Zoom and World Introduce 'Verified Human' Check for Meeting Participants

Colleagues, a tech update: Zoom and World are introducing a verification to confirm that meeting participants are genuine.

Briefly:
- Why: deepfake attacks have caused substantial losses (Arup lost $25M in 2024; a similar case occurred in Singapore).
- How: World ID Deep Face cross-checks a signed Orb photo, a real-time facial scan and a video-call frame; on match, a 'Verified Human' badge is granted.
- Practice: hosts may require verification in the waiting room; participants may initiate it during calls.

Why it matters: for organisations concluding deals over video, this reduces fraud risk.

Will you enable this verification?
