Sam Altman's World ID upgrades fight deepfakes

Sam Altman's World project has launched a significant upgrade to its World ID system, aiming to provide a 'full-stack proof of human' infrastructure. This enhancement focuses on verifying real individuals across various applications and AI agents without compromising personal data. The update introduces new features, expands partnerships with companies like Tinder, Zoom, and Docusign, and includes tools specifically for AI agents. While still utilizing Orb biometric verification, which has faced some criticism, the system's redesigned architecture prioritizes improved privacy, security, and usability. The goal is to make proof-of-human identity as seamless as logging into social media, combating the rise of bots and deepfakes.
