Safe & Smart Tech

The company's involvement with Worldcoin, which collects sensitive biometric data, faces significant concerns regarding its AI ethics governance.

The governance of Worldcoin's token allocations is opaque, lacking autonomous on-chain code, third-party reporting, or audit processes, and there is no clear process for transferring governance to the user community. This opacity also extends to algorithmic transparency, with no objective processes tying public statements to the actions of World Foundation or Tools for Humanity. There are numerous concerns about how Worldcoin's data is protected, retained, used, controlled, and deleted, indicating several unauthorized data use incidents and basic data control options with significant limitations. Worldcoin's identity verification relies on iris-scanning Orb hardware, and while the company's INFINITY Authentication platform is in pilot programs with partners like Coinbase and Kraken, it is available for less than 20% of services. The company acknowledges risks from cybersecurity threats and security incidents, and critical vulnerabilities are patched within 45-60 days on average, indicating inconsistent vulnerability management. Worldcoin's 'proof-of-personhood' approach is likely not compliant with KYC/AML obligations in many jurisdictions, suggesting a lack of privacy by design and data minimization. Regulators globally have expressed concern regarding Worldcoin's biometric collection practices, and the company's model is unlikely to comply with global KYC/AML requirements, leading to multiple regulatory penalties for privacy violations. Opposition and accusations of 'data colonialism' toward large-scale biometric systems indicate a negative stance on digital rights.
