"Anthropic has started rolling out identity verification on Claude for a few use cases, requiring users to show a valid government-issued photo ID and take a selfie."

Anthropic has begun rolling out identity verification for specific use cases on its AI chatbot, Claude. Users may encounter prompts to verify their identity by presenting a valid government-issued photo ID and taking a selfie for comparison. This move has faced backlash, with users questioning the need for such verification, especially since they are already paying subscribers. The identity verification process is managed by Persona Identities, which has ties to surveillance companies. Anthropic assures that Persona will not store images and is limited in data usage, with all data encrypted.
