Startup Kibu has raised $10.5 million in seed funding to develop identity verification tools designed to combat AI-driven scams and deepfakes. The company's revamped app aims to provide a way for users to establish trusted connections in an increasingly precarious digital landscape.

Sam Altman's World project (formerly Worldcoin) is expanding its human verification technology to platforms like Tinder and ticketing systems. The project uses zero-knowledge proofs and iris scanning to distinguish real humans from AI-generated content and bots.

Tinder is implementing a new verification process using World's identity-verifying orbs to help users prove they are real people. Users who complete this verification will receive five free boosts in the app.

World, a project co-founded by Sam Altman, is expanding its biometric iris-scanning verification to Tinder users globally. The initiative aims to distinguish real humans from AI agents in an increasingly automated digital landscape.
