Summary
Tinder is partnering with World, a company co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to let users verify their identity using facial scanning orbs (physical devices that take pictures of faces and eyes to confirm someone is a real person, not a bot or AI agent). Users who complete this verification in select markets like Japan and the United States will receive five free boosts in the app.
