Worldcoin Expands Orb Verifications to Guatemala, Adds Face Auth Tech
Worldcoin, a project aiming to create a biometric proof of personhood, has announced a new expansion and the launch of a novel authentication technology as part of its World ID application. On Wednesday, the organization unveiled the launch of orb verifications — opportunities for iris scanning — in three new countries: Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia, at what it described as a “crucial time” for artificial intelligence (AI).
According to Worldcoin, this expansion follows several polls that highlighted concerns regarding the need for tools to identify humans from machines in online environments. For instance, a survey conducted by Ipsos in Guatemala, one of the nations where Worldcoin recently opened verifications, revealed that over 80% of respondents are worried about the origin and authorship of online content.
Similarly, 84% expressed concern regarding the advanced capabilities of current AI models, which could make it increasingly difficult to distinguish bots from humans. Notably, nearly nine out of every ten Guatemalans surveyed support the implementation of new technologies to verify humanness online.
In light of these findings, Worldcoin has introduced Face Auth, a new addition to its World ID suite that allows other applications to verify whether the individual using the ID is the same person who was verified at a Worldcoin center using the orb, an iris-scanning device.
This process reportedly utilizes only information stored on the user's phone, preserving user data privacy and preventing potential fraud in the event of device theft. Recently, the organization also unveiled its “Private by Design” whitepaper, outlining its four main pillars of privacy.
In South Korea, Worldcoin was penalized for violating data privacy laws, incurring a fine of over $800,000 for its transgressions.
