Modern AI excels at generating predictions, patterns, and outputs — but it lacks something essential: genuine understanding. Digital Intelligence takes a different path. It centers identity, story, and meaning. But that requires a stable foundation: a universal identity system for digital and physical objects. That is exactly what the SIO Standard was designed to provide.

Digital Intelligence depends on:

• Knowing what an object is
• Understanding its history
• Tracking its evolution over time
• Recognizing its relationships
• Preserving its authenticity

SIO gives every object a unique, verifiable identity that can travel across systems, devices, and generations. It turns objects into participants — not just data points — in a connected digital world. This identity layer becomes the backbone of Digital Intelligence. It grounds context. It preserves provenance. It gives technology the ability to interpret meaning instead of simply processing information. In a world shifting from prediction to perception, SIO is the missing link.
