身份证明:它是什么以及为什么重要 (PROOF OF PERSONHOOD:What it is and why it’s needed)


  1. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has accelerated the need to differentiate between human- and AI-generated content online
    人工智能的快速发展加速了区分人类和人工智能产生在线内容的需要。

  2. Proof of personhood addresses two of the key considerations presented by the Age of AI: (1) protecting against sybil attacks and (2) minimizing the spread of AI-generated misinformation
    人格证明解决了人工智能时代的两个关键问题:(1)免受女巫攻击;(2)尽量减少人工智能产生错误信息的传播。

  3. World ID, an open and permissionless identity protocol, acts as a global digital passport and can be used anonymously to prove uniqueness and humanness as well as to selectively disclose credentials issued by other parties
    世界身份证是一个开放和无许可的身份协议,作为全球数字护照,可以匿名使用,以证明其独特性和人格,并有选择地披露其他各方颁发的证书。

  4. Worldcoin has published in-depth resources to provide more details about proof of personhood and World ID
    世界币已经发布了深度资源,以提供更多关于人格证明世界身份证的细节。

Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing. As it does, the ability to differentiate between human- and AI-generated content online is going from a novel idea to a necessity.

人工智能正在迅速发展。随着它的发展,区分人类和人工智能产生的在线内容的能力正在从一个新奇的想法变成一种必要。

That’s where proof of personhood comes in.

这就是人格证明的意义所在

In a nutshell, proof of personhood (PoP) is a mechanism that establishes an individual’s humanness and uniqueness. It can be thought of as the first and most fundamental building block in establishing digital identity.

简而言之,人格证明(PoP)是一种确定个人的人性和独特性的机制。它可以被认为是建立数字身份的第一个和最基本的基石。

The Worldcoin project is initiating World ID, an open and permissionless identity protocol that can be used anonymously to prove uniqueness and humanness as well as to selectively disclose credentials issued by other parties. More on that below, but first let’s look at the challenges that PoP addresses.

世界币项目正在发起World ID,这是一个开放的、无许可的身份协议,可以匿名使用,以证明独特性和人类性,以及选择性地披露其他方发出的证书。下面会有更多的内容,但首先让我们看看PoP所解决的挑战。

为什么需要人格证明?(Why is proof of personhood needed?)

Advanced AI can be an empowering tool, but like all emerging technologies, it introduces new and complex considerations. Two of these are:

先进的人工智能可以成为一种授权工具,但像所有新兴技术一样,它引入了新的和复杂的考虑。其中两点是:

  1. Limiting the number of accounts each individual can create to protect against online attacks from multiple pseudonymous identities generated by a single attacker (aka sybil attacks)
    限制每个人可以创建的账户数量,防止单个攻击者产生的多个假名身份的在线攻击(又称女巫攻击
  2. Preventing the dissemination of realistic looking/sounding AI-generated content intended to deceive or spread disinformation at scale
    防止传播外观/声音逼真的人工智能生成的内容,造成欺骗或大规模传播虚假信息

Proof of personhood addresses both of these. 
人格证明解决了这两个问题。

First, PoP provides natural rate limiting through account authentication. This essentially eliminates sybil attacks at any notable scale. Second, it allows for the filtration of content or accounts that have been either confirmed or not confirmed as human, helping address the viral spread of AI-generated disinformation.

首先,PoP通过账户认证提供自然速率限制。这从根本上消除了任何明显规模的女巫攻击。其次,它允许过滤那些已被确认为或未被确认为人类的内容或账户,帮助解决人工智能产生的虚假信息病毒式传播的问题。

PoP should not be seen as a panacea, but instead as a necessary first step in establishing a global network of genuine, unique human identities. If achieved on a large enough scale, the potential social benefits are considerable.

PoP不应被视为万能药,而应被视为建立真正的、独特的人类身份全球网络的必要第一步。如果在足够大的范围内实现,潜在的社会效益十分可观。

世界币如何帮助建立人格证明?(How can Worldcoin help establish proof of personhood?)

Worldcoin recently introduced a privacy-first, decentralized and permissionless identity protocol, known as World ID, to help establish PoP on a global scale.

世界币最近推出了一个隐私第一、去中心化和无许可的身份协议,被称为World ID,以帮助在全球范围内建立PoP。

In order to build World ID, the teams developing the Worldcoin project first established a proof of personhood mechanism based on a custom biometric imaging device known as the Orb. Once a person has verified their humanness at an Orb, they can receive a unique PoP credential on a compatible digital wallet. The first of these is the World App, built by Tools for Humanity, however more will become available as the protocol continues to decentralize.

为了建立世界身份证,开发世界币项目的团队首先建立了一个基于定制的生物识别成像设备the Orb的人格证明机制。一旦一个人在Orb上验证了他们的人格,他们就可以在一个兼容的数字钱包上获得一个独特的PoP凭证。其中第一个是世界应用,由人类工具建立,然而随着协议继续去中心化,更多的应用将变得可用。

World ID can be thought of as a global digital passport or identity wallet that lives locally on its holder’s phone and can be used anonymously thanks to zero-knowledge proofs to prove that they are a real and unique person.

世界身份证可以被认为是一个全球数字护照或身份钱包,它生活在持有人的手机上,由于零知识证明,可以匿名使用,以证明他们是一个真实和独特的人。

As the World ID protocol is developed further by the community, it will support any verified credential (at launch, supported verifications include phone number verification for easy access to anyone with a smartphone and Orb iris biometric verification for extreme accuracy).

随着世界身份证协议被社区进一步开发,它将支持任何经过验证的凭证(在推出时,支持的验证包括电话号码验证,以方便任何拥有智能手机的人使用,以及Orb虹膜生物识别验证,以获得极高的准确性)。
