Pellegrini's new law could reshape European digital identity access

Corning, a company with a rich history of 173 years in material sciences, has been navigating its digital transformation under the leadership of Soumya Seetharam, the Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) for the past two years. The company, which operates across various sectors including automotive and life sciences, has recognized the importance of adopting digital technologies to enhance operational efficiency and innovate more effectively. By managing technical debt, Seetharam's initiatives have improved infrastructure, enabling the company to introduce generative AI while safeguarding intellectual property. Seetharam has emphasized the importance of harnessing data to inform decision-making processes within Corning. Her vision involves elevating data management while implementing advancements in generative AI to facilitate better strategic choices across the company. With annual revenues surpassing $12 billion, Corning aims to continue innovating not only in technology but also in connectivity solutions and display technologies. Notably, the company has built a secure environment for its generative AI, called Corning GPT, ensuring proprietary company data remains safe. In parallel, recent legislative developments in Slovakia have focused on enhancing trusted services, including the introduction of provisions related to the European digital identity wallet. Signed into law by President Peter Pellegrini, this legislation aims to bolster electronic identification among individuals and businesses within the European Union. The changes establish a unified approach to digital identity, ensuring that qualified trust service providers can offer these services both in the public and private sectors, which fosters greater trust in digital transactions. The intersection of Corning's efforts in digital transformation and new regulatory frameworks like the European digital identity wallet reflects a broader trend towards increased emphasis on digital trust and innovation. By staying at the cutting edge of technology advancements while aligning with regulatory standards, both Corning and legislative bodies are working towards creating an environment that promotes security, trust, and efficiency in digital interactions. Looking ahead, companies like Corning, backed by strong digital strategies and innovations, are positioned to continue their legacy in material sciences while paving the way for a more secure digital future.
