free culture as some other have said? Disabled or elderly people, how do they cope?
Each person has a unique personal code that consists of 11 numbers. They are easy to remember because there is a easy system to how they're made up. To prove who they are, they need the code (id card would be ideal but the code will do the trick most of the time) Also insurance? If you mean medical insurance then everyone expect unregistered unemployed have medical insurance provided by the government (that means everyone who pays social tax or for whom social tax is paid for, are covered by haigekassa) and the personal code is enough for doctors to see your medical history.
"We have to become transparent". Yep. That's basically the only problem in the brave new world. Hope it'll go well for you, Estonia. Sure grateful that here it's different. I'd rather deal witb government offices, inefficient amd annoying though they might be. A stong digital identity? A strong digital signature? Good grief. Yeah sure, nobody could EVER hack that. It's from the GOVERNMENT, right? And if you have smart cryptographers setting it up it's crime proof, right? And you could report any misuse, right? And the government, which we know, never ever gets corrupt, especially in a DEMOCRACY, will take care of it, right? Here we call that "living in a bubble". But, heck, they already do it fo almost 2 whole decades, hey, that's historically like an eon, it has basically proven itself. Definitely export it to the whole world. Heck,everybody should become a transparent citizen. Such an easy life... And no, i'm no technophobe. Not trolling or hating. Just honestly concerned. And amazed at how naive people have become so short after a blood soaked century of totalitarianism. Hope there will be a way out again after humanity has built a digital cage for itself.
Please can you do the talk here in India, the fools ruling our country need some sense stuffed into their heads. In all we have 3 national paper identities till now, and there is a 4th being proposed

Tyranny will always be more efficient than democracy. Europeans can experiment with all this crazy stuff because they know the USA will save them if a dictator takes over their "utopia".
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Do you mean the US government who via American banks have funded the European far right parties to stabilise Europe? As for proofs several of these parties ( in France and Italy) have admitted it. Russian banks have helped as well. NATO is mainly funded by US fundings but look at how it's split. US gov govern NATO (fair enough) with European fundings paying mainly for administrative and structural costs but US fundings pay mainly for buying weapons and equipment. Those ones must be Americans. Technically, the US gov uses NATO to spend American taxpayer money to buy American weapons from American companies which in return funds government campaign and offer 'presents'. So the US fundings come back to the US but the European fundings do not go back to European companies. That's why trump decided not to leave in the end 😊👍🏼
@@chocomalk Yes. It is a digital ledger of records, secured by a system of trust, involving physics and/or logic. If this digital ledger can be altered by a central authority, it destroys the entire purpose of having a digital ledger of trust in the first place. If one places their trust in a central authority, it is not necessary to have a blockchain that secures trust. A central server is far more efficient than a blockchain, but efficiency is not what blockchain technology was created for.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 A server can be hacked a blockchain has a ledger and is decentralized and cannot be altered without it being noticed, that is the difference, it is a ledger.
This isn't China. No tracking of activities/locations/behavior/financial prudence etc. Also any information request is a) limited to fields what the clerk/doctor/police needs for his work and b) is logged and visible to the citizen, who can then request a clarification regarding it. In what other country would you know that someone isn't shuffling through your data as we speak, among many duplicated and untracked forms of data recording?
and what happens when an EMP or solar flare shuts down the power and fries the system? You're basically back to zero. Hey, I love the idea of no bureaucrats but paper records have value. You'd also need to regulate the internet as a public utility; maybe easy to do in a country like Estonia, but here in Canada, it would be a logistical nightmare.
Truth. This is what happen to Malaysia Chinese Pop. We have nothing. The govt that look right but we were not part of it. Our 40% rights were rob by race Malays that selfishly took 100%.
Is your country more digital than South Korea? Well I just did my VAT report for my business at my computer in 20 minutes accounting over 2500 transactions to be reported.
BlockChain technology allows non-governmental organizations to manage trustworthy data. You may want to dig deeper in this. Start searching here for instance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain
Phil Peko I know blockchain tech, but what good is it if it is centralized? No goverment will allow blockchain technology in the way it was conceived. They like to be in control. It needs to be completely decentralized and in the hands of the people. This is an extremely unlikely scenario. The best way is to refuse to give your data as much as possible until better laws are made.
aceyage Decentralization would basically just return everything to the status quo, or even worse. Entire great empires had fallen due to decentralization. Why is it bad? Because if you thought corruption is bad at the national level, wait till you see it on a more local level.
Alexander Christopher Switzerland is a great example of how it can work. Which empires have fallen again due to decentralization? There are way more people at guard than with a centralized goverment and the responsibility is on a local level and doesn't affect the whole country. Decentralization in blockchain means a totally different thing, though. Blockchains, if done right are basically immutable, heavily encrypted and ideally private ledgers. Very similar to databases, just a lot less prone to attacks and manipulation.

