The Sam Altman Identity Met
World
London – WorldThe Biometric Identity Project founded by Openai CEO Sam Altman is launched this week.
An enterprise that uses a spherical eye scan called orb to scan people’s eyes, will become available in London from Thursday and plans to deploy in a number of other large UK cities, including Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow.
The project aims to authenticate a person’s personality with his orb device and prevent falsification of abuse Artificial intelligence Systems similar to Deep fakes.
It works, scanning the face of a man and a rainbow shell, and then creating a unique code to make sure that man is a man, not a II.
Once someone has created their rainbow shell code, they are gifted by some WLD cryptocurrency and can use an anonymous ID called World ID to log into different applications. Currently working with similar to Minecraft, Reddit and Discord.
From “scientific project” to reality
Adrian Ludwig, Chief Architect for Humanity, who is the main participant in the world, told CNBC at the call that the project perceives considerable demand from both the users of enterprises and the governments as a threat to AI to deceive various services – from banking to Internet games.
“The idea is no longer just what’s theoretically. This is what really affects them every day,” he said, adding that the world goes “from a scientific project to a real network.”
Recently, the company opened a store in the US with six flagship retailers, including Austin, Atlanta, Los -Angeles, Nashville, Miami and San Francisco. Ludwig said that, looking forward, the plan is to “increase the number of people who can be checked for an order over the next few months.”
Since then Initial launch as “Worldcoin” in 2021Altman’s world was caused by concern about how this could affect the privacy of users. The startup states that it solves these problems by sewing biometric data and providing deleted original data.
In addition, the world checking system also depends on the decentralized network of user smartphones, not on the cloud for individual identity checks.
However, it becomes more difficult on a network with billions of users such as Facebook or Tiktok, for example. So far, there are 13 million proven users in the world and plans to scale it.
Ludwig claims that the world is scaled because all the calculations and storage are treated topically on the user’s device is only the infrastructure to confirm anyone’s uniqueness that deals with the suppliers of other manufacturers.
Digital ID schemes
Ludwig says that the method of technology development means that for new AI systems, it is much easier to bypass authentication methods such as personality recognition and Bot Captcha prevention measures.
He sees how the world serves the need for transition from physical to digital identity systems. Governments study digital ID schemes to get away from physical cards.
However, these attempts have not yet been perfect.
One example of the basic digital identity system is Aadhaar India. Although the initiative saw Wide acceptanceIt was also the goal of criticism Lax safety and allegedly deteriorating social inequality For the Indians.
“We start seeing governments that are now more interested in how we can use this as a mechanism to improve our identity infrastructure,” Ludwig CNBC said. “Mechanisms for detecting and reducing fraud are of interest to governments.”
The technologist added that the world is talking to different regulators about its decision to check your personality – including at the office of the Commissioner Commissioner, which controls data protection in the UK
“We had a lot of conversations with the regulators,” Ludwig CNBC said. “In general, there were many questions: how can we make sure it works? How can we protect privacy? If we do it, or is it risks to us?”
“All these questions we were able to answer,” he added. “It took a long time as we had a question, we have no answer.”
