"Ever wonder if you're talking to a real person online or just another bot? As bots increasingly outnumber humans online, leading to an explosion of deepfakes and AI-driven fraud, one company has a solution straight out of sci-fi: scanning your iris to verify your identity. Today on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan spoke with Adrian Ludwig, Chief Security Officer and Chief Architect at Tools for Humanity,"
"the company behind World's eye-scanning Orbs appearing around the globe. Bellan and Ludwig discuss building privacy-first identity verification, the open-source approach to biometric tech, and why proving humanity matters now more than ever."
Bots are increasingly outnumbering humans online, driving a rise in deepfakes and AI-driven fraud that undermines trust and security. Tools for Humanity deploys eye-scanning Orbs worldwide that scan the iris to verify human identity. The company emphasizes privacy-first identity verification and uses open-source approaches to biometric technology. The process aims to prove humanity reliably while minimizing exposure of personal data. Iris-based verification provides a machine-resistant signal to reduce automated abuse, election interference, and large-scale fraud across digital platforms.
