World Technology: Changing the World with Biometric Verification

world-technology-changing-the-world-with-biometric-verification

As of December 04, 2025, the World's iris-scanning technology is verifying millions, creating a bot-free digital landscape. But how is this innovation transforming our world?

World, formerly Worldcoin, is a privacy-focused digital identity network using biometric verification to prove humanity in an AI-driven era. Co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, it combines World ID with blockchain for secure, anonymous identities. At BigWorld, we see this as a key to a fraud-resistant future, using AI to enhance RWA security and blockchain for transparent human interactions. This blog explores World's technology, its global impacts, and opportunities for real humans over bots. Let's dive in! (Time, 2025; World Whitepaper, 2025)

1. The Technology Explained

World's core innovation is the "Orb," a futuristic device that scans irises to generate a unique IrisCode—a 12,800-digit binary number proving humanity without storing raw images. Launched in 2023, it's expanded to 46 countries, aiming to verify every person on Earth by 2030 (Time, 2025).

Key components include:

  • World ID: Biometric proof using zero-knowledge proofs for privacy—verify uniqueness without revealing personal data.
  • World App: A wallet integrating IDs with payments and dApps, now hitting 500M transactions (X, 2025).
  • APMC Initiative: Anonymized multi-party computation for quantum-secure infrastructure, launched in 2025 to protect against advanced threats (Coinspeaker, 2025).

This tech addresses AI's "identity problem," distinguishing real humans from bots in online spaces (Ateneo de Manila University, 2025).

2. How It's Changing the World

World's technology is reshaping society by enabling verified, human-first interactions:

  • Digital Identity for All: With 1 billion unbanked, World's IDs provide access to financial services, aligning with UN 2025 goals. It reduces identity fraud, empowering real humans in Web3 (Coincub, 2025).
  • Combating AI Fraud: Bots manipulate markets and social media; World's proof-of-humanity prevents this, integrating with DeFi and NFTs for verified users (Firstmovers.ai, 2025).
  • Economic Empowerment: Grants and tools redistribute AI wealth, supporting universal basic income pilots for verified humans (YouTube, 2025).
  • Privacy in an AI Era: Quantum-secure features like APMC prevent data leaks, a leap from scandals like Cambridge Analytica (Gate.com, 2025).

With partnerships like GSA-OpenAI's “OneGov” initiative, it's scaling government AI adoption securely (Coinspeaker, 2025).

3. Challenges and Criticisms

World's tech isn't without hurdles:

  • Regulatory Issues: Bans in some countries over privacy; legality is questioned globally (The Motley Fool, 2025).
  • Adoption Barriers: Privacy concerns and access limit rollout; critics like Snowden warn of misuse (Time, 2025).
  • Tech Limitations: Early issues with scalability and inclusivity persist, though 2025 updates like Orb Mini address them (Time, 2025).

BigWorld tackles these by focusing on compliant RWAs, using AI for privacy-preserving verification.

4. BigWorld's Role and Opportunities

At BigWorld, World's technology aligns with our mission for a bot-free Web3. We imply synergies by integrating AI to analyze verified data for RWA opportunities, ensuring tokenized real estate or gold is owned by real humans, not bots. Blockchain complements iris-scanning for fraud-proof ownership.

This creates opportunities: World's expansion opens doors for human-centric RWAs, reducing scams ($12 billion in 2025) and fostering trust. AI-driven insights predict adoption trends, guiding users to secure investments. As World verifies millions, BigWorld positions itself to build inclusive economies where real humans thrive, minimizing bots and fraud for a better world.

5. Conclusion: A Verified World Awaits

World's technology is changing the world by proving humanity amid AI chaos, from secure identities to fraud prevention. For BigWorld, it's a chance to innovate with AI and blockchain for human-first RWAs. Ready for more? Check out our blog on Real-World Asset Tokenization: Pros and Cons to see the synergies.
