Infrastructure that prioritizes privacy, trust, and security in the age of AI
World is building a network of verified unique humans in a global identity and financial network.
World’s engagement with policymakers and regulators is guided by a commitment to ensuring the project is open and transparent to the community and the public.
Proof of human for the age of AI
AI is making it harder to distinguish humans from bots online. World ID is an technology that allows individuals to certify online that they are a unique human 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.
Private by Design
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.
Responsible innovation
World collaborates with policymakers and industry leaders to share technology, practices, and research that preserves privacy in the age of AI.
Highlights:
Face Auth, a 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.
