A network of tools that humans need for the age of AI

AI is making it harder to distinguish humans from bots online. World’s digital identity (World ID) is a novel internet identity that allows individuals to certify online that they are human and unique without revealing who they are. 

World ID offers a secure method to provide “proof of human” while letting people maintain control and privacy over their data.

World doesn’t need to know who you are, just that you are a unique human.

Every level of the World ID network is built with world-class security, data privacy and transparency standards. This includes decentralized World operations, open-sourced orb software, and user control over their data.

World operates with using a principle approach to privacy. The four interwoven Privacy Principles are:

• Security: Secured by math
• Anonymity: Move freely online
• Choice & Control: Your data, your rules
• Transparency: Built in the open

World collaborates with policymakers and industry leaders to share technology, practices and research that preserves privacy in the age of AI.

Highlights:

• Now piloting: Deep Face, a new security measure that offers a private 1:1 face comparison to ensure only the person who verified their World ID at an Orb can use it.
• Through Personal Custody, all images used to verify an individual's World ID are deleted by default.
• Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), including encryption and cryptographic mechanisms of AMPC and ZKPs, are in place to protect user data both in transit and at rest.
