Zoom has launched a beta program integrating World ID Deep Face — requiring iris-scan biometric enrollment via the Orb device — to verify that meeting participants are genuine humans rather than AI-generated deepfakes. This marks a significant expansion of biometric identity infrastructure into everyday digital communication, with a universal 'Verified Human' badge system that signals who is — and who is not — permitted to participate. Scripture warns of a coming global system that controls participation in commerce and society based on identity marking, a framework Revelation 13:16-17 describes with striking precision.
