About Matthew Papish

I build infrastructure for identity protection, consent, and compensation in the age of AI.I am Founder and CEO of Human Digital Registry, the first Digital Human Asset Bank and Rights Platform. HDR secures, enforces, and compensates name, image, voice, and likeness data (NIL+V). We are building the system of record for authorized human identity. Backed by Amazon and Rackspace, HDR is used by individuals and organizations that need control over how their identity is stored, licensed, and paid.My background sits at the intersection of technology, media, and governance. I held senior roles at Samsung and AOL and served as Executive Producer on more than 1,500 hours of television and film. At Samsung, I led strategic partnerships across VR, XR, AI, and emerging platforms. At AOL, I built large-scale digital programming and major entertainment alliances.My focus now is singular. Establish the global infrastructure layer for digital human rights. I work with policymakers, unions, technology leaders, brands, and rights holders to define enforceable standards for ownership, consent, protection, and compensation as AI reshapes how identity is created and used.The principle is simple.Every person owns their digital self.And they should be paid when others use it.#OwnYourIdentity #DigitalHumanRights #HDR#MattPapish #DigitalHumans #DigitalIdentity #AIConsent#GenerativeAI #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #AIForGood#AWS #Rackspace
