Inside World ID: How "Proof of Human" Works [Live Event]
AI agents are rapidly changing the shape of the internet. What started as an effort to keep bots out is quickly becoming a much more complex challenge: distinguishing humans from machines, enabling safe automation, and doing all of it without forcing users to overshare their identity.Against this backdrop, “proof of human” is moving from a niche concept to a foundational requirement for many digital experiences.
To unpack what’s really happening, and what the identity ecosystem needs to do next, we hosted a conversation with Ajay Patel, Head of World ID at Tools for Humanity, and Kim Hamilton Duffy, CEO of a stealth startup and former Executive Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation.
The discussion explored the rising pressure created by AI-driven abuse, the risks of over-identification, the role biometrics can play when implemented carefully, and why interoperable, narrowly scoped credentials may be the path forward.
