MTS(@MTSlive):Tools for Humanity CPO @tiagosada explains why asking for your ID and a selfie no longer proves you're human in the age of AI: "That’s not a way to prove your identity. That’s a way to give your bot access to your emails. It certainly does not prove that the bot belongs to a human." "KYC has two problems. First, it’s not private at all. You have to trust that company to store your ID on some servers, and at some point one of them screws up and all of your data ends up on the internet." "Second, it just doesn’t work. It’s pretty easy to create a fake ID and do a deepfake when you’re doing the selfie step. You can pretend to be someone that doesn’t exist, or worse, someone that does exist. KYC is not the answer." @world
