Millions of people worldwide are lining up to stare into a silver sphere about the size of a bowling ball so their irises can be scanned in exchange for online identity verification and \u201cfree\u201d cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

The silver spheres, known as \u201cOrbs\u201d, are part of the\u00a0Worldcoin platform<\/a>, which officially launched in July 2023 after an 18-month testing phase. Led by Sam Altman (chief executive of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT) and entrepreneur Alex Blania, Worldcoin offers users a \u201cdigital passport\u201d known as World ID and small allocations of a cryptocurrency token also called Worldcoin (WLD), \u201csimply for being human<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Worldcoin aims to provide a \u201cproof of personhood<\/a>\u201d to distinguish humans from artificial intelligence (AI) systems online.<\/p>\n

However, critics say the company is essentially bribing people to hand over highly sensitive biometric data. Governments are taking note: the Worldcoin platform has already been suspended in Kenya, and is under investigation in several other countries.<\/p>\n

Gaze into the Orb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Users can download the WorldApp on their mobile phone, then find their \u201cnearest Orb\u201d. The Orb uses iris scans to uniquely identify a person.<\/p>\n

Once the person has their iris scanned, they receive a World ID which will function as an online ID much like a Google or Facebook login. World ID is meant to be different because it can prove the user is human \u2013 and more private, because it does not link to other personal information about the user.<\/p>\n

Despite the \u201cdigital passport\u201d label, World ID is not intended to reveal or verify a user\u2019s identity in the conventional sense. It merely establishes the user as \u201ca unique and real person\u201d, rather than a bot.<\/p>\n

In most countries, the user is also entitled to units of WLD cryptocurrency once their iris scan is complete.<\/p>\n

The Worldcoin website currently lists\u00a060 Orb locations<\/a>\u00a0worldwide, particularly in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, and notes there will also be Orb \u201cpop-ups\u201d.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, there appear to be no Orb locations in Australia, so people in Australia cannot earn WLD tokens \u201cfor being human\u201d. But they can purchase the WLD cryptocurrency via certain cryptocurrency exchanges and download the World App, which also functions as a cryptocurrency wallet.<\/p>\n

Cash for eyeballs jeopardises human rights<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Altman is a key player in the AI boom that supposedly makes Worldcoin necessary, so critics have\u00a0suggested<\/a>\u00a0he is \u201csimply profiting from both AI\u2019s problem and solution\u201d.<\/p>\n

When the Worldcoin platform officially launched, after signing up some 2 million users in a testing phase, Altman said the Orbs were scanning a\u00a0new user every eight seconds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Kenya, the launch saw \u201ctens of thousands of individuals waiting in lines over a three-day period to secure a World ID\u201d, which Worldcoin attributed to\u00a0\u201coverwhelming\u201d demand<\/a>\u00a0for identity verification.<\/p>\n

Independent reporting suggests the promise of \u201cfree\u201d cryptocurrency was a more common motive. In most locations, Worldcoin offers a \u201cgenesis grant<\/a>\u201d of 25 units of its WLD cryptocurrency when users scan their irises. (The value of WLD fluctuates, but the grant has been worth around US$50, or $A75, over the past month.)<\/p>\n

People queuing for the Orb in Kenya\u00a0told the BBC<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI want to register because I\u2019m jobless and I\u2019m broke,\u201d and
\nI really like Worldcoin because of the money. I\u2019m not worried about the data. As long as the money comes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Orb operators are also\u00a0paid for each user they sign up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Critics have labelled this strategy of paying people to scan their irises as\u00a0dystopian and equivalent to bribery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Offering money for sensitive data arguably makes privacy \u2013 a human right \u2013 a luxury only the wealthy can afford. People experiencing poverty may risk future harms to meet their immediate survival needs.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cataloguing eyeballs\u2019: the risks of using biometric data<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Worldcoin uses irises for verification because every iris is unique and therefore difficult to fake. But the risks of handing over such data are very high. Unlike a driver\u2019s licence or a passport, you cannot replace your iris if the data is compromised.<\/p>\n

Surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden has criticised Worldcoin for \u201ccataloguing eyeballs<\/a>\u201d, and\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0about the unacceptable risks:
\nDon\u2019t use biometrics for anything. [\u2026] The human body is not a ticket-punch.<\/em><\/p>\n

Worldcoin claims the iris scans are deleted after being converted into a unique iris code, which becomes the user\u2019s World ID. The World ID is then stored on a decentralised blockchain, with the aim of preventing fakes or duplicates.<\/p>\n

However, the iris scan is only deleted\u00a0if<\/em>\u00a0the user opts for the \u201cWithout Data Storage\u201d option (which may mean they need to return to an Orb to re-verify in the future). If the user selects the \u201cWith Data Storage<\/a>\u201d option, Worldcoin states the iris scan is sent via encrypted communication channels to its distributed data stores where it is encrypted at rest.<\/p>\n

In either case, the user must\u00a0simply trust<\/a>\u00a0the company to delete the biometric data, or appropriately secure it against misuse.<\/p>\n

There have been many instances in which Silicon Valley companies have promised to secure data and to strictly limit its use, only to\u00a0break those promises<\/a>\u00a0by disclosing the data to other companies or government agencies or failing to secure it against attack.<\/p>\n

Journalist Eileen Guo also points out that Worldcoin has not yet clarified\u00a0whether it still uses stored biometric data to train AI models<\/a>\u00a0and whether it has deleted biometric data collected during its test phase.<\/p>\n

And despite the supposed security of biometric scanning, there have already been reports of fraudulent uses of the Worldcoin system. For example,\u00a0black market speculators<\/a>\u00a0are alleged to have persuaded people in Cambodia and Kenya to sign up for Worldcoin and then sell their World IDs and WLD tokens for cash.<\/p>\n

Regulatory action<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Regulators in several countries are taking action. The Kenyan government has now suspended Worldcoin\u2019s activities, stating regulatory concerns surrounding the project \u201crequire urgent action\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Communications Authority of Kenya and Office of the Data Protection Commissioner say they are concerned about the offer of money in exchange for consent to data collection; how securely the data are stored; and \u201cmassive citizen data in the hands of private actors without an appropriate framework<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0German privacy watchdog<\/a>\u00a0is investigating Worldcoin\u2019s business practices with support from the French privacy regulator, which called Worldcoin\u2019s data practices \u201cquestionable\u201d. The\u00a0UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office<\/a>\u00a0has announced it will investigate Worldcoin, referring to the high risk of processing special category biometric data.<\/p>\n

While there are no Orbs in Australia yet, the federal privacy regulator has previously found some companies in\u00a0breach of the privacy law<\/a>\u00a0for failing to obtain valid consent for the use of biometric data and collecting it when it was not reasonably necessary.<\/p>\n
