This is Worldcoin: Humanness in the age of AI

Worldcoin is building the world's largest human network to improve trust online and access to the global economy.

Alex Blania, project co-founder and CEO of Tools for Humanity (TFH), a contributor to the Worldcoin project, discusses why Worldcoin is so important in the age of AI and where the project is headed.

Along with Alex, Tiago Sada and Sandro Herbig from TFH discuss core elements of the Worldcoin protocol, including privacy, proof of personhood and the orb.

Today, Worldcoin is made up of multiple contributors and a growing community of millions of unique humans across five continents. The people and organizations supporting Worldcoin are developing the tools that work together to help it achieve its mission. These include:

World ID - a privacy-preserving digital identity designed to help solve many important, identity-based challenges including proving an individual’s unique personhood

World App - a fully self custodial app that enables payment, purchases and transfers globally using the Worldcoin token, digital assets, stablecoins and traditional currencies

Worldcoin Token* - a token to be freely distributed to people, for both utility and future governance, just for being a unique individual

Importantly, Worldcoin—through World ID’s unique digital identity—can play an important role in demonstrating humanness in an online world populated with increasingly advanced artificial intelligence.

I think the most important thing, above all is proving to consumers that your product actually provides the security it claims to have. actually explain the security of your product. if it takes a whole 30min layman introduction so be it. extensively explaining and proving your product is legit 100% the most important thing to make this boom and actually work. this project is inherently inspiring but if it isnt as accessible as possible, it wont be what you want it to be. you need to break it down, provide evidence, and make it EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that this product is a net good for humanity

Proud to be part of a company of this caliber! I believe in you all and in the project you are carrying out! I want to come back to this comment in about two years and see that everything worked out and that it was all worth it! I've been with you since WLD was worth 2 dollars; today, on March 15, 2024, it's already worth 9 euros

Thanks for your efforts; we truly appreciate this project. Let's keep up the good work and strive to change the world while embracing uniqueness through ORB. However, there's a minor issue that some, including myself, have experienced. The problem is that the grants I received before Worldcoin launched have disappeared, amounting to 34 WLD, more than 200 days ago. We hope this issue will be resolved soon. Thank you once again.

I'm just hope this technology can solve the obsolete todays human economy system. I believe in future every human must be able to create, explore, learn, and teach without being worry or felt hungry, cold, unsheltered, oppressed...

Worldcoin enabled me to get involved with financial knowledge, crypto knowledge and the infrastructure for using it. All with zero investment from my side, which is incredible. Thank you for this opportunity #WLD!

Buenas tardes Soy Juan de argentina y quiero agradecer, felicitar a los creadores del proyecto Worldcoin, quiero confiar en él proyecto.
En la situación de mi país argentina, me sirve mucho los Word coin, sé que a muchas familias también. De mi parte voy a promover los vídeos institucionales y seguir leyendo para aprender. Se que la IA en pocos años va transformar la manera de vivir del mundo entero y hay que adaptar la economía al cambio mundial.

Proud to be part of the World coin protocol, but here in Uganda we need an orb as well.

As an enthusiast and volunteer promoter of the project, obviously taking advantage of the incentive of motivations, I would like to clarify some doubts.

The world ID is associated with the iris and the possession of the app, that is, in case of loss, loss, theft, if the device or a new one is not possessed, where the app can be downloaded again (as long as a backup copy has been made in Google Drive). ) the person could not provide proof of humanity?

On the other hand, the people who were deceived by giving them cash where they were provided with a cell phone to carry out the orb and then the cell phone (along with the aap, the rewards and their world ID) are held by other people. Question: Wouldn't this imply that there would be world IDs that are not in the possession of the scanned person that could be used as false proof of humanity?

The entire explanation of the video is excellent, I think that Tiago Sala excels in explaining the three layers of privacy.

Greetings from Argentina
For the growth of the WORD ID project

How is this called privacy if your investors and close allies of OpenAI are sharing and gathering people's data? This is just a headline from an article: "Microsoft, BlackRock to launch $100 billion AI partnership for data centers and power"

[HellenChristine-bw]

Great staff. Do you see world coin competing with bitcoin someday?

[jagan]

Why is the next grant date not showing???

[lamunujennifer]

Thank you so much. And I thank the person who told me about it was the last day our government came in and stopped everything. I'm so grateful I pray that you come back again so that those who are not yet being verified can as well get it verified.

You want us to live in a world where we have to prove ourselves as human. And if we fail in doing so, you can do with us whatever you please.
