Tinder (MATCH) and Zoom adopt eye-scanning for user verification

Tinder (MATCH) will implement advanced eye-scanning technology to help users verify their identities amid concerns over AI-generated fake accounts. Users can submit iris scans through an app or a device to earn a 'proof of humanity' badge. This initiative follows reports that up to 30% of Tinder profiles could be bots aimed at scamming users. Tinder's partnership with World ID, co-founded by Sam Altman of OpenAI, could enhance user trust as scams accounted for over $1 billion in losses in the US last year, per the FTC.
