World scales human verification; first integration with Tinder
Tools for Humanity (TFH), the company behind Sam Altman’s World project, announced an expanded push to scale its human-verification technology across consumer and business services, beginning with an integration into Tinder. World — formerly Worldcoin — unveiled a new app version, broader Orb iris-scanner deployments in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and tiered verification options (Orb iris scan, NFC government ID scan, and a low-friction selfie check). New products include Concert Kit (compatible with Ticketmaster and Eventbrite) to block scalpers and features for businesses including Zoom and Docusign integrations. TFH also showcased agent-delegation tools and a beta Okta integration to verify agent actions on behalf of humans. The company emphasizes zero-knowledge proof-based authentication to produce anonymous “World ID” verified humans while aiming to increase ease and adoption.
Zoom partners with World to verify humans in meetings
Zoom announced a partnership with World, Sam Altman’s human ID verification company, to add real‑person verification to video meetings and reduce deepfake imposters. World’s World ID Deep Face system cross‑references a signed registration image captured via World’s Orb device, a real‑time device face scan and a live meeting video frame; when all three match a “Verified Human” badge appears. Hosts can enable a Deep Face waiting room or request mid‑call verification. The move follows high‑profile deepfake fraud losses — including a $25M incident at Arup in 2024 — and reflects broader adoption by World across consumer platforms like Tinder and Visa.
New Tool Confirms Humans Behind AI Shopping Agents
Tools for Humanity (TFH), the startup behind World co-founded by Sam Altman, has released a beta of AgentKit, a developer toolkit designed to verify that a real human is behind agentic commerce transactions. AgentKit links a user’s World ID — the verified identity derived most securely from an iris scan via World’s Orb device — to AI shopping agents and integrates with the blockchain-based x402 payment protocol developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare. Registered agents communicate via x402 v2 to signal that a distinct, verified human approves automated purchases. TFH says AgentKit is complementary to x402 and is being offered in beta to developers; consumers must hold a verified World ID (Orb scan) to use the feature. TFH CPO Tiago Sada likened the verification to delegating "power of attorney" to an agent.
