Cover Story: How can AI responsibly reason about digital identity without losing sight of the people, institutions, and values involved? This paper addresses this question through a pilot study of 226 completed survey responses from government, business, academia, and consumers. It reveals where stakeholders align—and where they diverge—on privacy, trust, usability, regulation, and responsibility in a universal digital identity ecosystem. The study then translates these findings into a layered conceptual structure and a lightweight context-layered RAG proof-of-concept, showing how stakeholder-aware knowledge organization can help ground AI outputs in ecosystem-specific roles, values, and governance expectations. View this paper
