#sevenstarcfi ⬅️World announces 10 million verified users on World Network📲
Although World has reached an important milestone, regulatory headwinds across jurisdictions continue to pose a challenge to the project.
World, formerly known as Worldcoin, recently announced a significant milestone in verifying the identities of 10 million people on its digital identity network.
Worldcoin uses a network of spheres to collect biometric data to prove a person’s identity — the identifiers that verify that a person is a human and who that person is.
The company says proving a person’s identity is necessary due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, which threatens the reliability of information and intellectual property rights. In a blog post on January 9, the World team wrote:
“As AI agents evolve, human proof is likely to provide the building block for ethical and scalable AI, ensuring that humans remain empowered creators in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.”
Digital identification remains a controversial topic, with critics claiming that digital identification schemes threaten privacy and could be abused by authoritarian governments.
