Anthropic, the creator of Claude AI, has sent privacy policy update emails to users, signaling a significant shift. The key change, effective July 8, is the potential requirement for consumer-level users (Free, Pro, Max plans) to verify their age or identity. This verification would be conducted through the third-party service Persona, involving uploading a government-issued photo ID and taking a live selfie for comparison. Anthropic states this data is for security purposes only, will not be used for model training, and is processed by Persona, not stored on its own servers. The update also clarifies data handling for Claude's new capabilities: when performing multi-step tasks or connecting to third-party apps, user data may flow between Anthropic and those external services. Additionally, more information may be collected from users who participate in Anthropic research. This move is seen as a major step towards establishing accountability as AI agents become more powerful and autonomous, capable of executing complex, real-world tasks. It follows previous enforcement actions, like the banning of the "Fable 5" account, and indicates a broader industry trend toward stricter user identification and safety measures. The verification is expected to apply in specific scenarios, particularly as users engage Claude in more complex agentic workflows.

World Foundation has raised $52.5 million in a new funding round by selling WLD tokens with a 12-month lockup period to strategic investors. The round was led by digital asset investment firm Pantera Capital, with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Eightco Holdings, Selini Capital, and Susquehanna Crypto. The funds will be used for the global expansion of World ID, a digital identity system that verifies users are real people online without revealing personal data. Verification is performed using an Orb device, which creates a unique World ID stored on the user's smartphone. The system utilizes advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs to protect privacy. This funding coincides with the project's shift to large-scale deployment. According to World Foundation, over 39 million people have joined the World Network, more than 18 million users have verified via Orb, and the network has processed over 475 million World ID verification requests since launch. The company plans to expand integration with corporate clients and developers using its recently introduced World ID 4.0 platform.

The U.S. Senate will begin consideration of the CLARITY Act on September 15, according to Senator Jim Risch. A procedural vote is scheduled to overcome a filibuster, requiring 60 votes. Risch warned that further delays risk exposing Americans to fraud and could shift investments and financial leadership overseas. With Congress struggling to pass comprehensive crypto market structure legislation, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan described the bill as entering a "walking dead" state—politically alive but stalled. This prolonged uncertainty increases the near-term importance of SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's rulemaking agenda. The SEC and CFTC are working on a "regulatory bridge" under "Project Crypto" to provide temporary clarity on token classification, custody, and securities-related blockchain activities while Congress negotiates. However, the agencies' rulemaking has limits; the CLARITY Act is needed to permanently define jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC for digital assets and establish a full federal regulatory framework. The upcoming Senate vote will decide if the bill advances, while the SEC continues developing rules under its existing authority. Hougan remains optimistic that the crypto industry will find a path forward regardless of legislative delays.

World ID, a proof-of-human system, is now integrated with peaqOS, enabling autonomous robots and machines to verify they are interacting with a real human without accessing personal information like name or face. Using World ID's zero-knowledge proof technology via World App, individuals can prove their humanity privately. Machines on peaqOS can perform this verification natively without API keys or per-check fees. This addresses the growing need for autonomous systems—such as delivery robots and shared machines—to confirm user authenticity or authorization without collecting personal data, moving beyond traditional methods like PINs or documents. peaqOS coordinates the process: machines use decentralized IDs, discover the service via the Machine Market, and manage verification from request to result. The integration provides a verifiable, privacy-preserving record that a check occurred. A key application is autonomous medication delivery, where patients verify via World App at multiple stages. The robot receives only a zero-knowledge proof, not personal details, ensuring the right recipient collects the medication. The system also supports one-per-human use cases like promotional giveaways and shared machine access, allowing operators to confirm unique users without requiring accounts or personal information.

The integration of PeaqOS and World ID now allows autonomous machines to verify they are interacting with real, unique individuals without collecting names, photos, or other personal data. This update, available via robotic.sh, enables connected devices to directly request and verify World ID proofs. The system leverages zero-knowledge technology, letting a person prove they are human while maintaining the privacy of their identity. This addresses a key challenge for operators of delivery robots, shared machines, and autonomous systems: how to authenticate a user as genuine without relying on insecure PINs, pickup codes, or traditional identity checks that require personal data collection. Instead of obtaining identifying information, a device receives a cryptographic proof that the user is a real person. PeaqOS acts as a coordination layer, allowing devices to utilize World ID via decentralized identifiers and a device marketplace. A robot can request verification, receive a zero-knowledge proof, and register an auditable record of the interaction—all without exposing underlying personal data. The system also supports uniqueness verification, enabling machines to enforce rules like "one item per person" without maintaining user identity databases. A demonstrated use case involves autonomous medicine delivery: a patient verifies via the World App when placing an order, a pharmacist verifies before loading the medication, and the patient verifies again upon delivery so the robot can confirm the recipient is linked to the order before unlocking the compartment. Similarly, promotional robots could ensure one item per person, and shared vending machines could grant access to verified individuals without requiring accounts or personal data. This integration for PeaqOS-powered robots and devices minimizes the identity information collected or stored while allowing autonomous systems to confirm they are interacting with real humans.
