HAND (Human & Digital) brings simplicity and scale to talent identity in a human and digital world. As a B2B SaaS company, Identity Intelligence – our interoperable talent ID framework – enables reliable verification of quantifiably notable real (legal & natural) persons, their virtual counterparts, and fictional entities. As “Digital Replica” usage grows, trusted tools providing vectors of authenticity for talent’s unique NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) are essential. Authorized by the ISO-level DOI Foundation, HAND’s ID registry meets emerging needs for talent provenance automation in the digital age.
Find out why Sony Pictures Entertainment AFI (American Film Institute), Fabric, and Opus Data / The Numbers are adopting HAND’s Talent ID as their first choice for true standards-based, interoperable identification of notable legal, virtual, and fictional Talent.
