In today’s episode, we explore one potential solution: proof-of-personhood technology. Designed to verify human identity online while maintaining privacy, World ID, developed by Tools for Humanity, seeks to tackle these challenges with advanced cryptographic protections and decentralized verification. Join us as we chat with Tiago Sada, Chief Product Officer at Tools for Humanity, to dive into how World ID works, the role of decentralisation in digital identity security, and how these innovations might shape online interactions in Malaysia.
