BlockBeats News, February 27 — According to The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI founder Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity (TFH) is collaborating with Gap, Visa, and Tinder to promote the World ID human verification product (a technology that distinguishes humans from robots).
At a Gap store in San Francisco, visitors can now obtain a World ID. The process involves installing their signature volleyball-sized “Orb” device to capture facial and eye images. Meanwhile, a planned Visa payment card will allow World ID holders to spend digital assets, including Worldcoin — a cryptocurrency rewarded to users upon registration in most markets. Additionally, the dating app Tinder is testing this identity system in Japan to verify that users are real and that their age matches their claims.
The company states that its Orb device converts personal facial and iris images into a series of anonymous numbers, which are stored on the user’s own device. Tools for Humanity itself does not retain this data. TFH Chief Business Officer Trevor Traina said the company aims to generate revenue by charging applications — whenever an app uses a user’s World ID to verify they are real, the company will charge a fee.
