đ Worldcoin Launches in Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia, Introducing Face Auth
đ Worldcoin has expanded its orb verifications to Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia amid a wave of concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence and the difficulty of identifying bots and humans online. The organization also introduced a new technology called Face Auth, which allows apps to verify whether the previously registered person is the one using World ID.
đȘ Worldcoin Expands to Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia with Face AuthWorldcoin, the biometric personality proof-based project, has announced a new expansion by launching a new authentication technology as part of its World ID app. On Wednesday, the project announced it had launched orb verifications â iris scanning opportunities â in three new countries: Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia, in what it called a âpivotal momentâ for artificial intelligence (AI).
The organization explained that this expansion comes at a time when a number of different surveys outlined concerns about having tools to discern humans from machines in online environments. According to a survey organized by Ipsos in Guatemala, one of the countries where Worldcoin recently opened verifications, more than 80% are concerned about the origin and authors of online content.
In this context, Worldcoin implemented Face Auth, a new addition to its World ID suite that allows other applications to verify whether the person using the ID is the same one verified at Worldcoin centers using the orb, an iris scanning device.
This process only uses information on the user's phone, preserving the privacy of the user's data and preventing possible fraud due to theft of the device.
