SUMMARY:LFDT Phoenix: From Identity-First to Authority Continuity
DESCRIPTION:We built security around identity\, tokens\, and roles. It was never quite right\, capability theorists knew this decades ago. AI agents just made the cracks impossible to ignore. \nThis is the moment to correct the model. \nWe will reason from first principles. What identity is. What an identifier is. What authority actually is\, not a token you hold\, but a continuous property of execution that can only shrink\, never expand. Why confused deputy and privilege escalation are not edge cases. They are the structural outcome of building on possession. \nWe will work through the real delegation cases that break every IAM system built today\, defined by Alan Karp\, who has spent decades mapping them. Delegation and attenuation. Chained delegation across organizations. Revocation\, including the hard case where you need to revoke someone you never delegated to directly. The confused deputy\, known since 1988\, still appearing in every generation of systems. Seven aspects of sharing that people rely on in the real world and that no identity-based\, role-based\, or attribute-based system handles correctly. The use cases are here: alanhkarp.com/UseCases.pdf \nWe will then explore how authority continuity changes everything. Moving from identity-first to an intent and execution model means authority is anchored at the origin\, flows through a verifiable chain\, and cannot be expanded\, stolen\, or reinterpreted at any hop. \nAI agents are the opportunity we did not expect. Authority continuity is the correction we always needed.

SUMMARY:LFDT Phoenix: Open Standards for Tokenization - Why Interoperability Matters
DESCRIPTION:Institutional adoption of tokenized assets hinges on solving a critical infrastructure problem: how do digital securities operate across multiple platforms\, jurisdictions\, and compliance regimes without recreating the vendor lock-in that plagues legacy systems? \nLinux Foundation Decentralized Trust and OpenAssets are establishing this foundational layer through the Open Tokenized Asset Standard (OTAS)—a recently approved lab building protocol-agnostic standards for compliant\, interoperable digital assets. \nSurendra Kalidindi\, CTO of OpenAssets will explore why open standards matter for institutional digital assets\, how OTAS differs from proprietary tokenization platforms\, and what the newly launched OTAS Lab will deliver to the ecosystem. Discover opportunities for developers and institutions to contribute through the OTAS Lab and LF Decentralized Trust’s mentorship program. \nPlease note: This event is being shared with our entire global community. If you’re interested in this content but can’t attend the event live\, feel free to sign up and we will send you a link to the recording after the meetup is over. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\nSurendra Kalidindi\n\nSurendra Kalidindi\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/skalidindi/ \nSurendra Kalidindi serves as Chief Technology Officer at OpenAssets and sits on the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust Technical Advisory Committee. He leads development of open infrastructure for institutional digital assets and oversees OpenAssets’ contribution of the Open Tokenized Asset Standard (OTAS).

SUMMARY:Arizona AI & Emerging Technology: Behavioral AI - What AI Reveals When It Enters Real Work
DESCRIPTION:This month\, our focus is on Behavioral AI. \nPRESENTATION OVERVIEW \nBehavioral AI: What AI Reveals When It Enters Real Work\nAs AI moves from experimentation into everyday operations\, its biggest impact often isn’t technical—it’s behavioral. In this session\, David Dean explores what becomes visible when intelligent systems enter real organizational workflows: how judgment shifts\, how responsibility blurs\, how risk gets distributed\, and how accountability quietly changes hands. \nThis meetup is designed as a short\, focused talk followed by a live reading + interview-style discussion drawn from David’s new independent book\, An Inbox Between Us. Rather than an “AI tools” or “adoption strategy” session\, this conversation names patterns many teams feel but rarely have language for—coordination breakdowns\, unclear ownership\, invisible decision policies\, and the subtle ways automation reshapes trust and governance. \nSpeaker:\nDavid Dean \nEvent Details: \n\nLocation: 1951@Skysong @ Scottsdale\, AZ\nTime: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM – talk will begin at 6:00pm (we get kicked out promptly at 7:30pm)\nFree Parking: Easily available (free)\nFood: Simple Pizza and Water
