Sam Altman's 'human verification' company thinks its eye-scanning orbs could solve ticket scalping
"Concert Kit relies on the revamped World ID, an orb-based verification system that scans users' eyeballs and faces to create a 'proof of human' signature. This signature allows users to prove they are real and unique without revealing personal information."
"The integration of Concert Kit with World ID enables artists to designate a specific pool of tickets for 'verified' humans only, preventing bots from accessing these tickets and ensuring that real fans have a fair chance to purchase them."
"Artists can control the level of verification required from their fans, and the new World ID app will also allow individuals to set up an account with a selfie check if they do not have access to the orb."
Concert Kit is a new tool designed to assist bands and artists in combating ticket scalping bots. It utilizes the World ID system, which verifies users through biometric data, creating a 'proof of human' signature. This allows artists to reserve tickets for verified individuals only, similar to pre-sales. The system aims to prevent bots from accessing tickets, giving artists control over verification levels. Bruno Mars is among the first to implement this solution on his upcoming tour, with availability for other artists as well.
