Gate News message, April 17 — World, the identity verification company co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, announced on Friday (April 16) new and expanded integrations with major platforms including Zoom, DocuSign, Tinder, Okta, Shopify and VanEck. The company upgraded its World ID protocol and open-sourced it to allow any app to integrate it as an authentication layer.
World ID operates on a three-tier verification system: selfie submission, government-issued ID verification, and in-person iris scanning at an “orb” location. Each company using World ID determines which verification level it requires. Zoom plans to use World ID to verify video call participants and prevent deepfake impersonation, while DocuSign is testing it to confirm that a real human — not a bot — is behind digital signatures. Okta and Vercel are collaborating with World on tools to verify that actual humans approved AI system actions. Tinder is expanding a Japan pilot to the U.S. for profile verification, VanEck is testing in-office orbs for employee verification, and World is launching a “Concert Kit” tool to help artists reserve tickets for verified humans and combat bot-driven ticket scalping.
According to the company, approximately 17.9 million people have registered for World ID globally, with roughly 1.1 million in North America. World plans to expand orb availability in San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles to bring most residents within 5-10 minutes of a location, and will introduce an “orb-on-demand” service in San Francisco following a pilot in Argentina.
