Etherum co-founder Vitalik Baterin argues that the digital identification approach promoted by the world project of Altman, has realistic risks of privacy.
Previously known as WorldpoinThe world was created under the Altman and Alex Blania tool for humanity. The organization says it can Help differ between AI agents and human beings By scanning the eyeballs of the user and creating a unique identity for them to the block.
In long-lasting postBaterina noticed access to the world of use Evidence with zero knowledge To check human identity while protecting anonymity also explores different digital passport and digital id projects. And he admitted that “on the surface”, using “ZK-wrapped digital ID” could contribute to “Protecting our social media, voting and all types of internet services against manipulations from Sibila and bots, and all without compromising privacy.”
However, Baterin proposed that this approach continues to be reduced to “One per person” ID, which creates significant risks.
“In the real world, Pseudonimony generally requires more orders … so that the ID is also wounded, we risk approaching the world in which all your activity must be under unique public identity,” he wrote. “In the world of growing risk (eg drone), taking the option for people to protect via pseudonymia have significant shortcomings.”
As a concrete risk example, Baterina noticed that the American government began recently requiring student and visa scientists To set their social media to social media accounts, so they can show those accounts for “hostility”. Similarly, he suggested that even if there is no public link between different orders created under a unique digital ID, “the government could force someone to discover their secret, so they can see the whole activity.”
How, therefore, can governments, network services and anyone else hope to check if someone is a real human being without forcing to jeopardize their privacy? Baterina stands for access to emphasizing “pluralistic identity”, in which “there is no individual dominant authority for issuing, whether it is a person or institution or platform.”
Pluralist systems can be “explicit” (requesting users to confirm their identity based on testimonials but also verified users) or “implicit” (relying various personal systems) – in his opinion, they represent the “best real solution”.
“In my opinion, the ideal outcome of the identity projects” One per person “that is today is that they are merged with the identity of the social chart,” Baterin concluded.
