INTELLIGENCE REPORT:
THE HUMAN
API
CURRENT STATE: Data is fragmented across improved corporate silos. FUTURE STATE: A powerful concept that moves beyond scattered data silos to envision true Personal Data Sovereignty through a Unified Human API. This is not a far-future fantasy; the foundational ideas are being actively built and debated right now.

Acts as a single, normalized interface to all your data. Instead of accessing /facebook/posts, an app queries a universal endpoint.
GET /v1/person/health/sleep
The secure, encrypted physical or virtual location where your information resides. Key feature: Only you hold the decryption keys.
Replaces "Agree to All" privacy policies with dynamic, granular permission layers. You explicitly grant access to specific data fields with defined expiration dates.
Direct interface between the biological system and external technology. Invasive BCIs (Neuralink) and Non-invasive (EEG) are creating protocols to read brain signals and eventually write to them.
The body as a source of data liquidity. Aggregating fragmented health records into a single, standardized API controlled by the patient, driven by regulation (GDPR) and consumer demand.
The data access API is rapidly maturing, while the direct brain-to-machine API is in early experimental stages. The shift away from the fragmented social media data model is inevitable as Digital ID systems integrate with Personal Data Vaults.
