Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman, has rebranded its iris-scanning World ID from a crypto experiment into an enterprise-grade proof-of-humanity system, partnering with Zoom, Okta, DocuSign, Tinder and Reddit to verify humans against AI bots and deepfakes. The development of a global biometric identity infrastructure — scanning irises to authenticate personhood across financial, social and commercial systems — mirrors prophetic warnings about a coming world system that controls who may buy, sell or participate in society. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a mark without which no one can buy or sell, and the accelerating normalization of biometric identity systems lays the technological and social groundwork for exactly such a structure.
