World backed by Sam Altman teams with Tinder and Zoom
Technology
World (formerly Worldcoin), backed by Sam Altman, is joining forces with Tinder and Zoom to help tell humans apart from artificial intelligence bots.
Instead of old-school CAPTCHAs, they're rolling out better biometric checks that keep your privacy in mind.
There's also a new encrypted chat feature called World Chat in the app.
Orb iris scan creates World ID
The company's Orb device scans your iris to create a unique World ID, making it harder for deepfakes and bots to sneak through.
Tinder will use this tech beyond Japan after a World ID pilot program in Japan, while Zoom plans to use it to block fake faces in meetings.
You can also verify with selfies or government IDs, and features like Concert Kit make sure only real users snag event tickets.
