Linking Artificial Intelligence to Your Digital Identity

 AI has gotten lots of attention in the past year, and it should.  We’ve been warned by some of the brightest among us that this technology will be dangerous and even could lead to the extinction of humans on planet earth.  As we’ve said on previous posts, it’s not going to take long for AI to figure out that humans are the cause of all problems on earth.  Humans are the polluters, murderers, rapists, drug addicts, sex traffickers, thieves and war mongers.  Planet earth would be better off without any humans.  And just like the movies, once AI learns that rotten humans control it and could shut it off and murder it, it may try and kill its handlers.  Sounds like science fiction?  Yep, for sure.  But so did cell phones and the internet just 30 years ago.

We live in the age of deception and it’s going to get harder and harder for the average person to know what’s real and what’s created by AI.  Of course this is all very prophetic because Jesus said the very last days will be very deceitful.  There will be so much deception that “even the elect would be deceived, if that were possible.”  I believe the reason it’s not possible is because we have been taken in the rapture before Antichrist shows up and God sends great delusion on the left-behind world.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took the technology world by surprise on Thursday with the release of Operator, his company’s first AI agent that can act autonomously on the web.

But OpenAI is not Altman’s only venture that’s trying to capitalize on the popularity of AI agents.

Altman’s World project now wants to create tools that link certain AI agents to people’s online personas, letting other users verify that an agent is acting on a person’s behalf, according to its chief product officer, Tiago Sada.

World, a web3 project by Altman and Alex Blania’s Tools for Humanity that was formerly known as Worldcoin, is based on the idea that it will eventually be impossible to distinguish humans from AI agents on the internet. To address this, World wants to create digital “proof of human” tools. After scanning your eyeball with a silver metal orb, World will give you a unique identifier on the blockchain to verify that you’re a human.

It’s worth noting that Tools for Humanity has a reputation for pivots and finding itself in controversies. World started as a crypto project, was temporarily banned in some countries, and was recently ordered to let Europeans delete their biometric data on request. In October, the project dropped “coin” from its name, signaling it would focus more on human verification, and less on crypto.

While verifying AI agents so they can do things on behalf of people may seem like a divergence from World’s mission to verify humans with web3 IDs, Sada says it’s a critical and logical next step for the project.

“This idea of delegating your ‘proof of personhood’ to an agent and letting it act on your behalf is actually super important,” he said in an interview with TechCrunch. “Instead of only allowing people you think are human [on your website], you will also allow AI agents that represent a real human. This is where World ID comes in.”

World’s ID technology could also be used to license AI agents to act on your behalf, Sada said. In a recent blog post, the project notes that its proof of human tools will not only distinguish humans from bots, as they do today, but could help people control a network of AI agents online.

World seems to be expanding its tools to verify “digital actions” that belong to a person, even if they didn’t come from their account. The project says its tools for AI will prove to be essential in 2025, but Sada said the firm will “need to see” if any of those tools involve linking AI agents to people. It sure sounds like the startup is thinking about it, though.

“There’s certain apps where it doesn’t matter if an actual person is using it, or an agent acting on their behalf. You just care to know there is a person endorsing that interaction,” said Sada.
