Atherium co-founder Vitallic Butterin is arguing that the digital identity approach promoted by Sam Altman’s world project has real privacy risks.
Earlier known as WorldCoineThe world was designed for humanity for the devices of Altman and Alex Blania. The organization says that it can do it Help the difference between AI agents and humans By scanning the eyeballs of the users and creating a unique identity for them on the blockchain.
In A long postBalnen said that the approach to use the world Zero-knowledge proof Various digital passports and digital ID projects are also being detected to verify human identity while protecting oblivion. And he admitted that our social media, voting, and all types of internet services can contribute to all kinds of internet services without compromising all privacy, “our social media, voting, and all types of internet services using” on the surface “,” ZK-wrapped digital ID “.
However, Buterin suggested that this approach still boils a “one-person” ID system, which pose a significant risk.
He said, “In the real world, pseudonym usually requires many accounts … so under a-transport ID, even if ZK-wrapped, we risk getting closer to a world where all your activity should be subject to a public identity,” he wrote. “In the world of rising risk (such as drone), it is important to remove the option for people to protect themselves through pseudonym.”
As a concrete example of risks, Calin said that the US government recently started Student and scholar visa applicants are required To make public social media accounts public, so that it can screen those accounts to “enmity”. Similarly, he suggested that even though there is no public link between various accounts created under the same digital ID, “a government can force someone to express its secret, so that they can see their entire activity.”
Then, governments, online services, and anyone else can expect to verify that without forcing someone’s real person to compromise their privacy? The Buterin is advocating an attitude emphasizing the “pluralistic identity”, with “no major issuing authority, whether an individual, or an institution, or a platform.”
The pluralistic systems can be either “clear” (they ask users to verify their identity on the basis of the already verified users) or “vested” (relying on a variety of different identity systems)-In their views, these represent the “best realistic solution”.
“In my view, the ‘One-Parivatti’ identity today is an ideal result of the projects, if they were merged with a socio-crown-based identity,” butterin concluded.
