World Network, the company formerly known as Worldcoin, has announced a plan to boost its humanities verification project globally: expanding World ID in collaboration with governments to create digital identities in an app. This is the way, they believe, that will allow them to determine in the future whether the user with whom they interact on the Internet is a human or an AI-based chatbot.

The key word is scale, a concept that will be repeated during the presentation of the new functions held this Thursday in San Francisco, where Clarín was present. With just a total of 6 million verified users around the world (more than a third of them from Argentina), the firm founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania is already thinking about how to operate when billions of users have joined the project.

That is why the heart of this new version is to integrate a series of functions into the World App, an application that each user will have on their phone and that will serve them for different Features mounted on the decentralized platform that World is building.

Among the ones announced at the conference is a virtual wallet that allows for instant global transactions of crypto assets. Also an App store for developers to create their games. Humanity verification, they say, will help prevent the use of Deep Fake tools in video conference scams, a type of crime that is beginning to grow timidly.

But perhaps one of the most innovative is the implementation of the so-called World ID as a collaboration with different governments to be able to load official identifications issued by the State into the World app. Among the countries that are in negotiations to move forward with this integration is Argentina, according to sources from the company confirmed to Clarín.

World and the Argentine government are in tune. Javier Milei held meetings with the company's CEO, Sam Altman, while the other founding partner, Alex Blania, was in the country a few months ago and yesterday praised the libertarian's management: "We feel comfortable talking to them," he said in response to a query from this newspaper.
