On March 15, 2025, Thailand took a bold leap into the future of digital security with the launch of World’s proof of human technology, a groundbreaking system designed to distinguish real people from bots in an increasingly AI-dominated online world. This innovative tool promises to bolster trust, enhance privacy, and shield Thais from the rising tide of AI-driven scams.
A New Era of Digital Trust Begins
Teaming up with the Thailand International Digital Business & Finance Centre (TIDC), the rollout kicks off with three accessible locations in Bangkok: the World flagship at Emsphere’s first floor, NT Service Centre Chaengwattana, and NT Service Centre Pathumwan. This marks the initial phase of a broader expansion across Thailand, launched at a critical moment. Last year, the nation faced over 168 million scam attempts—a staggering doubling from 2023—fueled by AI-powered fraud, deepfakes, and fake identities. World’s technology offers a timely, privacy-focused fix to verify human users without compromising personal data.
Tackling the AI Fraud Epidemic
As artificial intelligence evolves, so do the challenges of separating genuine humans from bots online—a global issue hitting Thailand hard. Over the past 13 months, online fraud has drained 42 billion baht ($1.2 billion) from the country, driven by AI tricks like deepfake voices and synthetic media. Traditional verification methods, which often demand personal info, fall short against these sophisticated threats. World’s proof of human technology steps in with a fresh approach, using advanced cryptography to confirm humanness securely and anonymously, setting a new benchmark for digital safety in 2025.
Privacy-First Innovation for All
“Thailand’s digital landscape is thriving, with over 52 million social media users relying on online platforms daily,” said Wai Man Raymond Chu, TIDC’s Executive Director. “But with that comes vulnerability. Our partnership with World delivers a solution that lets people prove they’re real without risking their privacy, keeping Thailand a leader in secure digital progress.” Unlike older systems, this technology skips data collection, leaning on zero-knowledge proofs and biometric checks to block AI impersonation while keeping users in control.
Empowering Thais in the Digital Economy
Beyond fighting fraud, World’s proof of human service aims to weave Thais deeper into the digital economy. It opens doors to over 100 Mini Apps—think educational tools, games, and community hubs—while offering verified users an optional perk: a one-time grant of Worldcoin tokens (WLD), claimable monthly for a year. “We’re thrilled to bring this to Thailand, where AI fraud is a pressing issue,” said Thiri Myint, Asia Pacific Regional Manager at Tools For Humanity, a core contributor to World. “It’s a step toward a safer, more inclusive online future.”
How to Get Started Today
Starting March 15, 2025, Thais can visit the three Bangkok hubs to sign up. More locations are slated to roll out as demand grows. This launch isn’t just about security—it’s about building a digital Thailand where trust and privacy coexist, empowering users to thrive amid AI’s rapid rise. Don’t wait to join the revolution in human authentication.