When the unique abilities os humans are needed, a careful structure should be put in place to counteract the negative aspects of human judgment. A lot of progress has been made in this direction in psychology and behavioral economics, and these ideas should be used when we structure the decision-making processes. Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler
have been talking about these things.
*Things that have actually happened in my life*
Dad, trying to get his blood test results online: What do you mean I don't have permission IT'S MY BLOOD!??!
Me: gets 100% on physics test, grade uploaded at 10am
Text from mom 5 min later: I saw your test grade! I'm so proud of you 😊
Dad: why did this random government worker look at my birthdate?
Me: walks into new doctors office
Doctor: can you wait like 5 minutes, the system has crashed, i don't even know your age
I kind of like what I am hearing about taxes being simplified and free to file. And hope the next step is not filing at all because the government already has all the data, so why they just send me an annual report?
So you can look it over and make changes if needed, like selling a house.
OMG the opposite of Italy.
In Italy you can avoid paying taxes at all. The more you owe to Italy the more it respects you. By not paying your taxes you gain power, what's better than that?
Is it open source?
My other concern would be, for those who are living on the street, ir other wise homeless, how does this affect basic survival? If one doesnt have access to a device or computer, how do you prove your health history or insurance? Or vote, or collect assistance? I've had times where I didn't have a smart phone or computer.
Is it a cash free culture as some other have said? Disabled or elderly people, how do they cope?
Each person has a unique personal code that consists of 11 numbers. They are easy to remember because there is a easy system to how they're made up. To prove who they are, they need the code (id card would be ideal but the code will do the trick most of the time)
Also insurance? If you mean medical insurance then everyone expect unregistered unemployed have medical insurance provided by the government (that means everyone who pays social tax or for whom social tax is paid for, are covered by haigekassa) and the personal code is enough for doctors to see your medical history.

'For your own good'
If you know how to use technology then you have every single freedom with it.
"We have to become transparent".
Yep.
That's basically the only problem in the brave new world. Hope it'll go well for you, Estonia. Sure grateful that here it's different.
I'd rather deal witb government offices, inefficient amd annoying though they might be.
A stong digital identity?
A strong digital signature?
Good grief.
Yeah sure, nobody could EVER hack that. It's from the GOVERNMENT, right? And if you have smart cryptographers setting it up it's crime proof, right?
And you could report any misuse, right?
And the government, which we know, never ever gets corrupt, especially in a DEMOCRACY, will take care of it, right?
Here we call that "living in a bubble".
But, heck, they already do it fo almost 2 whole decades, hey, that's historically like an eon, it has basically proven itself.
Definitely export it to the whole world.
Heck,everybody should become a transparent citizen.
Such an easy life...
And no, i'm no technophobe. Not trolling or hating.
Just honestly concerned. And amazed at how naive people have become so short after a blood soaked century of totalitarianism.
Hope there will be a way out again after humanity has built a digital cage for itself.
Please can you do the talk here in India, the fools ruling our country need some sense stuffed into their heads.
In all we have 3 national paper identities till now, and there is a 4th being proposed
Estonians in public: hey look at this cool thing we did!
Estonians in private: I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX TO VOTE THIS IS A NIGHTMARE
Issssssand... räägi, kui jube sul oli?
Just one word: "Admire"
this efficiency is admirable but should not be applied to empower the state but in the contrary to deconstruct it
so to let free market give all services and abolish taxes and the inevitable human government corruption
and an another important point is privacy!
in their model is only partial privacy,
this will give total power to the future inevitable dictator
Thanks
Data embassy is a great idea!
Estonia has a population of only 1.3 million in 2020. Must be why this works.
Ok may i apply for Estonian citizenship thru online?
Informative.
Awesome.like to see this in India too
Stop using streets as public toilets first, and then think about digital government.

And I am working on programmed halogramic humanoids that are operated from central database system and can serve people 24/7 which speaks all the languages in the world. After im done with it the people wont need anymore any burocracies any human service any waiting lines any corruption bribery elements any human contact policies relations etc. We are entering to a new era! :) Hi from Kyrgyzstan
Bravo !
left the union and joined the another one... she says that the system is user-centric but the organization's requirements are always at the top.
So no need for bitcoin?
A state can be free to approve a system that's intentionally insecure, though not on paper. For use as yet another figure in the power struggle against its people.
So-o... this is by no means a silver bullet of citizen trust.
I care more about what she has to say because she is pretty. I recognize the bias, but I don't try to fight it. Rather I recognize that people have this type of bias, and realize that one of my goals should be to be more pretty (or handsome in my case).
Not fight the bias? Why would you _choose_ to be vulnerable to deception?
12:26
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me like she didn't answer her own "last question". That's odd.
12:43 - She immediately starts talking about the e-Residency program. This is the answer.
Xion Eternum OMG, I misunderstood the question. I thought she was talking about people being able to access someone else's profile.
Kinda embarrassing tbh
Steve Irvin said "Dainger, dainger, danger" - see he did not know the real danger.
