Zoom and big financial firms add ‘Proof of Human’ badges from Sam Altman’s World to stop fraud and deep fakes
It’s one of the most urgent problems of the AI age: How to tell if the person you’re chatting with on the Internet is real, or a clever bot pretending to be human.
AI Summary
Zoom and several major financial firms are beginning to use World’s “proof of humanity” badge, a verification tool that employs an orb device to scan users’ irises and confirm they are real people. The move aims to combat the rise of AI‑driven fraud, including deep‑fake impersonations of corporate executives that have led to costly wire‑transfer scams. World markets the badge as part of its broader World ID suite, positioning it as a defense against malicious bots in video‑conferencing and financial transactions.
