The Startup ‘Tools For Humanity’(TFH), Co-founded By Sam Altman, Who Created Generative AI ChatGPT, Will Enter The UK Market Through The Identification Project ‘World’. Starting In London On The 12th, This Project Utilizes A Sphere-shaped Iris Scanner ‘Orb’ To Scan An Individual’s Iris, And Based On This, Issues A Digital Identity Card ‘World ID’. The World ID Can Be Used For Logging Into Various Apps Such As Minecraft, Reddit, Discord, And TFH’s Cryptocurrency ‘Worldcoin’ Is Also Issued To Users Who Agree To The Verification.

TFH Plans To Install The Orb In Shopping Malls And Busy Areas Of London, And Expand To Areas Such As Manchester In The Future. TFH’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Adrian Ludwig Said, “With The Advancement Of AI, Risks Such As Financial Fraud And Online Game Fraud Are Increasing, And Demand Is Surging From Both Companies And Governments,” Adding That “The Goal Is To Increase The Number Of Verified Users By More Than Tenfold In A Few Months.”

Currently, World ID Issuance Is Already Being Carried Out In Six Cities In The United States, Including Austin And San Francisco, With More Than 13 Million People Worldwide, Including Korea, Having Verified Their Identity Through The Orb.

However, TFH Is Under Investigation By Regulatory Authorities In Germany, Argentina, Etc., Regarding Personal Information Collection And Biometric Data Storage, And The Service Is Completely Banned In Spain And Hong Kong. The Company Claims That Biometric Data Is Not Stored And Verification Information Is Only Kept On The Individual’s Mobile Phone, But Concerns About Information Leakage Are Still Being Raised. It Is As If The Identity Verification System In The AI Era Is Facing A Test.
