Vitalik Buterin has reservations about the SAM Altman Global Project
Vitalik Buterin, co -founder of Ethereum, argues that the approach to identifying the digital identity that is promoted by the Sam Altman Global Project has real private risks.
Formerly known as worldcoinWorld was created under Altman and Alex Blania tools for humanity. The organization says it can It helps in distinguishing between artificial and human intelligence factors By wiping the eyes fried for users and creating a unique identity for them on Blockchain.
in ProlongedBurin indicated that the world’s approach to use Zero knowledge of proofs To verify the human identity, while protecting its identity also, it is also explored by various digital passports and digital identifiers. He admitted that “on the surface”, “Zk Digital ID” can contribute to “our social media protection, vote, and all types of Internet services against manipils from SYBILS and robots, all without bargaining for privacy.”
However, Burin suggested that this approach is still summarized in a “one person for a person” identifier, creating great risks.
“In the real world, the borrowed name generally requires multiple accounts … so under the identification of one person for a person, even if it is wrapped in ZK, we risk approaching a world in which all your activity should be actually under one general identity,” he wrote. “In a world of increased risks (for example, drones), getting rid of people’s choice to protect themselves through the wigs has great negative aspects.”
As a tangible example, Borin pointed out that the United States government has started recently Claiming applicants in the visa of students and researchers To set their social media accounts on public places, they can check these accounts for “hostility”. Likewise, he suggested that even if there is no general connection between different accounts created under one digital identifier, “the government can force someone to reveal his secret, so that they can see their entire activity.”
Instead, Burin calls for a approach that focuses on “pluralistic identity”, as “there is no single dominant issuance authority, whether it is a person, an institution or a platform.” Multiple systems can be either “frank” (they ask users to check their identity based on certificates from already verified users) or “implicit” (relying on a variety of different identity systems)-in his opinion, this represents “the best realistic solution.”
