Eye Scans Target Ticket Scalping

Concert Kit Tackles Ticket Bots

Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity, originating as a cryptocurrency-backed startup, offers Concert Kit. This feature uses the revamped World ID, an orb-based verification system that scans users’ eyes to create a ‘proof of human’ signature.

Verification Process

Concert Kit allows artists to designate tickets for ‘verified’ humans only. Those with a World ID can use it to get ticket codes for major ticketing platforms. According to the company, this system relies on eye scanning for verification.

Regulatory and Privacy Concerns

The use of eye-scanning orbs raises concerns about data collection and privacy. Potential regulatory scrutiny and industry reactions to this technology are pending.
