Malaysia enters into agreement with Worldcoin.Digital proof of humanness through iris scans made available.Malaysian national blockchain may bridge to World Chain.MIMOS Berhad, the applied research and development arm of the Malaysian government, has entered into an agreement with the $WLD Worldcoin Foundation, Tools for Humanity, and MyEG to integrate Worldcoin technology into the countryâs digital infrastructure.The intent is to leverage the Worldcoin protocol and TFH technologies in improving digital credentials in Malaysia and validating the importance of digital proof of humanness amid an era of artificial intelligence, according to a post on the Worldcoin website.New Worldcoin operations in Malaysia will give people access to individual humanness verification, using state-of-the-art iris imaging technology developed by TFH for the Worldcoin project. Other potential collaborations include bridging World Chain to Malaysiaâs national blockchain infrastructure.Worldcoinâs ambitions are clear: to build a global system to separate actual human beings from artificial intelligence-driven programmes, chatbots, and other machine-generated online users, DL News has reported.
How does this work? A device called the orb, which is about the size of a basketball, scans the iris of your eyeball. Similar to a fingerprint, the iris possesses unique traits.
After the scan, Worldcoin provides a World ID in their app to serve as a kind of digital passport establishing your humanness. The idea is that this ID will be in high demand as commercial and government institutions increasingly require proof of personhood in an era teeming with artificial entities on the internet.
