A: Hey there! Heard anything interesting lately?
B: Not much, just work and all. What's up?
A: Oh, I listened to this podcast from TechCrunch about a cool tech company called Tools for Humanity. They've come up with something straight out of sci-fi!
B: That sounds interesting! What's their invention?
A: They're putting these eye-scanning Orbs around the world, and they use them to check if you're a real person instead of a bot or deepfake. Isn't that awesome?
B: Wow, I didn't know we needed something like that! But wait, isn't an iris scan usually for identity verification?
A: Yeah, that's what I thought at first too. But they clarified it to check if you're human, not your identity. It turns out verifying humanity is more important now than ever with all the bots and AI-driven fraud going on online.
B: That makes sense! Thanks for sharing that cool tidbit. Now I'm curious about this company's approach to biometric tech.
A: Oh, they take a privacy-first approach, which is refreshing. They also open-source their technology, so it can be used and improved by others. Pretty cool, huh?
B: Definitely! I should listen to that podcast myself sometime. Thanks for filling me in!
A: No problem, happy to share interesting stuff with you!