Did anyone else think her voice sounded like a digitally generated voice?
It looks like it does, what did you think?
They're trying to get rid of cash, guys.
what r cash guys?
@@alexanderledbetter1723 a comma was really needed there haha
Use bitcoin!
Be wary of trading freedom for convenience.
True but here it's more convenient, secure, transparent and offering more freedom than our system.
Tyranny will always be more efficient than democracy.
Europeans can experiment with all this crazy stuff because they know the USA will save them if a dictator takes over their "utopia".
@@dialecticalmonist3405 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
If you know how to use technology then you have every single freedom with it.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Do you mean the US government who via American banks have funded the European far right parties to stabilise Europe? As for proofs several of these parties ( in France and Italy) have admitted it. Russian banks have helped as well.
NATO is mainly funded by US fundings but look at how it's split. US gov govern NATO (fair enough) with European fundings paying mainly for administrative and structural costs but US fundings pay mainly for buying weapons and equipment. Those ones must be Americans. Technically, the US gov uses NATO to spend American taxpayer money to buy American weapons from American companies which in return funds government campaign and offer 'presents'. So the US fundings come back to the US but the European fundings do not go back to European companies. That's why trump decided not to leave in the end 😊👍🏼
Love u anna
My lucid dream for 2021
Looks like Estonia will become the capital of Metaverse.
Can I get a tldr?
Haha they use blockchain, brilliant. Such a wonderful thing. This is the best talk ever.
A blockchain is meaningless if it can be altered.
It is far less efficient than a central server.
@YoshiPeach Mario what?
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Do you even know what a blockchain is?
@@chocomalk
Yes.
It is a digital ledger of records, secured by a system of trust, involving physics and/or logic.
If this digital ledger can be altered by a central authority, it destroys the entire purpose of having a digital ledger of trust in the first place.
If one places their trust in a central authority, it is not necessary to have a blockchain that secures trust.
A central server is far more efficient than a blockchain, but efficiency is not what blockchain technology was created for.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 A server can be hacked a blockchain has a ledger and is decentralized and cannot be altered without it being noticed, that is the difference, it is a ledger.
Sounds like a great way to track my behaviour and use that information to influence who I vote for. Thank you, I hate it.
This isn't China. No tracking of activities/locations/behavior/financial prudence etc. Also any information request is a) limited to fields what the clerk/doctor/police needs for his work and b) is logged and visible to the citizen, who can then request a clarification regarding it.
In what other country would you know that someone isn't shuffling through your data as we speak, among many duplicated and untracked forms of data recording?
and what happens when an EMP or solar flare shuts down the power and fries the system? You're basically back to zero. Hey, I love the idea of no bureaucrats but paper records have value. You'd also need to regulate the internet as a public utility; maybe easy to do in a country like Estonia, but here in Canada, it would be a logistical nightmare.
if that would happen then everyone would be fucked, no matter if u have digital society or not.
Yes, that would fry any system/country. Even so, you watched the part of the digital embassy backups, right?
Germany is also a beauraucratic nightmare.
Don't fear the failure, fear the absence of progress.
Just wow.
Thank you 🙏 Madam, for Beautiful Mesg
This is some Metal Gear 4 stuff lol
The patriots🤣
why she sounds like google text to speech synthesiser.
Damn.
She mad cute
You mad inappropriate.
Truth. This is what happen to Malaysia Chinese Pop. We have nothing. The govt that look right but we were not part of it. Our 40% rights were rob by race Malays that selfishly took 100%.
She sounds like a 'text to speech' program. How appropriate.
Is your country more digital than South Korea? Well I just did my VAT report for my business at my computer in 20 minutes accounting over 2500 transactions to be reported.
I needed 3 minutes this year and 4 days for the return money to arrive in Estonia
20 min? What is it? Year 2003?
FINALLY
Nice
What if the goverment, all of a sudden, isn't on your side any longer?
BlockChain technology allows non-governmental organizations to manage trustworthy data. You may want to dig deeper in this. Start searching here for instance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain
Phil Peko I know blockchain tech, but what good is it if it is centralized? No goverment will allow blockchain technology in the way it was conceived. They like to be in control. It needs to be completely decentralized and in the hands of the people. This is an extremely unlikely scenario. The best way is to refuse to give your data as much as possible until better laws are made.
aceyage Decentralization would basically just return everything to the status quo, or even worse. Entire great empires had fallen due to decentralization.
Why is it bad? Because if you thought corruption is bad at the national level, wait till you see it on a more local level.
Alexander Christopher Switzerland is a great example of how it can work. Which empires have fallen again due to decentralization? There are way more people at guard than with a centralized goverment and the responsibility is on a local level and doesn't affect the whole country.
Decentralization in blockchain means a totally different thing, though. Blockchains, if done right are basically immutable, heavily encrypted and ideally private ledgers. Very similar to databases, just a lot less prone to attacks and manipulation.
She's absolutely beautiful
Feels scary.
