This Might Be The Only Way to Save the Internet ft. Tiago Sada, CPO of WORLD
What happens when we can't tell what's real on the internet anymore?
In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Tiago Sada, CPO of Tools for Humanity and the Worldcoin project, to talk about one of the biggest problems facing the internet today: trust. Bots, deepfakes, and AI-generated content are flooding online spaces... from gaming and social media to financial services and ticketing platforms.
We dive into how World ID, zero-knowledge proofs, and the World App aim to verify human identity without sacrificing privacy. Tiago explains the tech behind the Orb (yes, the eye-scanning device you’ve seen all over social media), the philosophy of building a human-first internet, and why proving you’re human anonymously may be the only path forward.
? Topics we cover:
-- Why online trust is collapsing
-- The bot problem on the internet
-- How zero-knowledge proofs protect your data
-- How World App works + developer tools for building mini apps
-- AI agents and the future of human identity online
-- Real-world use cases, from ticket scalping to spam-proof Discord servers
