Zoom adds ‘proof of human’ badges to show you’re not a deepfake
Summary
World has globally launched World ID for Zoom through the Zoom Marketplace for enterprise customers. The system compares an image from its iris-scanning Orb with a live selfie and video feed, then displays a Human Badge to meeting participants. First announced in April and tested with VanEck Funds, the feature follows deepfake scams, including a $25 million loss at engineering firm Arup and fake Zoom meetings used to target crypto and fintech firms. Bain Capital and Pantera Capital are among design partners for World’s broader identity-verification technology.
