Announced in March, Worldcoin’s World ID protocol will allow app developers to leverage its network of biometrically-authenticated humans. “Everything that has happened with AI in the last six months has made people understand the project a lot better,” said Tiago Sada, the head of product at Tools for Humanity.
What is World ID & World app?
Sada explained that the idea behind the World ID and World App is to distinguish between humans and AI, an important task when launching a digital universal basic income, and prevent scammers from gaming the system. "World ID is essentially a digital passport," Sada told Decrypt.
Is worldcoin a bot?
Worldcoin has attracted controversy with its use of a biometric imaging device called the Orb, which verifies a person is a unique person and not a bot.
